Watch the MTV Promo That Launched Jennifer Lawrence's Career

At least now we know -- the best thing to come out of MTV's obnoxious, greed-advocating reality TV show "My Super Sweet Sixteen" is the birth of Jennifer Lawrence's acting career.

The two-time Oscar nominee and star of Silver Linings Playbook was once a promo gal for MTV. She starred in the commercial as a spoiled blonde teenager who gets enraged when a disco ball smashes her cake (who wouldn't?).

And while her humble roots barely resemble the butt-kicking archer Katniss Everdeen who we've all grown to love in The Hunger Games, J-Law hasn't forgotten where she got her a start.

When she took home a Screen Actor's Guild award Sunday night, her first shout out was to MTV.

"I earned my SAG card when I was 14; I did an MTV promo for 'My Super Sweet 16,'" she said in her acceptance speech. "And I remember getting it in the mail and it being the best day in my entire life, because it officially made me a professional actor."

Looks like there's still hope for J-Woww's Oscar aspirations.
