From movies to music to dance to entrepreneurship, Jennifer Lopez has had a long and celebrated career—if you looked up multihyphenate in the dictionary, you’d see her name there. Her performance in the 2019 film Hustlers generated ample awards buzz—Oscars, Golden Globes—but, ultimately, she didn’t walk away with any major honors.
It’s a subject she touched on—as Variety put it, “not receiving any top prizes in the entertainment world”—at last night’s Elle Women in Hollywood event. “I don’t have an Oscar,” she said after being presented with the Icon Award by Universal Pictures boss Donna Langley. “And I don’t have a Golden Globe. And I don’t have a Grammy or a SAG Award or a BAFTA or a Critics Choice or a Hollywood Film Award. But this is my fifth Icon Award. Of all the things that I thought I would grow up to be when I was a little girl, the last thing you know I was gonna have on my list was icon.”
