First of all, there should have been an usher there to guide her up the steps.
I'm not sure, but I think her "I beat Merle" deal wasn't meant in the spirit it was received (I vaguely remember JL explaining herself later in the press.)
It's not funny when anyone but a family member falls down, as far as I'm concerned.
I'd bet money it was NOT planned. Did you see Lena Dunham teetering up the stairs at the Golden Globes? They're both young women unaccustomed to high heels/long dress combo. They'll learn.
I have to say, Jennifer Lawrence doesn't strike me as a attention hog in the slightest. She's a fantastic actress and she's only going to get better. Would you prefer Lindsay Lohan?
I noticed when Merle Streep came out to present (right after Jennifer) it looked like she was picking her bum, and then remarked, "I'm stepping on my dress."
It made me wonder if she wasn't trying to diffuse the situation for Jennifer? Anyway, bless the audience for giving a Jennifer a standing O.
