“She’s been beating me for decades”: Jennifer Lawrence playfully roasts Emma Stone after SAG nomination

Everyone is aware of the supportive yet teasing friendship that Oscar-winning actresses Jennifer Lawrence and Emma Stone have shared, but if not, this new playful interaction between the two will definitely cement that.

Jennifer Lawrence just shared the most recent texts she shared with Stone on the morning of the Screen Actors Guild nominations announcement. According to the announcements, Lawrence did not receive a nod while Emma was nominated for her performance in Bugonia.

Jennifer shared during an interview with Josh Horowitz at the 92NY on Wednesday,

"We’re in a group chat and she got nominated for a SAG today and I did not. I wrote ‘WHAT!’ and all her friends were like ‘Congratulations Emma’ and I just do a sad face.”

She playfully added,

"Every time she tries to talk today, I’m like ‘Why are you not saying sorry. She’s been beating me for decades but it’s an honor.”

Clearly, Jennifer is quite proud of her friend, especially since in 2024, when Emma Stone won the Best Actress award for Poor Things, the award was handed to her by the Hunger Games actress, though the presenter herself was Michelle Yeoh. In fact, the whole moment was orchestrated by Yeoh, who admired their friendship and saw a resemblance to her own friendship with Jamie Lee Curtis.

Jennifer Lawrence and Emma Stone's Friendship

Though the two have never actively competed with each other, they are often pitted against one another. This all started in a 2017 roundtable, when Jen stated she wanted Emma's role in the 2010 film Olive Pendergast.

"I wanted it so bad," she stated, to which Emma retorted, "Well, guess what? You didn't get it. You didn't get it because you suck!"

Over the year, the two have had quite a few interactions like this, but have always been supportive of each other. Jennifer, who seems more brazen of the two, recounted in a 2016 interview that Emma, "texted me that she got my number from Woody. I replied, 'F--- off!' And we've been really good friends ever since."

While in the same Vanity Fair interview, Jennifer Lawrence expressed,

"If I wasn't her biggest fan, I would've Tonya Harding'd her in the kneecaps."

This year, for the SAG awards, Emma Stone got nominated for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Leading Role, for her role in Yorgos Lanthimos’ darkly comic sci-fi drama, while Jennifer Lawrence's role in Die My Love, which is a psychological drama based on Ariana Harwicz’s novel, did not fare well for her.
