I love Jennifer Lawrence as much as the next person, but the Academy really has to stop rewarding young talent before it’s matured. The girl has chops, but she ain’t Meryl (no offense to winter’s bone). And she damn sure can’t hold a candle to other winners like Penelope Cruz, Viola Davis, Jane Fonda, Kate Winslet…the list goes on. Give young...
