Is it safe to say Jennifer Lawrence is the best actress under 30?

Most successful, yes. Best? Hell no.

Saoirse Ronan is better. Chloe Moretz is better. Mia Wasikowska is better. Imogen Poots is better. Juno Temple is better. Elizabeth Olsen is better. Hell, Kristen Stewart in The Cake Eaters/The Yellow Handkerchief is better.

I would put Jennifer Lawrence's performance in Winter's Bone above every last performance by every one of those actresses you mentioned.
They are all good actresses though except for Kristen Stewart who has never delivered a decent performance in her entire career.

i wasn't a big fan of this chick until last night. she's effortlessly likable, and has gotten more attractive to me.

I doubt you've watched much those actresses have done. Ronan in Atonement alone stomps on Lawrence's entire career. Add "I Could Never Be Your Woman" and it's a wrap.

Have you seen The Cake Eaters, or do you think Kristen Stewart is just Twilight and Adventureland?

Saw Cake Eaters, she did a Cousin Jerri from Facts of Life impression...didn't move me at all. I am not a fan of her,no matter what role she plays there is always a certain deadness in her eyes that irks me.
And Ronan was good in Atonement (I think she is a really good actress actually) but Vanessa Redgrave was the standout of the three Brionys in that film.

To me Lawrence has an ability to bring a certain level of rawness to her performances that the other actresses you mentioned don't have and I like that about her.

Dakota Fanning went toe-to-toe with the best and held her own; and stole scenes.
