Jennifer Lawrence isn’t even 25-years-old yet and she has been nominated for three Oscars, winning in 2012 for the Best Actress in “Silver Linings Playbook.” Thanks to those noms, and her stardom in “The Hunger Games” franchise, she has become a bonafide star, and arguably the most sought after actress in Hollywood right now bar maybe Jessica Chastain or Anne Hathaway. With such stardom comes power and clout.
You’ll remember last year it was reported that Lawrence shot a cameo for the Farrelly Brothers’ sequel “Dumb & Dumber To” starring Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels. Many thought it was a rumor, but it apparently happened.
THR reports that Lawrence’s filmed her cameo in “Dumb and Dumber To,” last year, but she apparently had final approval of whether or not it made it into the film. And so with the rights to nix the clip, she did, and it wound up on the cutting-room floor. But Bobby and Peter Farrelly and Lawrence’s camp deny that claim.
In fact, in a separate piece, a THR writer asks the Farrellys about the cameo and they deny that it was shot, but the trade seems pretty insistent in their original piece on the subject. So did it happen? And perhaps more to the point, do you care and would it even have made a difference?
Incidentally, the Farrelly Brothers have revealed that for the first film Jim Carrey got paid $7 million while Jeff Daniels only made $50,000. Wonder what those salaries are now, and one has to wonder just how much audiences are going to care for this sequel. I haven’t seen the tracking numbers yet, but I’ve heard most predictions coming around $25 million for opening weekend. I wouldn’t be surprised if it was much less, but who knows. Is “Dumb and Dumber To” arriving—like many sequels of late—a decade too late? We’ll see, but definitely sound off below if you feel strongly either way.
it would\’ve made me happy if Jennifer Lawrence as well as Lupita Nyongo Won their Oscar shared with another Nominee….
Jennifer LAwrence did naot campaign at all last year. Rather. it\’s amazing she got as far as she did without campaigning.
@Nuno. Unless I misread something, the writer does say Lawrence won for "Best Actress" in "Silver Linings." He doesn\’t even mention American Hustle, for which she was nominated. To win for best actress or best actor means in a leading role.
U just need 21% votes to win an oscar in a tight race. So obvio 80 perc people think others must have won it.AH rolle was just a nomination n jen didn\’t even campaign for it, not one interview regarding her oscar nom.silver linings was a superb performance given she is not the central role of the film.jessica was great too. But jens deserved to win it, she won the sag award too so its a good reassurance that everyone thought she wss better.also her winters bone snub was always going to give her few extra votes. Though jen was great in AH , lupita role was an emotional one n deserved it like just any one who won the award that day.
Regarding Lupita??…yeah, rely amazing what good campaigning can do. Lawrence gave the better performance hands down.
jennifer Lawrence over Lupita!? Jennifer Lawrence shouldn\’t have even been nominated for AM. It\’s amazing what good campaigning does
To be honest, I was pissed that Jennifer Lawrence won an Oscar over Jessica Chastain. Jessica\’s performance exceeded Jennifer\’s. However, in 2014, I was pissed that Lupita won an Oscar for 12 Years a Slave. I thought Jennifer Lawrence performance in American Hustle was much better.
I should rephrase that. I wasn\’t pissed but just shocked. I think Jennifer won an Oscar for the wrong performance. She was much better in American Hustle than she was in Silver Linings Playbook. That\’s just my opinion, anyway.
Death, taxes and my mom.
She won her Oscar for a Best Performance by an Actress in a Leading Role, not in Supporting like you affirm above…
