Jennifer Lawrence was also nominated for and WON Best Actress for Katniss in The Hunger Games! Jennifer wasn't there to accept her award from English actor and comedian Reece Shearsmith. From Empire:

And the winner is JENNIFER LAWRENCE for The Hunger Games rather than Silver Linings Playbook, because Empire voters don't get freaked out by genre movies. She can’t be with us tonight because she’s still hunger gaming somewhere. That, or she tripped on the way to the red carpet and hasn’t gotten up yet. Either way, may the odds be ever in her favour. And she has sent a message, which Shearsmith reads.

"Hi Empire awards, I'm really sorry I can't be there. I'd like to thank the Empire readers for voting for me. I loved playing Catnip - is that right?" asks Shearsmith. "I'll make sure she gets this award - I won't really."
