Global entertainment icon and lifestyle mogul Jennifer Lopez will be honored with the “Generation Award” at the 2022 MTV Movie & TV Awards. The one-night event hosted by Vanessa Hudgens will kick off live from Barker Hangar on Sunday, June 5, at 8 PM ET.
According to the media company, the Generation Award celebrates beloved actors whose diverse contributions to film and television have turned them into household names.
On this occasion, Jennifer Lopez will be honored for her outstanding career in the entertainment industry and for using her talent and skills to branch out into other markets, including beauty and hospitality.
The award-winning actress, producer, singer, entertainer, and businesswoman has built billion-dollar brands and has established herself as one of the most influential artists in history. The Nuyorican star is, to date, the only artist to ever have a number one album and number one film simultaneously — she has a cumulative worldwide box-office gross of over $3 billion.
The HOLA! USA Latina Powerhouse has also sold over 75 million records, and her most recent It’s My Party tour sold out in 2019. Jennifer Lopez has been named to the TIME 100 list, Forbes’ “Most Powerful Celebrity,” and was the first to grace People’s cover for “Most Beautiful Woman in the World”.
In addition to receiving the MTV Video Vanguard Award, SAG, Critics Choice, and two Golden Globe nominations for her critically acclaimed roles in the box office hit movies Hustlers and Selena, the fashion icon, entrepreneur, and philanthropist has received scores of awards, accolades, and honorariums for her work and philanthropy across multiple platforms.
