She's proving that she's America's "It Girl" as The Hunger Games: Mockingjay star Jennifer Lawrence has topped the list of the highest-earning actors in Hollywood. Forbes has released its annual list of the highest-grossing actors for 2014, and it seems the mockingjay has flown right to the top. At just 24, the actress has solidified herself as a force to be reckoned with, not only winning an Academy Award but also starring in two blockbusters this year.

According to Forbes, it was Lawrence's roles in X-Men: Days of Future Past and The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1, which made $1.4 billion worldwide, that pushed her into the top spot.

Other names that made the list, according to E! News, include Chris Pratt, Scarlett Johansson, Mark Wahlberg, and Chris Evans, among others.

Pratt earned the runner-up position with his roles in films like Guardians of the Galaxy and The Lego Movie, which collectively brought the breakout star $1.2 billion at the global box office, solidifying himself in the No. 2 spot.

But Scarlett Johansson gave Pratt a run for his money, as her films, including Captain AmericaLucy and Under the Skin, brought in $1.18 billion, causing her to almost edge Chris out of the second-place spot.

Mark Wahlberg and Chris Evans rounded out the top five as their respective movies, Transformers: Age of Extinction and Captain America, brought in big bucks for each. Transformers made $1 billion at the box office, while Captain America raked in $801 million.
