Jennifer Lawrence and Amy Schumer may have gone head to head for the best actress in a comedy award at the Golden Globes, but they didn't let their rivalry stand in the way of their friendship.

The pair sat at a table together with actress Saiorse Ronan and a group of friends inside the Beverly Hilton Hotel, where they appeared to be having endless fun and laughter together throughout the awards ceremony.

Joining the group were Amy's sister Kim Caramele and her boyfriend Ben Hanisch. While Ben chose to skip the red carpet, he attended the ceremony, marking their first high profile public appearance together.

The couple went public with their romance when Ben accompanied Amy to the White House earlier in the week, and Amy revealed that both he and her sister would be joining her at the Golden Globes in a throwback Instagram post on Thursday.
