Jennifer Lopez's Emotional Golden Globes Nomination Reaction

Jennifer Lopez's Golden Globes Nod For Hustlers Is Her First in 20 Years: "I Am Humbled"

Jennifer Lopez's Emotional Golden Globes Nomination Reaction

Yep, you read that right. Jennifer Lopez has just received a Golden Globes nomination for the first time in 20 years for her role as Ramona in Hustlers, and I already have my fingers crossed that she wins. In an Instagram video on Monday, Lopez gave an emotional thank you speech directed toward the Hollywood Foreign Press Association for her best supporting actress nod. "I am humbled and so excited to be recognised for this role," Lopez said after having just woken up to the incredible news.

Lopez's last Golden Globes nomination was for her starring role in the 1997 film Selena, a biographical drama about the late Mexican-American singer-songwriter Selena Quintanilla. Now, the academy is recognising her stunning Hustlers performance.

"Could not be prouder to be recognised by the #HFPA," Lopez captioned the video. "Ramona was a complicated character and it was an honour and challenge to bring her to life. Hustlers was a labour of love, sweat and perseverance written, directed, produced, edited and starring a group of bad-ass women. I am proud and honoured to represent them and this film!!!" See her full heartfelt speech ahead, and here's to hoping she'll get to give another speech at the Golden Globe Awards on Jan. 5.
