Jennifer Lawrence continues to insist on treating the Academy Awards as a parkour gymnasium.

During Sunday's show, J-Law took her annual Relatablex™ pill and once again did something that a celebrity of her stature would never do, but normals sure love. Instead of her time-honored trips to the ground, the star of the best movie of 2017 (mother!), climbed over some theater seats to gab with Meryl Streep.

She hiked up her fancy shmancy gown like it was a pair of shorteralls and stepped her highest of heels over those dirty seats because she's too busy to walk all the way to the aisle. JUST LIKE I WOULD DO!

Thanks to the wonderful people at Getty, we can see this whole, normal, everyday action take place in every stage of its down home-iness.

First, Jennifer spots Meryl Streep standing so close, but because of the seats, so far away.

Though her face betrays her doubts, her actions speak louder.
