NO ONE can forget the moment she fell on the stairs as she collected her award, so no doubt Jennifer Lawrence is going to choose her dress wisely for this year’s Oscars. And now, her attire for the 86th Academy Awards is even more important as today it was revealed that she is in the running to win her second gold statue.

The 23-year-old actress has been nominated in the category for Best Supporting Actress for her role as Rosalyn Rosenfeld in the hit film American Hustle.

Jennifer, who won the Golden Globe for the same role last Sunday, faces stiff competition in the Best Supporting Actress but there’s a strong chance she could be taking home her second Oscar. Going up against her is Sally Hawkins for her role in Blue Jasmine, Lupita Nyong’o for her performance in 12 Years a Slave, Nebraska’s June Squibb and last but not least, Julia Roberts for her role in August: Osage County.

Perhaps Jennifer will choose a dress that is much easier to walk in this time round after her voluminous strapless Dior Haute Couture gown caused her to trip up as she took to the stage.

The Kentucky-born star won the prestigious award for her role as Tiffany Maxwell in Silver Linings Playbook – a part that almost went to Anne Hathaway, it’s been revealed.
