Continuing her reign as one of the best actresses in Hollywood, Jennifer Lawrence won a Golden Globe on Sunday night for her performance in “Joy.”

But a moment during her Q&A with reporters seems to be getting all of the buzz.

As one reporter asked Lawrence a question, Lawrence interrupted him and told him to stop looking at his phone.

“How do you see yourself for the Oscar’s night—,” the reporter started to ask Lawrence.

“You can’t live your whole life behind your phone bro,” Lawrence cuts him off. “You just, you can’t do that. You’ve gotta live in the now.”

“How do you see yourself for the Oscar’s night, and how was it working—” he started to ask her again.

“We’re at the Golden Globes,” she quipped. “If you put your phone down, you’d know that.”

While you can hear the original journalist laughing in the video, many people on Twitter are saying the actress was harsh, pointing out that the reporter spoke with an accent and may have needed to read the question off of his phone in order to remember it.

Not everyone is upset with the actress. Chris Trondsen, a host on Pacific Rim Video, defended Lawrence and tweeted that the reporter asking the question was also trying to film or take pictures of Lawrence during the exchange.

So far, the reporter who asked the question has not identified himself.
