Why Jennifer Lawrence Fell At The Oscars

JENNIFER LAWRENCE says that the reason she fell at last year's Oscars was because she had cake on her mind. The actress tumbled up the steps upon collecting her Best Actress Oscar for Silver Linings Playbook, tripping over her Dior Couture gown.

"I was at the Oscars, waiting to hear
 if my name was called, and I kept thinking, 'cakewalk, cakewalk, cakewalk,'" she told W magazine. "I thought, 'Why is cakewalk stuck in my head?' And then, as I started to walk up the stairs and the fabric from my dress tucked under my feet, I realised my stylist had told me, 'Kick, walk, kick, walk.' You are supposed to kick the dress out while you walk, and I totally forgot because I was thinking about cake! And that's why I fell."

Lawrence is up for Best Supporting Actress for her role as a gangster's wife in American Hustle at both the 2014 Golden Globes and BAFTAs.
