Streep! Winslet! Foster! These are names that just scream Oscar. But Lopez? As in Jennifer Lopez? Nah. She screams Teen Choice Award. Or Fatty B’s Favorite Fatty Booty award. But don’t tell that to J.Lo. She thinks she should be using her very own Academy Award to knock undead weasel husbo Marc Anthony upside the head every time he tells her she’s not as talented as that Beyonce. She told Latina magazine:
I feel like I had that [Oscar worthy role] in El Cantante, but I don’t even think the academy members saw it. I feel like it’s their responsibility to do that, to see everything that’s out there, everything that could be great.
Well, it is a little bit frustrating. It was funny; when the Oscars were on, I had just given birth on the 22nd, and the Oscars, I think, were a day or two later. I was sitting there with my twins—I couldn’t have been happier—but I was like, ‘How dope would it have been if I would’ve won the Oscar and been here in my hospital bed accepting the award?’ ‘Thank you so much! I just want to thank the academy!’
“Yeah, totally, dawg. That would’ve been so straight dope,” we said as we brushed the Snackwells crumbs off of our Hypercolor shirt and turned up the Bell Biv Devoe on the tape deck.

Lopez’s amibtiions greatly exceed her ambitions.
What would really be “dope” is if she finally realized that she has no talent,and disappears off the face of the entertainment map never to resurface.Oh well,a guy can dream i suppose.
she’s no different from any of the other self absorbed attention whores that currently make up the classless majority that is now hollywood. at least in the golden age of hollywood, celebs had the sense to keep their indiscretions to a minimum or at least stay out of the spotlight until the dust settled. nowadays everything no matter how classless and/or morally defunct is “good press”. and then of course back then an ambulance chasing pile of putrid dung like harvey levin and his room full of barely functional retards would have been run out of town by torchlight. but yeah,she’s an annoying fuckin cunt.
When you say your movie is a biopic and then ignore or rewrite that person’s entire life to insert yourself into every scene you should probably just go ahead and call it fiction or expect it to be roundly panned.
Oh, and J-Lo? It’s usually the producers who submit their movies for Oscar consideration. Who could have possibly produced El Cantante?
Look, the best movie you were ever in was Jersey Girl. So if I see you in the theater again, you’d better be dying or buying candy.
