“One thing happened at the Globes that I need to clarify. During my acceptance speech, I said ‘I beat Meryl,’ which is a quote from the movie The First Wives Club. Some people took that as me trash-talking Meryl Streep, which is crazy,” Lawrence said in her opening monologue.
“Jessica Chastain? More like Jessica Chast-ain’t winning no Oscar on my watch,” she quipped. Continuing on to Naomi Watts, she said, “You were in The Impossible. You know what else is impossible? You beating me on Oscar night.”
Next in line was nine-year-old Quvenzhane Wallis. “You think you can beat me? Whatchu talkin’ bout, Wallis?,” she joked, according to usmagazine.com. “Also, the alphabet called, they want their letters back.” She finished off with a take at Emmanuelle Riva, “An 85-year-old French lady. Yeah, I think I can take you.”

I can’t say I liked how she put down the other Oscar nominees. Other than that, I liked the show even if the skits were poorly written. I was working late at DISH the night that she was hosting, so I didn’t get to see her live. I programmed my DISH Hopper DVR to automatically record SNL for me, so I wasn’t out of the loop completely. I have a few seasons of SNL on my DVR since it holds about 2000 hours of shows and movies, so it’s nice that I don’t have to worry about space.
