What is an award season without Jennifer Lawrence?
What is a red carpet without her highly-anticipated dress reveals, her bubbly effervescence in
interviews, her falls on the way into the theater?
What is a show without her accidentally saying something off-script, yet totally relatable?
What is Oscar campaign season without her many, many talk show appearances, waxing poetic
on throw-up stories?
This year, we found out.
2017's award season was fully devoid of Lawrence.
She was completely absent from the entire thing, receiving neither nominations nor invitations
to present.
This wasn't anything personal, of course, but just a matter of schedule.
For one, she wasn't actually in a contender movie this year, as Passengers was, well,
Passengers.
And she has spent most of the first quarter of the year filming in various far-flung Eastern
European cities like Budapest.
It was expected that she wouldn't make any appearances, but that didn't keep most fans
(and we here at E! News) from hoping that she might pop us a surprise at at least one
of the award shows.
But she didn't, and the public was left to wonder just what they would do without JLaw's
very specific brand of zany humility.
But then Emma Stone stepped up big time.
It's always been clear that Stone is slightly Lawrencian in her manner.
They're both extremely talented and funny and gorgeous and all that, but the same could
be said for everyone we admire in Hollywood.
Being pretty and also funny isn't a rarity�for women, at least.
Men in Hollywood, well, you might be lagging behind a little.
But we digress: There's something so specific that Jennifer brings to award season, and
the fact that we found those same warm and fuzzy feelings in Emma was a welcome surprise.
They both seem to know that they're not curing cancer here: Jen's last Oscar was for a biopic
about mops, and Emma was representing a kicky movie about jazz music.
Compared to the more visceral and necessary stories told and exposed by the likes of their
counterparts (cough, Viola Davis and Naomie Harris, to name a few), a healthy dose of
perspective is welcome.
But in an award season rife with serious matter and stars who inspire us all, we can also
really appreciate watching someone we really, really want to get a beer with.
That was JLaw, and now, it seems it might be Emma, too.
thanks for watching.
