Awards shows are generally overlong and torturous occasions for all but a few lucky winners, but Jennifer Lawrence has discovered a handy solution: weed! During a particularly revelatory game of "Plead the Fifth" on Watch What Happens Live! last night, Katniss not only admitted to kissing Gale while the cameras weren't rolling ("Liam's real hot. What would you have done?" she replied), but also that she took a casual bong hit before one of the Oscars.

After Andy Cohen asked, "When Susan Sarandon was on our show, she revealed that she had smoked pot before every awards show except the Oscars. Have you ever smoked up before an awards show?," she replied:

Jennifer Lawrence: I'm actually completely reversed. I smoked pot at none of them, but I saw my brother smoking out of a bong before one of the Oscars, I won't say which.

Andy: Did you take a little hit?

Jennifer: Uh, yeah.

Andy: Was it the year you won?

Jennifer: I don't want to spend the fifth because I don't know what you're going to ask next!

Andy: Was it the year you won?

Jennifer: I plead the fifth.

Guess we'll never know whether Jennifer Lawrence smoked weed before the Oscars where she fell down onstage or the two Oscars where she didn't fall down onstage. Watch it below.
