Nominees: Jennifer Lawrence, Scarlett Johannson, Anna Kendrick
We all know of the "golden girls" of Hollywood today. The Meryl Streeps and Michelle Pfeiffers and....Betty Whites of the world. They're still around, but it's certainly not their time anymore, a small crop of young actresses are making their way to the top.
Scarlett Johannson had a good year, co-starring (or super co-starring) in the Avengers and capping the year off with a role in Hitchcock. Solid performances in both, and a brighter future ahead, but she didn't win it this year.
Anna Kendrick, one of my personal favs, starred in a few movies this year that did well both critically and financially and has risen her star. Pitch Perfect, End of Watch, Paranorman and The Company You Keep are on her resume for this year, and she continues to show why she's one of the best actresses around. But only 1 woman had a better 2012 than her...

WINNER:
Jennifer Lawrence
In 2011, Jennifer Lawrence starred in her first mega franchise (X-Men). In 2012, she did it again with The Hunger Games. While the Hunger Games wasn't fully what it could have been, that certainly doesn't fall on Lawrence. She is the ideal Katniss. But her year didn't end there. With House at The End of the Street, and more notably, Silver Linings Playbook, we are witnessing a star in the making.
