Post-SAG Awards: Five reasons Emma Thompson is cooler than Jennifer Lawrence

JENNIFER Lawrence has long held the hearts of Hollywood fans, but we think her reign is coming to a close - and she's being dethroned by a woman nearly 30 years her senior.

After Emma Thompson stole the show at the Golden Globes last week with her mock-drunk speech and cute daughter, she again owned the night at the 20th annual SAG Awards in America on Saturday.

Here are five ways the Saving Mr Banks star is clawing back the cool from J-Law:

1. She wore flat shoes

If there's one way to stand out in a crowd of glamorous women, it's by bucking the trend and ditching the heels.

After complaining about her 'bleeding feet' at last week's Globes, Thompson donned sparkly Christian Louboutin flats for the SAG Awards, telling E!'s Giuliana Rancic that "they're so beautiful and I'm so happy."

2. Her dress was legitimately vintage

None of this 'vintage couture' nonsense - Thompson unpretentiously confessed to her peacock-embellished black gown being a vintage find from the 1930s.

3. She's not afraid to have fun on the red carpet

Thompson was snapped talking, laughing, waving and, most importantly, not over-posing on the red carpet.

Then, in a blink-and-you'll-miss-it moment, Thompson photobombed fellow actress Lupita Nyongo - thankfully, given that it happened on the red carpet at one of the biggest award nights in the industry, it was captured for all to see.


4. She does sarcasm and dancing

Taking to the stage with Ewan McGregor to present the award for Outstanding Male Actor in a Television Movie or Miniseries, the British actress boogied her way through, quipping "Is this music available on CD at all?" E! News even went so far as to claim that "she took the monotony out of presenting trophies."

5. Bryan Cranston loves her

While accepting his SAG Award for Breaking Bad, the actor who plays Walter White on the hit show reflected on his...good fortune:

"A week ago, I was at a banquet I saw, out of the corner of my eye, Emma Thompson coming over, fighting her way through tables and looking over. I thought, "Oh my god, that's Emma Thompson. That's Emma Thompson.

"She came up to me and I lost it. I didn't know what to say! That's what happens when you're so lucky."

She might not have won an award, but Emma Thompson has definitely won us over.
