Ky. Shelter Supports Oscar Nominee

Oscar-nominated actress Jennifer Lawrence has been a supporter of a Louisville home for abused and homeless children, and some of its residents have made a movie to support her.

The 20-year-old actress is nominated for best actress for her role in “Winter’s Bone.” She plays a 17-year-old who overcomes an abusive environment to keep her younger brother and sister safe.

Bellewood Home for Children in Lawrence’s hometown of Louisville said in a statement that Lawrence has been a “financial and inspirational supporter” of the facility and supports the Bellewood Youth Film Festival, which encourages young people to express themselves through filmmaking.

To return the support, some of the children at Bellewood appeared in a video posted on the Internet this week and will hold an Oscar night party on Sunday to root for Lawrence.
