Jennifer Lawrence has been applauded by viewers for her heartwarming reaction to Emma Stone winning at the 2024 Golden Globes.

The 33-year-old actress was nominated for "Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Motion Picture - Musical or Comedy" at this year's awards ceremony which took place on Sunday (January 7) night.

Other actresses in the category were Stone, 35, for her role in Poor Things, Fantasia Barrino in The Color Purple, Natalie Portman in May December, Alma Pöysti in Fallen Leaves, and Margot Robbie for Barbie.

Before the winner was announced, Lawrence looked at the camera and mouthed: "If I don’t win, I’m leaving," but when Stone's name was announced, the Hunger Games star couldn’t contain her excitement.

The Silver Linings Playbook actress star was unfazed by her loss in the category and instead directed her happiness to the La La Land actress. She immediately started screaming and throwing her hands in the air.

Fans shared the sweet moment on X (formerly known as Twitter) and took to the comment section to fawn over Lawrence's reaction.

"I love their friendship. Jennifer Lawrence’s reaction to Emma Stone winning was so great," one person reacted, while another shared: "Jennifer Lawrence reacting to #EmmaStone winning is EVERYTHING."

A third user stated: "That’s what women should do. Support each other," and a fourth user added: "Jennifer Lawrence threatening to leave if she lost and then immediately jumping up and screaming MOTHER when Emma Stone won I love her."

Stone and Lawrence have been friends for many years and owe their longstanding relationship to mutual costar Woody Harrelson, who worked with Stone in 2009's Zombieland and worked with Lawrence on the Hunger Games movies.

"[Stone] texted me that she got my number from Woody," the American Hustle actress told Vanity Fair in a 2016 cover story. "I replied, F*** off!' And we’ve been really good friends ever since."

The Easy A actress told the outlet that her ego initially went "nuts" over hanging out with Lawrence, sharing: "I was like, 'She’s so great and vibrant and talented. I’m screwed, I’ll never work again,'"

"Then I chilled the f*** out and remembered we’re completely different and there is room for everyone, even if it’s an industry that doesn’t really seem to support that idea up front," she continued.

"We both really do love each other and care about each other as people, beyond being actors. I support her completely when it comes to work and I feel the same from her, but I know we’d be friends even if we didn’t do the same job," Stone added.
