Jennifer Lawrence Jokingly Disses Her Oscars Competition On SNL

Jennifer Lawrence Jokes About Oscars Competition

After her First Wives Club quote-joke “I beat Meryl” Jennifer Lawrence doesn’t seem to censor her sense of humor it seems. The young actress with a Golden Globe and Oscar nominations under her belt went on to “trash talk” her Oscar competition.

I would never trash talk any of my nominees at the Golden Globes … but the Oscars are another story,

she joked.

The Hunger Games star said of her Oscars rival Jessica Chastain nominated for best actress for movie Zero Dark Thirty:

Look who it is. Jessica Chastain. More like, Jessica Chas-ain’t winning no Oscar on my watch!

Then Lawrence went on to perform in a variety of sketches and fulfill her hosting responsibilities at the SNL.

The “I beat Meryl” speech though got a star in trouble with people mistaking the joke for a real diss which Lawrence handled in a cool way saying she loved the iconic actress and admitted being “obsessed” with her.

Once I’m obsessed with somebody, I’m terrified of them instantly. I’m not scared of them — I’m scared of me and how I will react. Like, for instance, one time someone was introducing me to Bill Maher, and I saw Meryl Streep walk into the room, and I literally put my hand right in Bill Maher’s face and said, “Not now, Bill!” and I just stared at Meryl Streep.’

Asked if she reached out to Meryl Streep to clear out the situation the star said she’s too nervous but wanted to make a public statement along the lines: “Hey idiots, it’s a quote from a movie!”

It was so perfect and I said it and I had no idea Lindsay Lohan would take to the Twitterverse … Twitter is very upset.

The notorious Hollywood starlet took to the Twitter to express her love of Kristen Wiig and discontent with Lawrence saying: “‘No1 should ever mess with a legend such as Meryl Streep.”
