VIDEO Jennifer Lawrence trips and falls at the Oscars again, remains endearingly wonderful

Jennifer Lawrence falls down on Oscars red carpet 2014

For actress Jennifer Lawrence, the Oscars are always a big trip — literally! After stumbling while ascending the stairs to accept the Academy Award for Best Actress in 2013, Jennifer ran afoul of a cone on the red carpet Sunday night and fell face-first into the woman in front of her.

Here’s a report on the stumble from Hollywood Life that includes the moment Jennifer falls forward:

Jennifer later talked about the fall in a number of red carpet interviews. Here’s one with Piers Morgan followed by another with ABC News’ Lara Spencer in which Jennifer reveals she actually practiced not falling — to no avail. “This year I actually did a stair test out on the back staircase and got it a little dusty, but it worked,” Jennifer said. “But I did trip over a cone, so I guess…I’m not safe.”

Here are the clips:

Academy Awards host Ellen DeGeneres referenced Jennifer’s two stumbles in her opening monologue, summarizing the star’s issues with gravity (and I’m not talking about the Sandra Bullock film that American Hustle was competing against) by joking, “If you win tonight, I think we should bring you the Oscar.”

And because this is 2014 and because a very famous person fell down at a very famous event, here is the inevitable animated gif:
