[post_page_title]She beat Meryl[/post_page_title]
We all remember that moment in 2013, when Jennifer Lawrence won her very first Golden Globe, thanks to her unforgettable speech. Jen was given her Globe and started by saying “I beat Meryl!” and of course – got some pretty bad backlash from people who thought she hated the esteemed actress.

Putting aside that she really did beat Meryl Streep, and that she just seemed really excited, she was actually making a reference to the iconic film First Wives Club – one that most people just didn’t get. To this Jen responded during an interview, that it’s never a good thing for her to improvise.
