From John Cena announcing the award for Best Costume Design while completely nude and the Godzilla Minus One filmmakers accepting their golden statues for Best Visual Effects with their Godzilla toys to Emma Stone giving a tearful, gracious speech when she won Best Actress in a Leading Role. While the acceptance speech itself was amazing, the best part was the fact that Emma received the award from BFF Jennifer Lawrence!

Emma Stone and Jennifer Lawrence saw each other again at Adele's concert at the Wiltern in LA, but Jennifer went on to admit it's not a night she really wants to remember. “I don’t really stay out late. I’m kind of a bummer," Jennifer tells Harper's Bazaar. "When I do go out I don’t really stay out late. If I do stay out late and I’m partying hard, I will throw up...I don’t have the tolerance to black out; I just start puking.”
“Ask Emma Stone,” she continues. “It was the night we saw Adele in L.A. She just started rubbing my back. She was really sweet. I was like, ‘Get out of here. It’s so gross.'”

Either way, the besties brush it off with a laugh, the way all friends do!
