Lopez's big PCAs honor comes ahead of her upcoming new film Marry Me, which co-stars Maluma and Owen Wilson and hits theaters Valentine's Day 2021. Just last week, Lopez and Maluma dropped two steamy music videos for their Marry Me soundtrack collaborations "Pa Ti" and "Lonely."

J.Lo first broke onto the Hollywood scene in the early ‘90s as a Fly Girl dancer on In Living Color and hasn't stopped entertaining fans since. She became a household name following her first leading film role playing Selena Quintanilla in the 1997 biopic Selena and has continuously proved she's a powerhouse performer over the past 30 years.

From her iconic films (The Wedding Planner, Made in Manhattan, Selena, Hustlers), countless hit songs and music videos ("Jenny From the Block," "I'm Real," "Play," "Let's Get Loud"), world tours, TV appearances and work behind the camera, history-making fashion moments (her green Versace dress at the 2000 Grammys was the reason Google Images search was invented), charity work and activism, Lopez has proved time and time again there's literally nothing she can't do.
