The 17 Best Moments of J Law's Mouth's Career

by Mary Grace Garis

If you're looking to satiate you anticipation of the new Hunger Games movie, good news. The first clip of Mockingjay: Part 1 was released today, and it doesn't disappoint: It's a riveting moment in which Katniss Everdeen sees Peeta is still alive and stares at a screen, mouth agape. It's supposed to imply that she's in shock. Academy award winner Jennifer Lawrence, everyone.

When you think about it though, so much of Lawrence's acting is based around the weird things she does with her mouth. Get your head out of the gutter, I mean that sincerely. When you see Lawrence, on talk shows, on film, on the red carpet, or whatever, you just notice that she has an amazing expressiveness that is, in part, due to the remarkable elasticity of her mouth. With Katniss, a usually stoic heroine, the mouth agape thing is about as expressive as we get with her, bar the occasional "omg the Capitol is ruining my life" freak out. With someone like the perpetually hysterical nervous-breakdown-in-a-black-dress Tiffany Maxwell, it's like, a whooooole different thing. Really, the mouth brought home that Oscar. It deserves all the awards.

To further exhibit the mouth's impressive range, here's extensive documentation of the best moments in Jennifer Lawrence's mouth's young career.

13. The mouth possessing all the graceful poise of an oscar nominee

14. The mouth about five seconds away from smacking a bitch

15. The mouth on the verge of tears because being a housewife is hard stuff
