''I had everything in my head. I was very, very nervous but I was ready. All of the adrenaline clears out and they call my name and I’m elated and I’m in shock…,'' she explains. ''And then I fell, and it erased everything from my mind. My full brain went blank''.

''I can look back at it now fondly but for a very long time the fall thing was very sensitive,'' she said. The actress bagged an Academy for 'Silver Linings Playbook', in the best actress category that year.

Lawrence said she even confronted people who called her fall fake, ''It was so devastating because it was a horrific humiliation to me. I don’t know if I'll ever have a chance to give a speech like that again, so it didn’t feel good for me not to have a speech," she said.
