Jennifer Lawrence took home the Golden Globe for Best Actress in a Musical or Comedy at the Globes tonight!
Jennifer looked radiant on the red carpet in Dior Haute Couture despite battling the flu. She told Ryan Seacrest, "I don't want to shake your hand, I have the flu. I'm sorry" She said of her dress, "It's Dior Haute Couture. I don't really know what 'haute' means but I had to say it."
Kristen Wiig and Will Ferrell hilariously presented the award for Best Actress, calling Jen "JLaw."
Jen's acceptance speech was typically funny and sweet. She looked at her award and said, "What does it say? I beat Meryl!" She also said of Harvey Weinstein, co-chair of The Weinstein Company who produced Silver Linings, "Harvey, thank you for killing whoever you had to kill to get me up here today."
After the awards, Jen spoke in the press room about winning the award. The first thing she did was look at the room full of press and say, "What do I do?!"
From her pressroom interview:
On her Golden Globe feelings: "So confused and so happy. Really excited."
What made her connect with the character: "Probably my love for the character, my love for David [O'Russell], and his amazing script"
Is there a song that sets you off like "My Cherie Amour" in the film? "'Come on Baby Light my Fire.' I was losing at tennis and throwing a total tantrum, and someone drove by playing that song so every time I hear that song I want to throw a tennis racket."
On feelings about working with Bradley Cooper and the Oscar nod: "I feel very good about both those things. Bradley is an amazing actor, an amazing actor to work with and an amazing person with incredible instincts. I feel quite good about Oscar nod. It feels quite wonderful."
On feelings toward the nickname J Law: "That's been going on for years. My, like, 7th grade teacher started say J Law, so to hear Will Ferrell say that is pretty incredible. I'll be getting lots of texts about that!"
On thinking about the Oscars: "That gives me a lot of anxiety, so no. I do think about them. I've been thinking about everyone in the cast since we were shooting. Me and the Oscars together gives me lots of anxiety."
On the dress: "The dress is Dior Haute Couture. I had about 40 people put me into it — no, three. I've never been good at walking in heels."
On working with Robert DeNiro: "Bob is wonderful to work with. He's a really wonderful giving actor. With him I could see his character turning around to Tiffany. He's an ideal actor to work off of. He's so giving."
On taking the part: "Well I was wrong for the part. I was way too young, but I guess we turned that around. (laughs) We fixed it in post."
Congratulations Jennifer! We are so proud of you!
