Waxman](https://time.com/author/olivia-b-waxman/)  ## Olivia B. Waxman Staff Writer Nov 2, 2015 7:23 PM UTC While it is well-documented [on Instagram](http://time.com/3978592/amy-schumer-jennifer-lawrence-jetski/) that comedian Amy Schumer is friends with Oscar-winning actress Jennifer Lawrence, most stargazers probably didn’t know that the funny-woman and singer Selena Gomez also “love” each other. At the Hollywood Film Awards Sunday night, the pop artist sang the Comedy Central star’s praises as Schumer accepted the Hollywood Comedy Award for her 2015 movie _Trainwreck_. Gomez thanked the funny-woman for “inspiring me not to take myself too seriously when I’ve sat on my couch endlessly, kind of depressed about certain things. You’ve constantly made me feel like I’m a bad-a\*\* even though most of the time I’m not.” She added, “I’m really happy that clearly Jennifer Lawrence wasn’t able to do this tonight, because I love you!” Schumer, [on Instagram](https://instagram.com/p/9ksKhNKUPc/), said she “loved” Gomez back and called her an “angel.” No word on whether these comments have sparked a contest to see who can be a better friend to Schumer — [“J-Law”](http://time.com/4043984/amy-schumer-emmy-jennifer-lawrence/) or Gomez. Now that would make a good _Inside Amy Schumer_ sketch! ### See The Most Surprising Celebrity Friendships  Prince William and the actor Eddie Redmayne went to posh British school Eton together — and were even in the same campus club together. Getty Images (2)  Kirsten Gillibrand and Connie Britton did a summer study program in Beijing together while they were undergrads at Dartmouth. Getty Images (2)  The triple crown: Dustin Hoffman, Robert Duvall and Gene Hackman. In the late 1950s, Hackman helped Hoffman find a place to stay in New York, and his new roommate was Duvall. Getty Images (3)  Well, at least they used to be friends — Jon Stewart and Anthony Weiner lived together after college, but the politician has blamed the satirist for making politics more cynical. Getty Images (2)  Tommy Lee Jones and Al Gore were roommates at Harvard. Tina Fineberg—AP  Another high-school pair: Zach Braff and Lauryn Hill were schoolmates in New Jersey; he's said that she was at his Bar Mitzvah. Getty Images (2)  A classic: Harper Lee and Truman Capote. The acclaimed authors were childhood pals in Monroeville, Ala., and rumors (since disproved) circulated for years that he had actually written 'To Kill a Mockingbird.' Getty Images (2)  David Duchovny and JFK Jr. went to middle school together in New York City; Duchovny told Howard Stern that the two once roomed together on a class trip. Getty Images (2)  Cameron Diaz and Snoop Dogg went to Long Beach Polytechnic High School together, and the actress has said that she probably bought drugs from the rapper at some point. Gary Gershoff—WireImage/Getty Images  Nicole Richie and Kim Kardashian were friends growing up — there's even proof on Instagram — but Paris Hilton sometimes got in the way. Pascal Le Segretain—Getty Images  The late, great actors Christopher Reeve and Robin WIlliams met as students at Juilliard. Frank Edwards—Fotos International/Getty Images  The idea of one-time party-scene stalwarts Drew Barrymore and Courtney Love as friends isn't so surprising...until you remember that when they became friends Barrymore was still of elementary-school age. Kevin Mazur—WireImage/Getty Images  Frances McDormand and Holly Hunter met at drama school and lived together. Jim Ruymen—AFP/Getty Images  Michael Douglas and Danny DeVito: another roommate pair for the ages. Walter Weissman—Corbis  One's known for being funny and one's known for being GOOPy, but in grade school Maya Rudolph and Gwyneth Paltrow were known as friends (and for their famous parents). Dana Edelson—NBC/Getty Images  More roomies! Judd Apatow and Adam Sandler lived together early in their careers. Jon Kopaloff—FilmMagic/Getty Images  It's not surprising that 'Office' co-stars John Krasinski and B.J. Novak are friends, but that they've been friends for so long: since little league. Dean Hendler—NBC/Getty Images  Ben Affleck. Matt Damon. Not actually surprising at all.
