In reply to Justme.

I'm not sure why there was any shock. I saw Hustlers. I thought the movie was GOOD maybe even VERY GOOD. It wasn't great or historic in anyway. I also thought her performance which was good was no different from her being the Bronx girl she is. The idea that it was a possible Oscar-winning performance had to be all PR-driven and was no shock to anyone but her team that she didn't get the nomination.

Congratulations to Jennifer and the success of the movie, I think it was worthy of that, but that's it. Oscar? Not at all.

I'm shocked Billboard made her the first female artist to win the ICON Award (after Neil Diamond, Stevie Wonder and Prince!) despite the fact she never won any Billboard Awards before that. Not a single Billboard award. Before Madonna, Janet, Mariah, Whitney, Barbara, Cher, Tina.
