Jennifer Lawrence got a lot of stick for saying "Oh, what does it say? 'I beat Meryl!'" when she picked up her Golden Globe for Silver Linings Playbook, so how satisfying must it have been to tell everyone it was actually a film quote.
"It's never a good idea for me to wing it, but it was a quote from First Wives Club!" the actress said on 'Late Night with David Letterman' Tuesday night. "[In the movie] Bette Midler was talking about a Globe -- I can't believe nobody has ever done it before -- where she says, 'Look what it says, it says I beat Meryl.'" She went on to say, "First of all, it's Meryl Streep. You can't offend Meryl Streep. And then all of the sudden I hate Meryl Streep. Is that what this turned into? I don't like Meryl Streep? As if I had my eyes on getting that girl forever and I was like, 'Finally! I knew it would happen one day!'"
Silver Linings has been a welcome surprise amongst this year's Oscar contenders. And has Lawrence heard from Streep? "No, I don't know if I want to. I'm nervous. She doesn't care. I wanted to make a public statement and say, 'Hey idiots. It's a quote from a movie," she said, "And it's Meryl Streep. God I wonder what Twitter's going to say now."
