Jennifer Lawrence won Best Actress in a Motion Picture Musical or Comedy for her performance in "Silver Linings Playbook" at the Golden Globes on Sunday night.
While accepting the award, Lawrence raised eyebrows by joking, "I beat Meryl."
The ding on Streep, not present at the Golden Globes because she was ill with the flu, was actually not a ding at all. Lawrence was referencing "First Wives Club," the 1996 comedy starring Goldie Hawn, Bette Midler and Diane Keaton.
In the film, Bette Midler’s character says to Goldie Hawn’s character, “Once you were a terrific actress. You even got an Oscar to prove it.” Bette’s character sees and touches the golden statue in the scene, saying, “‘I beat Meryl.’ That’s what it says.”
Lawrence also made a joke about Harvey Weinstein, wondering who he had to kill to get her on stage.
The "Silver Linings Playbook" star is also nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actress. Her main competition for the Oscar is Jessica Chastain, who also won at the Golden Globes in the Best Actress in a Motion Picture Drama category for "Zero Dark Thirty."

More on Jodie Foster's big night at the Golden Globes:
After being introduced by Robert Downey Jr., Foster coyly said, "While I’m here being all confessional, I just have the sudden urge to say something I’ve never been able to air in public. A declaration that I’m a little nervous about. Not quite as nervous as my publicist, huh, Jennifer? But uh, you know, I’m just going to put it out there. Loud and proud. I’m going to need your support. I am -- single!"

| @ Breznican : Most interesting theory heard at Globes: Argo gets Best Picture Oscar as rest of Academy overcompensates for directors' Affleck snub. |
| @ AmyKinLA : Affleck just WON'T say he's upset about the Oscar snub. Says he's a member of the Academy & so are the filmmakers he admires. #GoldenGlobes |
Remember when Jennifer Lawrence said "I beat Meryl" and everyone thought she was slamming Meryl Streep and not referencing "First Wives Club."
Some stars didn't make the best-dressed list. From HuffPost Style:
The 2013 Golden Globes took place on Sunday night in Los Angeles, and true to form, brought out the very best in fashion and style. As it happens, they also brought out the worst in red carpet dresses, from misplaced cutouts to heavy fabric to frocks that don't belong at a prestigious awards ceremony.
From the red carpet, some of the Golden Globes best-dressed celebrities. Via HuffPost Style.
The 2013 Golden Globes had us jumping for joy. Not because some of our favorite TV shows and movies won (yay, "Homeland"), but because actresses took style chances on the red carpet this year, making for an interesting awards show (and an amazing best-dressed list).
We'll find out on Feb. 24. More here on the film's Golden Globes win.

| @ EDouglasWW : So if Argo wins the GG, is it still in the game for Best Picture at Oscars or is it another movie to end its run on GG night? |
"Les Miserables" beat "Silver Linings Playbook," an upset, of sorts, considering the power Harvey Weinstein usually has at the Golden Globes. More on the "Les Mis" win here.
