In 2013, Jennifer Lawrence achieved a feat that only Tom Hanks had done previously.

This has been done lots of times. Russel Crowe in Gladiator, Marlon Brando in The Godfather, Charlton Heston in Ben Hur etc. etc.

"Only Tom Hanks had done before"?

What on earth are you talking about? This happens literally all the damn time.

Didn't Cillian Murphy just do this with Oppenheimer?

I pretty sure Tom Hanks hasn't won the academy award for best actress

That's a pointlessly specific achievement though

Dang, JLaw really rocked it in 2013, huh? Catching Fire was everywhere, and her performance in Silver Linings Playbook was top-notch. I'm not sure if anyone can pull off the same feat, but if anyone's got a shot, my money's on Margot Robbie. She's been killing it lately!

I think Timothy Chalamet might manage it, dude has that mix of box office draw and actual acting chops while being young enough to want to do multiple movies a year and get his face out there.

Also could see a world where a Dune movie he's in takes so long in post because of effects he's able to release something Oscar baity in the same window.

Kramer vs Kramer was the highest grossing film of the year and Dustin Hoffman won for that movie.

The Godfather #1 Brando Won

Cuckoo’s Nest #2 Nicholson and Fletcher won

Rain Man was #4 in 1989 and Hoffman won for that as well.

Silence of the Lambs was #4 and swept the Oscar’s

Gladiator #3 Crowe won

And she was also the first woman to get a leading role in an action movie...

Mid as fuck but you could accomplish a lot in 2013 if you were close with Harvey Weinstein

This has more to do with being in the right place at the right time than anything else. Can't win best actor without an exceptional script, can't be a huge box office success without production value and money backing you up. Plenty of actors are talented enough.

Julia Roberts arguably had an even more impressive run between 1999 and 2000. In a ten month span she appeared in Notting Hill ($368 million worldwide), Runaway Bride ($309 million) and Erin Brokovich ($256 million). She won the Oscar for Erin Brokovich. I say more impressive because these movies were fully sold on Roberts's stardom (the first two movies also had notable co-stars who were crucial of course).

That said some examples I can think of Julie Andrews won the Oscar for Mary Poppins (1964) which was the highest grossing film of the year and then she starred in Sound of Music which released the following year and became the highest grossing movie of all time at the time.

Thinking about it, I've never seen Tom Hanks cornhole.

But how about that she also licked Weinstein’s taint? Are we forgetting that.. cool.
