What made Jennifer Lopez so emotional?
Jennifer Lopez received the Generation Award at the MTV Movie & TV Awards 2022 on Sunday night. Lopez’s accomplishments were mentioned in full before a compilation of the finest moments from her 30-year career in TV, film, music, and fashion flashed across the screen and made Jennifer Lopez cry as host Vanessa Hudgens presented her with the award.
Jennifer Lopez thanked a long list of people
“As an actor, I am not any of the women I have played,” she explained, “but there is a component of myself and each of the roles that are absolutely true to me, and since you cannot create reality unless you have fully lived it, I have a different sort of thank-you list tonight.” Lopez thanked a long number of individuals, including those who had brought her joy and those who had broken her heart, as well as true love and failure for teaching her how to be brave.

“I’d want to thank everyone who has helped to make my existence possible. I’d like to thank those who have made me happy and those who have broken my heart, those who have been truthful to me and those who have lied to me “Lopez said. She says, “I want to embrace true love and the way I lied to myself because that’s how I knew I needed to progress.”
