Jennifer Lawrence
Geek Impact: By proving that a female-driven action franchise could be a box office behemoth, The Hunger Games star may have finally paved the way for other wonder women to follow in her footsteps. Plus, hers was the first arrow shot in making archery — once the nerdiest of P.E. pastimes — the hottest sport of the year.
Geek Cred: True, Lawrence may look like a cheerleader, but you only need to watch a couple minutes of her on a late-night talk show to realize that at heart she's a drama club spaz — in the best way possible. (To wit, to Letterman: ''I get really hyper, so then I go on interviews and I'm like, 'I'm a Chihuahua! I'm shaking and peeing.' And then afterwards I'm like, 'I just talked about peeing on the red carpet.' It's just not a situation for a normal person!''). —Adam B. Vary
