Other than [climbing over chairs holding a glass of wine](http://time.com/5185078/jennifer-lawrence-oscars-2018-wine-chair/), J-Law took a moment to laugh at her best friend and seat-neighbor Emma Stone during [Jimmy Kimmel’s opening monologue](http://time.com/5184962/jimmy-kimmel-opening-monologue-oscars-2018/). Kimmel’s speech began by making fun of [last year’s Best Picture mix-up](http://time.com/4753723/faye-dunaway-oscar-best-picture/) when _La La Land_ was called instead of _Moonlight_. “This year, when you hear your name called, don’t get up right away. Just give us a minute. We don’t want another thing,”[ he said](https://www.nytimes.com/2018/03/04/movies/jimmy-kimmel-oscars-monologue.html). Kimmel’s inevitable mention of the “unfortunate” mistake caused Lawrence to point at Stone, who appeared to be stifling a laugh. This moment proved to be another cornerstone in Lawrence and Stone’s epic friendship, and the Internet fully agreed. > [](https://twitter.com/KATNlSSLAWRENCE/status/970467184781774848) > [](https://twitter.com/badpostjIaw/status/970501396608045056) > [](https://twitter.com/accessonline/status/970469454319505408) > [](https://twitter.com/glamourmag/status/970468429202419713) > [](https://twitter.com/Killursoulmate/status/970465203719757824) > [](https://twitter.com/manchelster/status/970465111700852737) > [](https://twitter.com/TVGuide/status/970465798937501696) Lawrence presented the Oscar for Best Actress alongside Jodie Foster. Stone [made a statement during her Best Director announcement](http://time.com/5185688/oscars-2018-emma-stone-best-director-burn/) when she said, “These four men and Greta Gerwig created their own masterpieces this year.” ## Transcript For me.
