Jennifer Lawrence‘s sense of humor has always been one of her standouts. Her latest movie had her star in the raunchy comedy No Hard Feelings, in which she got nominated for her humorous performance. At the 81st Golden Globes, Jennifer Lawrence made a sneaky yet hilarious “threat” joke directly at the camera, and it’s going viral.
After the 2024 Golden Globes host Jo Koy bombed his opening monologue, A-list attendees and people watching at home needed something to laugh at. X users found relief in Golden Globe nominee Jennifer Lawrence as she made a sneaky joke. When the nominees for Best Actress in a Musical or Comedy were being announced, the Silver Linings Playbook actress mouthed to the camera, “If I don’t win, I’m leaving.” This joke sent social media users into a frenzy, sharing very positive reactions. One user read our minds and spoke the truth about the Oscar winner.
The Don’t Look Up actress always has her work cut out for her, invoking many emotions in her audience. Another X user had a suggestion involving the Kentucky native for the next Golden Globes that I’m completely all for.
It’s hard not to agree with that. Humor tends to shine in her off-camera persona based on interviews. I’d like to believe she’d come up with something really clever to deliver to audiences. Plus, we’ve never seen her as a host before, allowing JLaw fans to come pouring in viewership numbers. Then, there was a social media user who made a sweet discovery about the 33-year-old star.
Who Won Best Actress in a Musical or Comedy at the Golden Globes?
Emma Stone made it onto the 2024 Golden Globe Awards winner list for her performance in Poor Things. But we didn’t have to worry about Jennifer Lawrence getting up and leaving. When she heard Emma Stone’s name, an X video showed she yelled with joy and got up from her chair to applaud the winner. As the Easy A actress got onto the stage, Lawrence was still smiling, almost on the verge of tears.
It turns out that Jennifer Lawrence and Emma Stone have been good friends for years. In a Vanity Fair cover story back in 2016, this friendship started with the help of actor Woody Harrelson. He first worked with Stone during Zombieland and then Lawrence afterward for The Hunger Games movies. After playing a friendship cupid, trading his costar’s number, a friendship blossomed between the two ladies.
“[Stone] texted me that she got my number from Woody,” said Lawrence. “I replied, ‘Fuck off!’ And we’ve been really good friends ever since.”
Based on how viral Jennifer Lawrence’s sneaky Golden Globes joke was, it looks like it was one of the night’s highlights. Fans appeared to be grateful this talented actress was able to bring in her own original brand of humor and turn it into a memorable night.
