Lindsay Lohan Fails to Get Jennifer Lawrence's Golden Globes Joke, Sparks Twitter Backlash

Jennifer Lawrence has demonstrated she's not afraid to drop a few movie references in her acceptance speeches during her sweep through awards season. There was the Mean Girls trophy joke at the People's Choice Awards earlier this month, and then the First Wives Club quote when she won the Best Actress Golden Globe over Meryl Streep.

Lawrence's "It says, 'I beat Meryl'" Bette Midler tribute was one of the best moments of the show, and yet another reason in the long list of reasons why we love Lawrence. Unfortunately, not everyone in showbiz has the encyclopedic knowledge of cinema Lawrence does.

If you were following Lindsay Lohan's insightful tweets during the ceremony, you may have noticed she didn't get the joke, resulting in some anti-Lawrence sentiment on Twitter:

Confused by the backlash, Lawrence cleared the air on Tuesday's Letterman. "I had no idea Lidsay Lohan would take to the 'Twitterverse,'" she said, laughing. "I wanted to make a public statement like, 'You idiots, it's a quote from a movie.'"

Maybe Lohan should stop concerning herself with a misguided defense of Streep and start asking herself why she's at home tweeting instead of delivering her own acceptance speech. (Could she and Lawrence have a more disparate career trajectory?) But for us, the big takeaway comes down to this: Where do we sign up to be president of the Jennifer Lawrence fanclub?
