Jennifer Lopez has now been nominated for a Golden Globes award — Best Supporting Actress in a Motion Picture — for her role as Ramona Vega in Hustlers.

Squealing with delight, Jennifer mentioned that it had been 20 years since she had been nominated for a Golden Globes award, that time for her role in 1997’s Selena. The actress also thanked the Hollywood Foreign Press Association for recognizing her work.
Jennifer stated that playing Ramona, a veteran stripper, was both challenging and an honor, as she was a complex character. Nevertheless, the actress and singer was evidently proud of her work.
