Now why would anyone ever do this come on now

Because people use clickbaity loaded thread titles like this one to incite hate and people are so uninformed and basic that they don’t click further to even go on to take what she meant by all of it in context. I’m tired of the J.Lo hate and dragging that the mods of ATRL (mostly Mariah stans) have continued to allow.

She deserves more respect honestly. People want to hold her lack of vocal ability and voice mixing against her, but you have other artists such as Elvis who are praised to the high heavens, but he continuously stole records from Black artists.

 

She definitely deserved an Oscar nomination for Hustlers but she was shut out because she hasn’t branded herself as this “serious actor” in Hollywood. But yet, you have other actresses in the same league such as Jennifer Aniston getting SAG Awards and Jennifer Coolidge getting EMMY Awards. 
 

I am not the one to pull the race card at everything, but Hollywood likes to pick and choose who they want to respect. They would rather respect the white than the minorities. Plus, “All I Have” is without a doubt one of the greatest duets in pop music history. It definitely should’ve won a GRAMMY.

She’s an icon for what she represents and for what women can achieve with hard work and dedication. I’m fairly certain she’s aware that her talents can’t compete with those who’ve won the awards she mentioned and I’m sure she’s fine with it. 

[Babar2009]

Many of her contemporaries aren’t still on peoples lips, I’m not a fan of hers, but she stays relevant good or bad good for her 

[Brikenbur]

J. Lo was killing it in the late 90’s well into the early to mid 2000’s with hit singles such as “If You Had My Love,” “Waiting for Tonight,” “Jenny from the Block” just to name a few. She’s also starred in back-to-back hit movies. She IS an icon and people on social media try and negate her credibility, but, look at the resume!

[RIKI232]

Shes a great actress and need to be recognized as one

[Avenger]

Icon.

[gettsleazy]

She's a perpetual "meh" and will never be taken seriously by The Academy or the Grammys because she's branded herself for mass consumption. It's corny and tired. I don't think she'll ever be able to "prove herself" because of this, so she should stick to collecting checks and making blockbusters

Well also don’t forget she’s doing it all and was one of the first in mainstream to do it successfully (music, movies, performing, business). Maybe now it’s standard for any pop girl to do it all, or at least try to. But it wasn’t standard at all. Apart from maybe Bette Midler. But her having juggled all of those things for multiple decades has also worked against her in having peers from respective industries not respect her enough to give her her dues. It’s what she touches on in her full speech (pg. 1). Because let’s be clear, she’s clearly on par as an actress with many of her respected peers that are getting acclaim but just focus on 1 industry.

Maybe ****ing read the 1998 Movieline interview they’re actually ****ing referencing  

 

So embarrassing  

Not ******* 1998.  It’s been over 25 years since, people change. 
 

Also, like others have said, most of the awards, especially nowadays are meaningless and pretty much everyone knows her and respects her work so she still won in the end.

she spilled  she's coming for that Oscar with Unbreakable tho! after Godmother got scrapped

I think she’s going through with The Godmother film, unfortunately. Even though Netflix is releasing Sofia Vergara’s version of the same story and Jen’s has been in development for like 8 years 💀

[Frozen99]

she really is a jennifer of all trades, master of none but what i say is that she def deserves a golden globe or a latin grammy... the fact she was nominated only twice for grammy  

[qurl]

she doesn’t have an Oscar but she’s proven she’s a great actress

 

‘Enough’ would have never won an oscar bc it’s not a particularly well directed movie but her performance in that role ….. stunning !

[Rocket]

[Katamari]

Love that for her

[harwee]

Icon Award >>>>

 

 

 

Also she has multiple GLADD awards

girl… madonna, cher, barbra streisand are literally there but ok  but you pulled better middler 

 

no hate ob JLo but she’s cute for a moment every now and then. she’s never been a crazy album seller, she has a few hit movies but i can’t think of a single one that’s actually an international classic or one that stands out maybe maid in manhattan or that movie with jane fonda but that movie was jane fondas comeback anyway so it’s not really her selling it 

 

like ok she is successful once every 5 years but there’s nothing to it. she’ll never on her peers level. she’s not that talented, she’s not that successful. she’s pretty. she’s gorgeous. that’s good

Yeah, she's a businesswoman first and foremost. Music and films are just part of her portfolio, she's good at what she does, she's not the best hence is why it is difficult for her to stand out and I don't think that's a bad thing to be fair, she's got her hit singles and cult classic films like Anaconda and The Cell and she's a household name, people will always know Jennifer Lopez and that's my point.

[Yellowfever]

i’m sorry but 

 

[Triton]

So a fifth award her manager set up and got since she showed up?
 

Basically a participation reward.

I like how we're pretending that people hate poor J Lo all of a sudden for no reason. This woman has over the years been called on multiple occasions by so many fans and workers as a nightmare to work with and a genuinely horrible person. She doesn't deserve ****. Imagine being both talentless AND mean. Pick a struggle.
