Emma Stone<\/strong><\/a> and Jennifer Lawrence<\/strong><\/a> have shared a long and close friendship. After J. Law got to hand her pal her second Best Actress Oscar, fans want to know more about their history as BFFs.<\/p>\n Jennifer was in the running for the lead in 2010\u2019s Easy A<\/em>, which went to Emma. The Poor Things<\/em> star later told Vanity Fai<\/em>r she was so impressed with Jennifer\u2019s talent.<\/p>\n \u201cShe may not even know this, but there was definitely a time early on when I was like, \u2018Oh hey my ego is going nuts, she\u2019s so great and vibrant and talented, I\u2019m screwed, I\u2019ll never work again,\u2019\u201d Emma told the publication.<\/p>\n The pair were friends via text for more than a year before finally meeting in person. During a joint video for W<\/em> magazine<\/a> in 2018, the ladies told the unusual story of how they connected.<\/p>\n \u201cWe both had the same stalker. His name was John the Orchestra Guy. He would \u2018accidentally\u2019 text us,\u201d Jennifer began. Emma said, \u201cHe wasn\u2019t really a stalker. He was this guy who had a lot of people\u2019s numbers. He must\u2019ve worked at a studio or as an agent\u2019s assistant or something.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cHe texted me and said, \u2018Hey, Alex\u2019 \u2014 or he makes up a name. \u2018I\u2019m running late on my way to the sound stage. Can you warm up the orchestra for me? Make sure the orchestra\u2019s warmed up for me.\u2019 It was always about the orchestra. \u2018Can you text me back and let me know you get this? John,’\u201d Emma recalled.<\/p>\n \u201cWe had been texting every day for a year, but we\u2019d never talked on the phone and we\u2019d never met,\u201d Jennifer continued. \u201cThen we were finally going to meet and she sent me her address and I\u2019m driving over, and on the way over, I\u2019m like, \u2018Oh my God, what if this is John the Orchestra Guy?\u2019 She thought when I was on the way over, \u2018Oh my God, what if this is John the Orchestra Guy?\u2019 So, then I called you and we were like, \u2018Hello?\u2019 That\u2019s the first thing we had in common. We\u2019ve all been there, right?\u201d the Red Sparrow<\/em> star said with a laugh.<\/p>\n Emma attended the event to present the Best Actor in a Motion Picture, Comedy or Musical award. She wanted Jennifer to go as her date to the post-Golden Globe parties, but opted for quiet night together instead, even though Jen had their evening planned.<\/p>\n In a January 8, 2018, video<\/a> posted to Facebook, the Red Sparrow<\/em> star was seen in her backyard, recounting the night to Emma.<\/p>\n \u201cYou had told me that you wanted me to be your date to the after-parties, so I got us tickets to some afterparties, I booked a car, and I was halfway through glam when you told me that you didn\u2019t want to go. You just wanted to come over to my house. So I sent my hair and makeup team home.\u201d<\/p>\n Jennifer then looked up to show her half-done face, which had full makeup on one side and was makeup-free on the other. \u201cAnd now this is what I look like,\u201d she added, as Emma laughed, saying, \u201cYou\u2019re the best.\u201d<\/p>\n When the Don\u2019t Look Up<\/em> star tied the knot with the art dealer in a lavish Rhode Island ceremony in October 2019, Emma was at the nuptials<\/a> to celebrate her pal\u2019s big life moment.<\/p>\n Two months later, Emma got engaged<\/a> to Saturday Night Live<\/em> director Dave McCary<\/strong>, though little is known about their wedding.<\/p>\n The La La Land<\/em> star and Dave welcomed daughter Louise Jean in March 2021. Jennifer and Cooke\u2019s son Cy arrived in February 2022.<\/p>\n In July 2022, the ladies met up for a meal at New York City\u2019s legendary Hwa Yuan Chinese restaurant.<\/p>\n The eatery shared a photo of Emma and Jennifer<\/a> posing with the chef to their Instagram page, writing, \u201cHwa Yuan was thrilled to host Emma Stone and Jennifer Lawrence for dinner! Chef Tang and the Tang family are big fans of theirs and are honored that they are fans of our restaurant and food. Emma and Jennifer, we hope you enjoyed and come back again soon!\u201d<\/p>\n Even though 2023 Best Actress winner Michelle Yeoh<\/strong> was the one holding the statuette, five former Best Actress winners participated in the introduction of the nominees. When Emma\u2019s name was called and she got onstage, Jennifer helped hand her the trophy.<\/p>\n Michelle explained the reason in a March 11, 2024, Instagram post<\/a> the day after the ceremony, writing, \u201cCongratulations Emma! I confused you, but I wanted to share that glorious moment of handing over Oscar to you together with your best friend Jennifer!\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\nEmma Stone and Jennifer Lawrence Competed for the Same Roles<\/h2>\n
