Thanks MTV! Jennifer Lawrence revealed she got her start in commercials for MTV's reality series My Super Sweet 16
Accepting her Best Female Actor in a Leading Role at Sunday evening's SAG Awards Jennifer revealed she has a brief stint as the face of MTV's Super Sweet 16.
'I want to thank MTV,' the Hunger Games star said during her speech.
'I remember getting in the mail and it being the best day in my entire life because it officially made me a professional actor, which put me in a category with all of you.'

Happy birthday to me: The then 14-year-old played spoilt girl Lisa
The actress became part of the SAG after landing the union role - and it was certainly a hilarious one.
The 14-year-old Jennifer, plays Lisa an overindulged girl who's Sweet 16 does not go to plan.
The blonde cherub face teen stared in two adverts for the network.
In the first Jennifer is carried on an opulent pink litter by a host of hunky men.

Before the fall: Lawrence's character is dropped in front of all the party goers
Wearing a green dress with a flower in her hair, Jennifer waves to her guests feeling like a princess before one of the porters buckles under the weight, dropping the birthday girl - much to everyone's horror.
In the second ad, Jennifer's character Lisa prepares to blow out the candles of a three tier cake surrounded by her family and friends.
Just as she does a giant mirror ball falls covering her, and her guests in icing.
Face for television: Lawrence had plenty of great comedy faces ready to go
Showing that even at 14 the Silver Linings Playbook star was already an outstanding actor with great comedic timing, Lawrence wails and pulls hilarious faces while covered in cake.
The commercial was Jennifer's first role after being spotted on the street by a talent scout, while on vacation in New York City with her mother.
'It wasn't creepy, he didn't ask to take me anywhere, he just wanted to take a picture,' Jennifer told the New York Daily News.
Making a wish? In just six years, Jennifer has gone from teen queen to the toast of Hollywood

'And then all these agencies started calling and then we just kind of went (to do cold readings) out of boredom. And then my poor mother, it was all I talked about, my obsession.'
That obsession of course landed Jennifer on the SAG stage on Sunday night were she look flawless - well almost flawless.
Initially the 22-year-old shone in a navy Christian Dior Haute Couture dress, Chopard jewels - which included a 38-carat diamond necklace and emerald-cut 6-carat diamond studs and a diamond ring, Roger Vivier clutch, and Jimmy Choo shoes.
However, the dress became her undoing - literally - ripping apart when she went to collect her award. Always the professional, Jennifer held the dress together and carried on.
