Answer 1

Because she can't sing, and most of her movies are shallow.

Answer 2

Acting is a craft, and there are different degrees of difficulty in playing different types of roles. J-Lo always plays parts with a very LOW degree of difficulty. Pretty much any actor or actress could play the roles she does and do as well or better. Just because she plays easy roles well enough to get by is not enough to get her an Oscar.

Asking why she's never gotten an Oscar is kinda like asking why Jean-Claude Van Damme never won an Oscar. He plays the parts he plays well enough, but they're not tough to play (minus the martial arts parts). The Academy -- which is mostly made up of people in the business who actually understand the craft involved -- can tell the difference. The public doesn't always understand the difference and will often think an actor or actress is "good" just because a movie was enjoyable, but the people in the business do understand the difference and, thus, she doesn't win.

For instance, teenagers might see a movie like "The Queen" and be bored to tears. As a result, they'll be of the opinion that Helen Mirren is a terrible actress. But that's because they're confusing their taste in movies with the talent of the actors involved. Also because they're not generally sophisticated enough in their understanding of the craft of acting to understand how difficult a role like that really is to pull off. By comparison, playing a chick-flick maid in Manhattan is a walk in the park. Anybody could do it.

As for the Grammys: J-Lo's voice is augmented in the studio by machines and other singers. There was a controversy many years ago in which a singer whose voice was used to "sweeten" J-Lo's vocals came forward to point out that it wasn't really J-Lo singing all that. Hard to give a Grammy to someone who needs another singer to sing over her voice in order to make it sound like she can sing. Especially when there are plenty of other artists out there who CAN sing and don't need studio augmentation.

I appreciate the fact that you enjoy J-Lo's work -- and there's nothing wrong with that; it's enjoyable enough I guess -- but that doesn't change the fact that it's bubblegum. And bubblegum will very rarely get those kinds of awards (a Grammy maybe, but definitely not an Oscar).

Btw, in reference to your reasoning that "she has a lot of hits and sold a million records": If that were all it took, then the Wayans Brothers would win Oscars for their Scary Movie movies, and the NOW collections would win every single Grammy every single year. "Popular" does not equal "good."

For instance, Rhianna's album sold a ton of copies and her singles have been in heavy rotation, but if you see her live, she can't sing (she even lip-synced on American Idol, when almost no other artist ever does). It's all studio magic. Same with Nelly Furtado.

If J-Lo wants a Grammy or an Oscar, then she needs to step up her game. Personally, I don't think it's in her -- I just don't think she has the chops -- but who knows? With a little work, she might get there...

Answer 3

There is always a chance that she could win an Oscar or a Golden Globe. She'll probably never win a grammy because she does write her own songs, shes just a preformer. Remember what happened to Milli Vanilli. Usually her movies are pretty lousy too, I mean The Cell stunk, Maid in Manhatten was a lame chick flick, the only good movies I remeber her in where U-Turn and Money Train.
You are right though she is super sexy, a awesome dancer and a millionaire so she probably doesn't even really need, that type of validation but I'm sure it would be cool.

Answer 4

She can't act all that great. Yes she is a talented singer and dance, but that's all she's got. She doesn't have the stuff for acting, let alone a best actress award. She's sold millions of records, but I guess she has more to prove before she will get herself a Grammy.

Answer 5

Sadly, many of the awards and their shows wind up being a popularity contest, more than actual talent.

The oscars especially, many actors are given awards because everyone liked the movie, not because their acting was so great or they portrayed the character really well.

Bob Hope was one of the greatest comedy entertainers, and made dozens of movies, but never got a best actor award......although they did finally give him a lifetime acheivement oscar.
Then youve got Tom Hanks, who coughs twice, says "I'm sick" and dies early in the movie and gets an oscar for "Philadelphia"

Answer 6

She's not a "best actress". She's an "ok actress". And I've never really cared for her music. There WAS a music video years ago in which she danced around in a tiny little silver dress... THAT was pretty dang sexy... but not worthy of any award.

Answer 7

She's not a good actor. There are many women out there who are better than she. And she's an average singer. Popularity isn't always an indication of talent.

Answer 8

There's a whole lot of competition out there. Many great actors / actresses, many great singers.

Answer 9

she is a studio singer, meaning they can fix her weak voice with tecnological tricks. i love her movies but they're fluff or violent, not anything the academy will ever give an award to.

Answer 10

she should have won an award for her leading role in the movie ENOUGH she was great in that movie.
