It can be tough to report on an event held in your second language at the best of times.
So it can’t help when the people you’re interviewing make things tougher from you.

There was some awkward laughter from some of the audience, but the reaction on Twitter was critical of the Oscar winner, who added a Golden Globe for her performance in Joy.

I love Jennifer Lawrence but her stock fell with that mean-spirited treatment of a foreign journo. She's smelling herself. #GoldenGlobes
