Jennifer Lawrence declared the most powerful actress in all the realm of acting
Establishing a clear hierarchy in hopes to prevent further bloodshed, Forbes has named Jennifer Lawrence the Most Powerful Actress, her dark rule officially begun according to our nation’s most tireless indexer of culture according to money and arbitrary guidelines. Lawrence’s power is derived from many sources, including the box-office takes of The Hunger Games and X-Men franchises; her three Academy Award nominations and one win; the vaguely defined measure of “fame” that factors into Forbes’ overall Celebrity 100 list; the serpent god Set, who bestows immortality upon those who amuse him at awards shows, etc. But most importantly, Jennifer Lawrence has the power of getting people to click on headlines if her name is in them, even just to read a list pared down from a larger list along gender and occupational lines. Or to read an article mocking that list, while also shamelessly making use of it.
