BEVERLY HILLS, Calif.\u2014Jennifer Lawrence continued her Golden Globes hot streak by winning best actress in a motion picture comedy on Sunday for her portrayal of Miracle Mop inventor Joy Mangano in \u201cJoy.\u201d<\/p>\n
This is her third Golden Globe win for a performance in a David O. Russell movie. She previously won a supporting award for \u201cAmerican Hustle\u201d and for her leading role in \u201cSilver Linings Playbook,\u201d and the trend was not lost on Lawrence.<\/p>\n
\u201cEvery time I’m up here is because of you,\u201d Lawrence said in her acceptance speech, which focused mainly on Russell.<\/p>\n
\u201cThank you for teaching me so much, professionally, personally,\u201d Lawrence continued. \u201cI want us to be buried next to each other. I really do.\u201d<\/p>\n
Lawrence was up against nominees Lily Tomlin (\u201cGrandma\u201d), Melissa McCarthy (\u201cSpy\u201d), Maggie Smith (\u201cThe Lady in the Van\u201d) and her friend Amy Schumer (\u201cTrainwreck\u201d) in the category.<\/p>\n
Lawrence and Schumer’s friendship has become the stuff of pop culture legend. The two have vacationed together, are co-writing a movie, and even co-presented on stage at the awards on Sunday night.<\/p>\n
Unlike the best actress drama category, the comedy category is not expected to help predict eventual Oscar nominees, save for Lawrence. Notably, though, Lawrence did not receive a Screen Actors Guild nomination for \u201cJoy.\u201d<\/p>\n
Last year Amy Adams won for her role as the painter Margaret Keane in \u201cBig Eyes.\u201d She was not nominated for an Oscar.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
