J-Law’s hilariously candid Oscars moment

THE ceremony hadn’t even started when photographers caught Jennifer Lawrence really letting her hair down inside the auditorium.

TODAY’S Academy Awards ceremony hadn’t even started when Jennifer Lawrence provided one of the most entertaining behind-the-scenes moments.

Candid pictures from inside the Dolby Theatre show Lawrence, 27, glass of white wine in hand as she yanked up her designer dress and clambered over the auditorium seats:

Lawrence managed to make the manoeuvre without spilling a drop or taking a tumble — quite a feat for the star, who is famed for having had a few clumsy moments at past Oscars.

There had been rumours that she staged her fall while taking to the stage at the 85th Oscars to accept her Best Actress award for Silver Linings Playbook — rumours which Lawrence herself refuted in an interview with Howard Stern last week.

“I would give anything to be able to go back and redo that moment. The fall startled me and made me forget my speech and made me forget to thank important people,” she said.

“It was a big moment, I might not ever get up there again, and I didn’t thank [Silver Linings Playbook director] David O. Russell when I wouldn’t have a career if it weren’t for him. I didn’t thank anyone from the movie — I wished a random person happy birthday, then stumbled off.”

Not helping her case was the fact Lawrence fell again at the following year’s awards, this time tripping on a traffic cone as she approached the red carpet.

“Everything would’ve been fine if I didn’t fall on that goddamn traffic cone, because it immediately looked like it was my schtick,” she said.
