I think she can, but now isn't a good time to pursue that because of the music career and Idol. It'll be much harder for her with the JLo persona, IMO.

Jennifer would've been nominated if El Cantante wasn't torn apart by critics. It still breaks my heart.

And the Academy snubbed her in 1998. Her performance in Selena was pitch perfect.

Movie roles are key! I totally think she can (Reese Witherspoon and Halle Berry got one for crying out loud!) but she has to get back on working with serious roles, good scripts and great directors... they all matter!

In order to win an Oscar she needs to
1. Rebuild her public image because this toy boy Casper thing is making her look like joke an
Voters and peers won't nominate let alone win
2. No more rom coms
3. No more commercials
4. Don't sign up for a 3rd season of AI
5. Tone down the JLO image

When she does that she have a chance


If monique can win JLO can do it

Perhaps, but only if she picked better movie roles.

The JLo persona could work in her favour IMO.

Because of American Idol, America knows her as the girl-next-door, sweet, down-to-earth, innocent, a working single mom, hot, glamourous, etc.


She can now shock everyone with a very bitchy, evil, ugly role - and Im sure the critics will be impressed!!

She does need a great script, a great director, great co-stars and the Weinstein brothers' support though.

hey you long time no see!

i am pretty sure that if she delivered a great performance in an amazing film nobody would care if she promoted a product 5 months earlier, if she judged AI that year or even if she had a dozen of Chippendale dancers in her bedroom... talent is talent.

Hey cutie!  I've been quite busy!

For 3 things i am still furious... Oscars snubbing El Cantante, Grammies snubbing CAUM and Epic snubbing Step into my world! (why? WHY? why didn't they release that song . . . )

I agree with somethings tgat gave already been said on here.

She can, because she has the acting chops , but  another  question, should be, is she interested?

She knows the business, the day that she decides to go for it, we are gonna see it. Right now, she is having a good time, why to bother for it.

She deserve an Oscar playing Selena...

It's been my wish for a long time now. She definitely has what it takes as an actress!!! After almost 9 years of following her, I'm so ready for her to put the necessary time into her acting career to make that happen. It's definitely where my main interest as a fan is at the moment. The music is great, but I'm ready for acting chops.

I think she was snubbed for Out Of Sight. She should have been nominated for Best Supporting Actress. Sadly i don't think critics and members of the Academy will ever take her seriously because of the music career. If it wasn't for the music she would have already been nominated for multiple Golden Globes, SAG, and Critic circles awards by now

She deserve it i dont understand why another actress take one when she doesn't better than JLO : / I feel the envy people is always close to jlo

She should've gotten one for the Selena role but I think she can still get on if she chooses the right movie with a great script

and el cantante smh 

If she completely transformed herself like this:http://www.google.com/img...s:0&tx=61&ty=101  

no because Jennifer Hudson is a singer and didn't know shit about acting and she win a oscar in her 1st movie even over beyonce so  if jennifer Hudson can win an oscar so can jen 

don t know.. but i would love it so much for her to wing oscar ad grammy.. eventough grammy lost credibility in my eyes.. but grammy is a grammy

since 1999 no grammys - no oscar... at this time I don't think so :/

Jennifer Hudson was an up and coming actress when she won for Dreamgirls and Academy members like to reward new comers like Jennifer Lawrence, Anna Kendricks, Saoirse ronan, etc... Besides her music career is much more quiet then Jennifer's so the comparison isn't fair.

Jennifer is not new in the movie industry, she has to gain credibility again so that critics "forgive" her for her bad choices. I don't think one good performance is enough for her to win, her resumé has to be consistant....unless she gives the performance of her life in a critically acclaimed movie ( = great director, great cast, great script, ...)

Never as long as she keeps pumping out those cheesy romantic comedies.
