Instead of disappointment or sadness, Lawrence’s face lit up with pure joy. She erupted in cheers, clapping enthusiastically and jumping out of her seat to embrace Stone as she made her way to the stage.
Lots of internet users found the incident refreshing and heartwarming. It showed how important it is for women to be friends in a competitive industry. Some even contrasted it with the often-portrayed narrative of rivalry between female celebrities.
This instance goes beyond a mere awards show moment. It speaks volumes about the strong bond between Lawrence and Stone, who have been friends for over a decade.
Their friendship began when they were introduced by a mutual co-star, Woody Harrelson. Initially, they communicated through text messages for about a year before meeting in person. They have supported each other in their professional and personal lives. For example, Stone comforted Lawrence after a memorable night at an Adele concert.
They also have a different view on professional rivalry. Stone initially felt jealous but later realized that there was space for everyone. They highlight how rare it is to find this kind of understanding in an industry that often pits actresses against each other.
