In an in-depth chat with the February issue of Latina Magazine<\/a><\/em>, “Louboutin” songstress Jennifer Lopez lashed out at the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences for snubbing her 2007 biopic El Cantante<\/em>. The singer\/actress was royally annoyed when her name wasn’t among the Best Actress nominees at the 2008 Academy Awards – and can only imagine that film critics didn’t get around to seeing her portrayal of Puchi, the tough-as-nails wife of drug-addicted salsa pioneer Hector Lavoe (played by Jennifer’s real-life hubby, Marc Anthony.)<\/p>\n

Sorry, J. Lo, but we’re going to have to respectfully disagree. Selena<\/em> was definitely this girl’s finest hour. If<\/em> anyone deserved an Oscar nod for El Cantante<\/em>, it was Marc. He turned in a wonderful performance as Lavoe, if I do say so myself.<\/p>\n

Jennifer tells Latina:<\/em><\/strong> \u201cI feel like I had that [Oscar worthy role] in El Cantante, but I don\u2019t even think the academy members saw it. I feel like it\u2019s their responsibility to do that, to see everything that\u2019s out there, everything that could be great.\u201d \u201cWell, it is a little bit frustrating. It was funny; when the Oscars were on, I had just given birth on the 22nd, and the Oscars, I think, were a day or two later. I was sitting there with my twins\u2014I couldn\u2019t have been happier\u2014but I was like, \u2018How dope would it have been if I would\u2019ve won the Oscar and been here in my hospital bed accepting the award?\u2019 \u2018Thank you so much! I just want to thank the academy!\u2019 But we joked about it. It\u2019s all good. Things will happen when they\u2019re supposed to happen. I have the utmost faith and no doubt that it will one day, when and if it\u2019s supposed to. You can\u2019t get all crazy twisted over it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jennifer Lopez On Marriage To Marc Anthony:<\/strong> \u201cEverything is great about my marriage. First and foremost, we love each other, truly love each other in a way that\u2019s very deep and meaningful, not in a superficial sort of way. There\u2019s a deep respect, admiration and love for each other. We honestly believe that we make each other better people\u2026We force each other to be better, and I think in a relationship, that\u2019s how it should be. You shouldn\u2019t be with somebody if he makes you feel less than who you are.\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n

Jennifer Lopez On Fame:<\/strong> \u201cYour world becomes smaller, so yeah, it is a weird reality. You stop doing things like having a key in your pocket, opening the door for yourself because you become so busy. All of a sudden, somebody takes that over for you. You do lose touch a little bit; anybody who says they don\u2019t is a liar. Your life is not like a person who goes to work, opens their door, goes to the grocery store. I lived that life for 20-something years, and now my life is different, but I have my foot in both worlds…..”<\/em><\/p>\n

Jennifer Lopez On The Future:<\/strong> \u201cThe experience of living is very important for an artist, for somebody who has to express those emotions. I feel I\u2019m about to leave my whole life behind and go to the next thing. I really mean that: Bye-bye, house; bye-bye, everything. Next thing, here I come. Let\u2019s go. Maybe a year and a half ago, I wasn\u2019t ready, but now I am. There\u2019s no tentativeness, no doubt, no fear.”<\/em><\/p>\n
