Oscar-nominated actress Jennifer Lawrence took the stage at Saturday Night Live last night, and wasted no time in mock-swiping at her rivals for best actress, reports People. To 9-year-old Quvenzhané Wallis, of Beasts of the Southern Wild, she snarked, "the alphabet called. It wants its letters back." To Jessica Chastain, "In Zero Dark Thirty you caught bin Laden. So what? In Winter's Bone I caught a squirrel, and then ate it." She later took a turn as Hunger Games character Katniss Everdeen in a mock press conference. Over at the Huffington Post, Mike Ryan runs down his scorecard and finds Lawrence's performance "not good." Click for Lawrence's misadventures in archery. (More Jennifer Lawrence stories.)
