On January 4, JLo, whose divorce was recently finalized, attended the Variety Creative Impact Awards at the Parker Palm Springs Hotel, where she was recognized with the ‘Legend and Groundbreakers’ award. In a full circle moment, she received the award from Ralph Fiennes, her former co-star in Maid in Manhattan.

In a touching, nostalgic moment, Fiennes made a nod to the film they shared in 2002 while announcing the award. “Once upon a time, in another life and perhaps in a different era of film plots, there was a Republican candidate for the Senate wandering around a hotel in Manhattan, and there was also in this same other life a maid in this hotel,” the actor began, referencing the film’s plot.

“This Republican senatorial hopeful was captivated by her good looks, but he couldn’t really see her. This maid was demurely and consciously hiding something. She was sweet and charming, but she was actually hiding something. She was hiding some sort of superpower. Behind this maid’s mask, there was indeed a force, a force of creativity, a force of action, something so powerful that it simply couldn’t be stopped. An unstoppable force was pouring out of this humble, inconspicuous maid at the hotel, and this maid, in fact, possessed extraordinary wings that unfolded, and she flew away,” Fiennes continued.

“But in this life, in this story, she’s already been soaring with determination from a young age, because I think she knows she has something inside of her that she needs to honor as she soars high. She’s honoring and fulfilling her extraordinary creative spirit and sharing it, lighting up so many people’s lives, inspiring them, and brightening their days,” the Conclave actor added.

“Her powerful energy just leaves men kind of behind, and she just takes off. She just takes off,” Fiennes said before inviting JLo on stage, referring to her as an “unstoppable goddess.”
