Jennifer Lawrence: 'Silver Linings' Oscar Love Is Much 'Deserved'

'It's absolutely amazing to be able to share this with everybody,' she tells MTV News of nods for Bradley Cooper, Robert De Niro and Jackie Weaver.

Jennifer Lawrence might be a fully grown, 22-year-old woman, but on Thursday (January 9), she found out about her just-announced Oscar nomination for "Silver Linings Playbook" in a very childlike way.

"I was having a sleepover with my parents," Lawrence told MTV News on the red carpet at the Critics' Choice Movie Awards. "So I was asleep, and they came into my room and told me what happened. And then they left my bedroom, and I went back to sleep."

And she's not alone: Her "Playbook" co-stars Bradley Cooper, Robert De Niro and Jackie Weaver are also nominated for Oscars. "I believed with all my heart that they deserved it, so it's absolutely amazing to be able to share this with everybody," she said.

The Oscar nomination is hardly the biggest news in Lawrence's life, with "Hunger Games" sequel "Catching Fire" and "X-Men: Days of Future Past" looming on her very impressive horizon. Lawrence revealed that her second turn as Katniss, which just recently wrapped filming, was even more challenging than the first go-round.

"This one was harder," she admitted. "There were a lot more six-day weeks, and the schedule was exhausting, [but] it's so fun to get back with everybody, the same crew and obviously Josh [Hutcherson]. And [new director] Francis [Lawrence] is such a visionary. I think he's doing an incredible job."
