J-Law was allegedly relieved that she skipped the Best Supporting Actress win at the Oscars, says Radar Online's source. The reason? She apparently does not want to be another Anne Hathaway, claims Radar Online's unnamed source.

"Jennifer said she was so relieved she didn't win because she didn't want to go through what Anne Hathaway experienced," a source close to the 'American Hustle' star told Radar Online in the report. "She's very aware that the backlash is already coming anyway."

And although it might come off as rude, the source clarifies that J-Law was simply telling the truth and that she and Anne are actually friends.

"And it wasn't in a mean way, she was sort of joking because her and Anne are actually friends. But she just knew that if she won the Oscar again it'd be like a target on her back," J-Law's friend spilled. Jennifer won last year's Best Actress award for her 'Silver Linings Playbook' role.

The 'American Hustle' star has bagged several Best Supporting Actress awards this year alone for her role as Rosalyn Rosenfeld in the movie, including awards from the Golden Globes, BAFTA, the Australian Film Institute, the Broadcast Film Critics Association, the Central Ohio Film Critics Association, the UK Empire Awards, the London Critics Circle Film, the US National Society of Film Critics, the Online Film Critics Society, the Toronto Film Critics Association and the Vancouver Film Critics Circle.

The awards aforementioned do not yet include nominations and other awards she received for 'The Hunger Games' and 'Silver Linings Playbook' in the past years. Clearly, J-Law's list of awards and nominations summed up, shows that she is in a winning streak.

According to Radar Online's source, J-Law was quite afraid of the backlash of being over-exposed, saying "... it's the new standard of backlash... what Anne went through."

"There's such thing as over-exposure and her name is Anne Hathaway," the source adds.

Anne Hathaway seems to have gone through a rough time, at least according to an Express UK report which says that the 'Les Misérables' star's allegedly scripted Golden Globes acceptance speech "inspired a tsunami of online hate: 19,685 tweets per minute."
