Jennifer Lawrence wins Best Actress Golden Globe Award for ‘Silver Lining Playbook’
Jennifer Lawrence could hardly contain her excitement as she took the stage to accept the award for Best Actress in a Motion Picture Comedy or Musical at the Golden Globes on Sunday, Jan. 13.
“I beat Meryl!” Lawrence exclaimed as she took the stage, referring to fellow nominee Meryl Streep, who was up for the romantic dramedy Hope Springs. The off-the-cuff quip was meant as a joke, but it earned only a handful of chuckles from the audience.
What is being described as a “sweet speech” as the “X-Men: First Class” star praised co-star Bradley Cooper and expressed her gratitude toward everyone who had helped get her to that point.
“You’re incredible, and you make me better every single day,” she told Cooper. Then, addressing Harvey Weinstein, she said, “Harvey, thank you for killing whomever you had to kill to get me up here today.”
