Jennifer Lawrence rocks. Yes, she does. Even after falling walking up the stairs to accept her Best Actress Oscar for Silver Linings Playbook, she barely missed a beat. Her acceptance speech began by thanking the audience for her standing ovation.

“You guys are just standing up because you feel bad that I fell and that’s really embarrassing – but thank you,” said newly minted Oscar winner Jennifer Lawrence. “Thank you to the Academy and thank you to the women this year. You were so magnificent and so inspiring, and not just those of you in my category. And it’s been so amazing getting to know you. You’ve been so nice and you’ve made this experience unforgettable.”
