When nominees for Best Performance by a Female Actor in Motion picture-musical or Comedy were announced Lawrence was seen mouthing, “If I don’t win, I’m leaving.” Minutes later, Emma Stone was announced as the winner and Lawrence cheered the loudest for the fellow actress and threw her hands in the air.

Lawrence was also caught saying ‘Mother!’ as she cheered for her fellow actress and friend. Lawrence wasn’t the only one whose reaction was captured but Taylor Swift’s reaction to Stone’s win was also caught and it was similar to No Hard Feelings’ actress. Swift also hooted and hollered while she kept clapping for the actress who was accepting the award. Stone while accepting the award said via ET,

“I see this as a rom-com, in the sense that Bella falls in life itself, rather than a person. She accepts the good and the bad in equal measure—all of it is important.”

Stone went on to thank her husband Dave McCary in her acceptance speech along with thanking the cast and crew of Poor Things. She was nominated alongside Natalie Portman for May December, Alma Pöysti for Fallen Leaves, Margot Robbie for Barbie, and Fantasia Barrino for The Color Purple apart from Lawrence.
