Meryl, who had been nominated for the award seven times before finally winning it, was the perfect person to console Jennifer on her recent string of disappointments.
Jennifer had lost out to Julianne Moore at the Golden Globe Awards and was also snubbed for her first-ever Oscar nomination earlier this year.
Jennifer's latest film, Cake, has been praised for her "Oscar-worthy performance," but she has yet to receive any awards for it. Luckily, Meryl was there at the awards ceremony to give her a comforting cuddle and a shoulder to cry on.
Jennifer's move into more serious roles has been met with some skepticism, but she remains optimistic about her career. On the night of the awards ceremony, Jennifer was also surrounded by support from her friends, including Julia Roberts, Kevin Costner, and Maggie Gyllenhaal. Her fiancé, Justin Theroux, also helped lift her spirits.
Although Jennifer and Justin announced their engagement in 2012, they have yet to set a wedding date. For now, they are taking things at their own pace.
