Of course, Lawrence deserved the award and the crowd knew that too. While Lawrence was on stage before the microphone for her speech, the crowd gave a standing ovation with a round of applause. However, the actor joked saying that the standing ovation was for the fall, not her performance on screen.“You guys are just standing up because you feel bad that I fell — it’s really embarrassing. This is nuts!”Lawrence said. Later, appearing on theAbsolutely Notpodcast, the actor shared her humiliating experience:
“It was so devastating because it was this horrific humiliation to me. I don’t know if I’ll ever have a chance to give a speech like that again, so it didn’t feel good for me not to have a speech.”
Further, many fans and haters have called her Oscar fall fake and that was even more upsetting for the star. TheRed Sparrowstar eventually moved on but it was a bruise that only time would heal.
