Jennifer Lawrence may not have made history as the first actress to win back-to-back Oscars, but she will certainly go down in history as the actress who fell at the Oscars two years in a row.

While stepping onto the red carpet, Lawrence was waving to fans when she tripped over an orange traffic cone. She fell forward, grabbing onto a member of her entourage for balance before getting herself back up with some help from her boyfriend Nicholas Hoult. Unfortunately, the incident was caught on camera by E! News and other outlets, and she was asked about it during a majority of her red carpet interviews.
“I tripped on a cone…Shouldn’t have those laying around. I’m the same color as a cone, you can’t do that,” Lawrence joked to CNN’s Piers Morgan.
Lawrence fell into America’s hearts last year when she fell on her way to the Oscars stage to accept her Oscar for Best Actress, and her most recent
Ellen DeGeneres took advantage of Lawrence’s tumble, making fun of her in the opening monologue, citing Lawrence’s embarrassing fall last year and then outing her red carpet trip to the audience.
“Jennifer, by the way, I am not going to bring up when you… last year, you know… And, you know the thing when you fell out of the car tonight? No one needs to know that, I’m not going to mention that,” Ellen joked as Lawrence laughed from the first row.
“If you win tonight, I think we should bring you the Oscar,” Ellen added.
Ellen didn’t stop there. Later, she posted a photo to her official Instagram page of the stunning actress backstage with the caption, “A rare photo of Jennifer Lawrence standing up.”
Lawrence has made a name for herself as a goofy, down to earth, and, yes, clumsy, young actress and she more than lived up to her reputation at the 2014 Academy Awards, hiding behind an Oscar statue on the red carpet and gamely taking part in Ellen’s impromptu pizza party.
Backstage, Lawrence also joked with Best Supporting Actress winner Lupita Nyong’o. The two actresses were photographed playfully fighting for the golden statue.
