Jennifer Lawrence took home an Independent Spirit Award for Best Female Lead today for her role as Tiffany in Silver Linings Playbook. "Independent films are my passion," she said, so receiving this award must have been especially gratifying.
Jennifer took her brothers as her dates to the awards. She stunned on the red carpet in a gorgeous cut-out Lanvin dress.
Silver Linings Playbook dominated at the Independent Spirit Awards, taking home Best Screenplay, Best Director for David O. Russel, and Best Feature, in addition to Jen's win.

Have a listen to Jennifer Lawrence's telephone interview with WFPL Louisville's Joseph Lord. She talks about the Oscars, talk show anxiety and the brutal paparazzi.
From WFPL:
She now deals with the toils of stardom. The photographers hounding her. The gossip magazines guessing at her personal life. It's even followed to her hometown. Near the holidays, a newspaper item revolved around her shopping in Louisville for bedding.
"I think it's gross," she said. Later she adds:
"I was going to buy groceries last weekend and there was this new chain of paparazzi who just carry a video camera while they're taking pictures of you—and they just video you and they start making fun of you to try to make you mad to get a reaction, so they can sell it. Like what you do to monkeys in the zoo, when you just bang on the glass to try to make them mad to get a reaction.
"It just hurts your feelings, because you're like, 'Dude, I just want to just buy some groceries and you're making fun of me with a camera in my face.' So I think it's really gross. And it makes me feel like people don't expect me to be a human anymore."
The other aspect of stardom are talk shows—and Lawrence has been in high demand on the late night circuit.
Perhaps one reason is her penchant for being candid. She told Jay Leno—in vivid detail—about an encounter with an older stripper, for example.
These interviews, I tell her, seem to be well-received. They're reliably written about by every entertainment website, rarely in a negative way.
"That's good," she said. "It's only a matter of time."
Is saying the wrong thing a worry before going on to these shows?
"While I'm talking I'm worried about it," Lawrence said. "But I'm just like, you can't take it so seriously forever. I mean, like, it's a job. I guess the same anxiety where, like, I do a red carpet and at night I'm laying in bed and I just get that anxiety and I'm like, 'Oh God, did I say something—did I offend somebody? It's like high school."
More to Come
Once the awards season ends on Feb. 24, Lawrence will get back to work.
The second part of The Hunger Games series, Catching Fire, has a few more days of filming to go. This fall, she'll star again alongside Bradley Cooper in Serena. Soon, she'll begin filming the follow-up to 2011's X-Men: First Class.
She rarely gets back to Louisville, but she's taken care to thank her family when accepting awards such as the Golden Globe for best actress in a comedy. Her parents still have their home in Louisville. Her brothers, Ben and Blaine, still live and work in town.
They all talk frequently, she said. About their jobs, about her job.
"I wouldn't be anywhere without my family," she said.
Jennifer Lawrence graced the cover of The Wrap magazine's last OscarWrap issue for the 2013 season. She also let them shoot some behind-the-scenes video of photographer Patrick Fraser's cover shoot. You can see a few quick peeks of Jen's stylist, Mark Townsend fluffing her hair!
From The Wrap OscarWrap cover story:
On The Hunger Games:
Lawrence’s career has seemingly run on two parallel tracks: indies like “Silver Linings,” “Winter’s Bone” and “The Burning Plain” on one side, franchises like “The X-Men” and “The Hunger Games” on the other. The franchise side brings her the $10 million paydays, but the indie side is clearly where her heart lies.
“I had done indies before ‘Winter’s Bone,’” she said, “but that was the first time I could really identify that feeling of being freezing cold and on your 18th hour of free overtime, and everybody else was doing the same thing, and we were all there for the passion of what we were making. That is a feeling that you’ll never get on a studio movie. You’ll get a really nice trailer, but you’ll never get that bond with people. That is only on indies, and I long for that every day.”
Yet she’s going back to her final nine days of shooting on the second “Hunger Games” movie right after the Oscars, and then she’s doing another “X-Men” film. “The first ‘X-Men,’ I was excited to see what a giant studio film would be like,“ she said. “It seemed like it might be fun, and it was. With ‘Hunger Games,’ I loved it despite its size. I loved the script and the books and I loved everybody involved in it.
I didn’t like how big it was, and I did not want to be in another franchise. But I don’t regret saying yes, which kind of surprises me. Because I fully expected to.”
