Jennifer Lawrence (2013)

For centuries, public-relations historians will recount how the 2013 awards season produced two Oscar-winning actresses, who, despite being voted best in their field by their colleagues in the Academy, were not both treated the best by the press. Defying conventional Hollywood wisdom, Jennifer Lawrence has become a media darling by showing seemingly little interest in modifying herself for the media, discussing in interviews everything from being “uneducated” to her deep-seated desire to be so unburdened by work that she does not have to change her pants for days on end. She has reminisced about a cheese steak she housed before her first Oscars, ate a mailbox-size burrito mid–Vanity Fair interview, and salivated over McDonald’s French fries on this weekend’s red carpet. When she wasn’t offering generous sound bites, the 22-year-old further endeared herself to fans by insulting Zach Galifianakis with ease on his Funny or Die series, adorably spazzing out over meeting Jack Nicholson while taping an ABC segment, and, most memorably, tripping on her way to collect her best-actress Oscar for Silver Linings Playbook—and then calling attention to it during a self-effacing acceptance-speech aside. Immediately after, she even joked around with reporters during a formal press conference, after confessing that she had just taken a shot backstage.

Jennifer Lawrence beat out Jessica Chastain to take home the Best Actress Oscar for her role in "Silver Linings Playbook."

At 22 years old, the "Silver Linings Playbook" star ties Marlee Matlin as the most junior to nab lead actress -- and joins the ranks of Tatum O'Neal (10), Angelina Jolie (24) and Hollywood's other young Oscar darlings.

Thank you. You guys are just standing up because you feel bad that I fell and that's really embarrassing but thank you.
