The antics, were hailed as “peak J Law” by Twitter users.
It is by no means the first time Lawrence has gained attention for her actions at the Oscars. In 2013 she tripped up while attempting to walk to the stage to collect Best Actress for her role in Silver Linings Playbook.
Lawrence, who has starred in X-Men and American Hustle , then tripped over a cone on the red carpet before she being helped up by a security guard the following year.
“I did trip over a cone, I'm not safe," she said afterwards.
