Jennifer Lawrence on 'I beat Meryl' and Lindsay Lohan's tweet: 'Hey idiots it's a quote from a movie'

• Tweet

When Jennifer Lawrence won a Golden Globe for 'Best Actress in a Comedy' last Sunday, the actress' acceptance speech wasn't well received by many as it was misunderstood.

"What does it say? I beat Meryl!," Lawrence said as soon as she got the award in what many people thought to be a reference to the also nominated Meryl Streep, but as we learned Monday, it wasn't. The phrase was actually a quote from the 1996 film, "The First Wives Club."

The Hunger Games star was referring to Lohan's tweet about her speech.

Words cannot express how much I LOVE Kristen Wiig. And no1 should ever mess with a legend, such as Meryl Streep

When Letterman asked Lawrence what she though about the "dopes" who didn't get the joke, she responded, "I wanted to make a public statement like, 'Hey Idiots its a quote from a movie and it's Meryl Streep."
