Not a perfect comparison because you must have objective talent in sports to draw crowds, athletes can't get by on being "likable" like some actors can.

Somewhat disagree since baseball talent is largely quantifiable by statistics. Acting is not at all.
Regardless, I want to be clear I am not on m4's side with this. She deserves the money because she is a big reason for her movies making a lot of money.
So when I was looking for [the character] Daisy, I could have seen Jennifer Lawrence doing a good job with the role. I’m a very big fan of hers. I think she could end up being another little Bette Davis if she keeps on going the way she’s going. I think her work with David O. Russell is very reminiscent of William Wyler and Bette Davis’s
I have a lot of admiration for Lawrence, but this whole comparison with the likes of Blanchett, Streep and now Bette Davis is just bizarre to me. I understand if people call her the new Kidman or perhaps the new Winslet. But let's not get ahead of ourselves.£
