Amy Schumer and Jennifer Lawrence each proved why they're currently queens of all they survey in Hollywood, with a feisty set-piece double act at the Golden Globes that soon veered off-script and into something more interesting.

The pair, who arrived together at at the event, took to the stage, with Jennifer asking her chum if she had thought of a suitable moniker to match her customary 'J-Law'. Amy responded with "A-Schu".
"Amy, you can't just give yourself a nickname," said Jennifer. "It has to come naturally. What do people usually call you?"
"Usually they just call me c***," said Amy, delighted by the shocked whoops in the audience, as NBC swiftly bleeped her for the benefit of the viewing audience.
She knows she was naughty... Amy Schumer beams after being bleeped at the Golden Globes
The pair continued to chat, before Amy admonished an audience member, "Please turn your phone off," to which Jennifer added, "No pictures."
Bearing in mind Jennifer's outrage and fury that she expressed fully when her personal pictures were hacked from her phone in 2014, this was a very classy comeback - laughing at herself, and also making the point in her unique fashion. Full marks!
Other triumphs on stage included Ryan Gosling and straight man Brad Pitt, with Ryan riffing that he'd expected to present alone, not with his 'The Big Short' co-star.
Golden Globes 2016: Best And Worst Dressed
BEST: Jennifer Lawrence In Christian Dior(01 of50)
This is hands-down, in our opinion, the best Jennifer Lawrence has ever looked at an awards show. This red Dior gown is grown-up and sophisticated, but the cut-outs at the side make it modern and sexy. And that necklace? We. Die. (credit:Jason Merritt via Getty Images)
BEST: Jenna Dewan Tatum In Zuhair Murad(02 of50)
A definite step-up from her "Channing Tatum" costume, Jenna Dewan Tatum sparkled on the red carpet in this stunning Zuhair Murad gown. Everything from the glittering embellishments to the ball gown skirt and that plunging neckline has us gasping in awe. (credit:John Shearer via Getty Images)
WORST: Julianne Moore In Tom Ford(03 of50)
We can't deny Julianne Moore looks good, but this sequinned gown by Tom Ford just isn't cutting it for us. Perhaps it's the overload of sparkles combined with the form-fitting silhouette, but it's definitely not one of our fave Julianne looks. (credit:Jason Merritt via Getty Images)
BEST: Lady Gaga In Custom Versace(04 of50)
Lady Gaga channelled Marilyn Monroe on the Golden Globes red carpet, and it worked. This custom Versace gown gives the "American Horror Story" actress a beautiful hourglass shape and the sweetheart neckline is oh-so-flattering. (credit:Jason Merritt via Getty Images)
WORST: Katy Perry In Prada(05 of50)
Yikes. The pink hue of this Prada dress looks lovely on Katy, but the frock itself is ill-fitting. Also, can we talk about Katy's bump-it? Perhaps not the best choice of hairstyle. (credit:John Shearer via Getty Images)
WORST: Kate Winslet In Ralph Lauren(06 of50)
Kate Winslet will always be beautiful in our books, but we have to say we're not crazy about this Ralph Lauren gown, particularly the mixed fabrics. (credit:Jason Merritt via Getty Images)
BEST: Cate Blanchett In Givenchy Couture(07 of50)
Cate Blanchett took us back to the roaring '20s in this stunning Givenchy Couture gown. The pale pink colour looks beautiful against the actress' skin tone and the fringe and lace details are undeniably elegant. (credit:Jason Merritt via Getty Images)
WORST: Kate Hudson In Michael Kors(08 of50)
There's no doubt Kate looks like a bronzed goddess, but we're not sure about this two-piece Michael Kors ensemble. The top looks as if a wardrobe malfunction could happen at any moment! (credit:Jason Merritt via Getty Images)
BEST: Saoirse Ronan In Saint Laurent Couture(09 of50)
Hello, Grecian goddess! Saoirse Ronan looked lovely and elegant in this white Saint Laurent Couture gown. We love the drape of the dress, especially the train from the left shoulder. (credit:Jordan Strauss/Invision/AP)
BEST: Jane Fonda Saint Laurent Couture(10 of50)
Yes, the ruffles are dramatic, but this is Jane Fonda we're talking about, people, and she can do no wrong. (credit:Jason Merritt via Getty Images)
ON THE FENCE: Jennifer Lopez In Giambattista Valli(11 of50)
We love that JLo changed things up and wore a more modest gown than usual (aside from that thigh-high slit of course), but it just seems like an overload of fabric on the "American Idol" judge. (credit:Jason Merritt via Getty Images)
WORST: America Ferrera In Jenny Packham(12 of50)
Another star who missed the mark in a yellow gown? America Ferrera. (credit:Jason Merritt via Getty Images)
BEST: Kate Bosworth In Dolce & Gabbana(13 of50)
Sparkly perfection. (credit:Jason Merritt via Getty Images)
WORST: Rachel McAdams In Lanvin(14 of50)
Rachel McAdams, we love you so, and we wish you had opted for a different gown than this floral Lanvin frock. It's reminiscent of Kim Kardashian's infamous Met Gala 2013 dress, though not as, er, intense. (credit:Jason Merritt via Getty Images)
BEST: Laverne Cox In Elizabeth Kennedy(15 of50)
This marks Laverne Cox's first Golden Globes, and let's just say she KILLED it. This Elizabeth Kennedy gown is effortlessly elegant, and one of our fave Laverne looks to date. (credit:Jason Merritt via Getty Images)
BEST: Zendaya In Marchesa(16 of50)
SLAY. This ruby red tiered Marchesa gown is sheer perfection on Zendaya, and that plunging neckline gives it that added bit of sexiness. (credit:Jason Merritt via Getty Images)
BEST: Rooney Mara In Alexander McQueen(17 of50)
Romantic and gothic, exactly what we would expect from Rooney. (credit:Jason Merritt via Getty Images)
BEST: Helen Mirren In Badgley Mischka(18 of50)
Helen Mirren is the definition of elegant, and this Badgley Mischka dress is proof. (credit:Steve Granitz via Getty Images)
WORST: Maggie Gyllenhaal In Marc Jacobs(19 of50)
We can't help but feel a little bit dizzy when looking at Maggie Gyllenhaal's Marc Jacobs dress. (credit:Jason Merritt via Getty Images)
WORST: Melissa McCarthy In Melissa McCarthy(20 of50)
We appreciate that Melissa McCarthy rocked her own design on the red carpet, but the intense metallic in this dress needs to be broken up by another texture. Her hair and makeup though? On point. (credit:Jason Merritt via Getty Images)
BEST: Alicia Vikander In Louis Vuitton(21 of50)
Alicia Vikander's Louis Vuitton dress make look simple at first glance, but the pinstripe pattern, belted detail and ruffled neckline make this garment anything but boring. (credit:Jason Merritt via Getty Images)
BEST: Alicia Vikander In Louis Vuitton(22 of50)
And the back? Love. (credit:John Shearer via Getty Images)
WORST: Natalie Dormer In J. Mendel(23 of50)
We had high hopes for Natalie Dormer's red carpet look, but alas, we were quite disappointed with this J. Mendel number. The keyhole cut-out paired with the off-the-shoulder top and the black neckpiece make for an awkward combination... and the hairdo would look better a little less messy. (credit:Jason Merritt via Getty Images)
WORST: Emilia Clarke In Valentino Couture(24 of50)
Emilia Clarke's Valentino Couture gown was also a bit of a disappointment. The armholes of the cape look awkward and the excessive black fabric seems overpowering on the "Game of Thrones" star. (credit:Jason Merritt via Getty Images)
BEST: Malin Akerman In Reem Acra(25 of50)
Malin Akerman reminds us of a beautiful mermaid in this stunning Reem Acra gown. Though we're not normally fans of peplums, this delicate version works, especially in the lace fabric. (credit:John Shearer via Getty Images)
BEST: Olivia Wilde In Michael Kors(26 of50)
RED. HOT. Olivia Wilde Shut. It. Down. in this ruby red Michael Kors sequined gown. Paired with that red eye shadow and ruby and diamond necklace – simply stunning. (credit:John Shearer via Getty Images)
BEST: Kirsten Dunst In Valentino(27 of50)
Is it just us, or is this one of the best Kirsten Dunst looks in recent memory? This Valentino gown is so sexy, especially with Dunst's dark, smoky eye. (credit:Jason Merritt via Getty Images)
BEST: Amy Schumer In Prabal Gurung(28 of50)
We don't think we've ever seen Amy Schumer look so glam! This Prabal Gurung gown is perfect for the red carpet, but what we love most is how at ease Schumer looks in it. (credit:John Shearer via Getty Images)
BEST: Rosie Huntington-Whiteley In Saint Laurent(29 of50)
GOLDEN GODDESS. 'Nuff said. (credit:Jason Merritt via Getty Images)
BEST: Viola Davis In Marchesa(30 of50)
Shining bright like a diamond, Rihanna style. (credit:Jason Merritt via Getty Images)
ON THE FENCE: Jamie Lee Curtis(31 of50)
Jamie Lee Curtis looks great, no question, we just wish she wore something a little less safe. Definitely doesn't have us "screaming" with excitement. (credit:Jason Merritt via Getty Images)
BEST: Lily James In Marchesa(32 of50)
Dreamy, ethereal, romantic. We love. (credit:Jason Merritt via Getty Images)
WORST: Julia Louis-Dreyfus(33 of50)
This lace gown just seems outdated. Honestly, we'd prefer Julia Louis-Dreyfus' 1994 Golden Globes ensemble. (credit:Jason Merritt via Getty Images)
BEST: Gina Rodriguez In Zac Posen(34 of50)
A ballgown fit for a princess. (credit:Jason Merritt via Getty Images)
WORST: Leslie Mann In Monique Lhuillier(35 of50)
This Monique Lhuillier dress isn't Leslie's best looks. The poufy bodice isn't the most flattering and the sprinkling of glitter on the top of the skirt just seems random. (credit:Jason Merritt via Getty Images)
BEST: Sophia Bush In Narcisco Rodriguez(36 of50)
Simple, elegant and sexy. (credit:Jason Merritt via Getty Images)
BEST: Taylor Schilling In Custom Thakoon(37 of50)
Taylor Schilling ditched the dress and opted for a custom beaded Thakoon evening suit for the Golden Globes. We say: smart choice. (credit:John Shearer via Getty Images)
WORST: Eva Longoria In Georges Hobeika(38 of50)
Double bows are never a good idea, Eva Longoria. (credit:Jason Merritt via Getty Images)
ON THE FENCE: Joanne Froggatt In Reem Acra(39 of50)
We love the hue of this Reem Acra gown on Joanne Froggatt, but the dress itself is just a bit blah. (credit:Jason Merritt via Getty Images)
BEST: Rachel Bloom(40 of50)
Rachel Bloom rocked a classic gown, and it totally worked on her. The off-the-shoulder neckline is ultra-flattering and that emerald green hue is stunning. (credit:John Shearer via Getty Images)
WORST: Regina King(41 of50)
SO. MUCH. SPARKLE. Also, is that white cape not a bit random? (credit:Jason Merritt via Getty Images)
BEST: Heidi Klum In Dolce & Gabbana(42 of50)
Heidi Klum can often miss the mark on the red carpet, but we say she nailed it with this Dolce & Gabbana fringed dress. (credit:Jason Merritt via Getty Images)
BEST: Jaimie Alexander In Genny(43 of50)
Jaimie Alexander set the bar high wearing this Genny gown. The rich jewel tone is ultra-glam and that ultra-low neckline is oh-so-sexy. (credit:Jason Merritt via Getty Images)
BEST: Judith Light(44 of50)
YES TO PANTSUITS, ESPECIALLY IN WHITE! (credit:John Shearer via Getty Images)
WORST: Felicity Huffman In Lorena Sarbu(45 of50)
Dark red looks good on Felicity, especially with her newly-dyed dark locks, but it's that embellished neckline that we take issue with. (credit:Jason Merritt via Getty Images)
WORST: Angela Bassett(46 of50)
Oh Angela, this isn't your best. This orange frock is ill-fitting and quite frankly, boring, compared to your other red carpet ensembles. (credit:Kevork Djansezian/NBC via Getty Images)
BEST: Uzo Aduba(47 of50)
Werk, Uzo! This sparkly black gown is chic and sophisticated, and we're especially loving the "Orange Is The New Black" star's short 'do. (credit:John Shearer via Getty Images)
BEST: Jada Pinkett Smith In Versace(48 of50)
Jada Pinkett Smith looks sexy in pretty much everything, but this Versace number manages to capture that essence in a classy way. (credit:VALERIE MACON via Getty Images)
BEST: Amber Heard In Gucci(49 of50)
Wow, just wow. This romantic chiffon Gucci gown is probably one of our faves of the night, especially with that floral neckline. (credit:John Shearer via Getty Images)
BEST: Brie Larson In Calvin Klein(50 of50)
Talk about sexy! Brie Larson glimmered in gold in this slinky Calvin Klein frock. Werk. (credit:Steve Granitz via Getty Images)
