The 75th Golden Globe Awards officially kick awards season, but this year, the red carpet may create as much conversation as the honors handed out during the ceremony itself._  by [Raisa Bruner](https://time.com/author/raisa-bruner/)  ## Raisa Bruner Jan 9, 2018 4:19 PM UTC  by [Raisa Bruner](https://time.com/author/raisa-bruner/)  ## Raisa Bruner Jan 9, 2018 4:19 PM UTC Hot tip: being friends with [_Battle of the Sexes_ ](http://time.com/4951187/battle-of-the-sexes-billie-jean-king/)star Emma Stone has its perks, but be prepared for curveballs. That’s what happened to Jennifer Lawrence on Sunday night. According to a video the [_mother!_](http://time.com/4951193/darren-aronofsky-mother-director/) actress shared on her Facebook, Lawrence had planned on being Stone’s plus-one to some Golden Globes afterparties in L.A. But even the best-laid plans can, of course, go awry. “You had told me that you wanted me to be your date to the afterparties,” Lawrence explained to an off-camera Stone, looking (and sounding) dejected and resigned to her fate. “So I got us tickets to some afterparties, I booked a car, and I was halfway through glam when you told me that you didn’t want to go. You just wanted to come over to my house. So I sent my hair and makeup team home. And now this is what I look like.” Lawrence then turns to the camera, revealing a face half done in smoky eye makeup — and half perfectly bare, to which both women can only laugh. “You’re the best,” Stone insists. Looks like the duo ended up skipping those afterparties for a much more relaxed evening at home, proving once again that they’re one of [Hollywood’s best friendship pairs](http://time.com/5088565/jennifer-lawrence-emma-stone/). ## Transcript [ MUSIC ] [ MUSIC ] [ MUSIC ] So empowering, right? I just think that this is such a bold statement for women who work in Hollywood to make, in solidarity with women across the world. And a person like me, I stand and represent survivors, and so, I know that so many women on this carpet are survivors, and so it just really makes me feel Wonderful.
