It is Brie Larson’s year: Jennifer Lawrence

“I think this is Brie Larson’s year, it should be. But [winning] would be very exciting. I am so excited, I’m not nervous,” Lawrence said.

“Joy” sees the actress reunite with past co-stars Bradley Cooper and Robert De Niro and director David O Russell and she feels much “safer” working with people she’s collaborated with before.

“I definitely feel safer, we can hit the ground running. Bradley and I feel very safe when we’re acting together, and it’s the same with Bob, our dynamic is great and he’s always been very protective and paternal.”

The actress, however, said it was unusual to co-star with Cooper without him playing her love interest.

“This is a new dynamic for Bradley and I that we haven’t done before – allies in commerce and adversaries in commerce.”
