Jennifer Lawrence was nominated for an Academy Award at just 20 years old for her work on "Winter's Bone," and if "Hunger Games" director Gary Ross is to be believed, she'll earn her second in very short order. Ross believes that Lawrence should be nominated for Best Actress for her role in the upcoming adaptation of the Suzanne Collins novel, Entertainment Weekly reports. "Hunger Games" is slated to hit theaters in March and is already generating a considerable amount of buzz. Much of the discussion has been centered around Lawrence's portrayal of Katniss Everdeen, the gritty heroine that finds herself in a televised battle to the death. "It's such an intensely physical role and an emotional one. She carries the entire movie," Ross told the publication. "To be able to do that at that age is so kind of incredible that I was in a little bit of awe. Do I think she should be nominated? Absolutely." Movie buffs will have to wait until next year to find out if she is nominated. Until then, they can check out this year's crop of Oscar hopefuls including Viola Davis in "The Help" and Melissa McCarthy in "Bridesmaids."
