The Hustlers star won the Spotlight Award, Actress for her role in the drama. Her director Lorene Scafaria presented her with the prestigious award. "Jennifer changed the face of movie stardom.

"You know I’ve been in this business for awhile — maybe longer than I'd like to admit. I’ve had the great privilege of working with great directors. There was something that spoke to me about this role," Jennifer continued. "This was a film written, directed, produced, edited, set designed by women, about women, starring women. So, to all the talented women out there — support one another. Remember no is not an answer. It's an opportunity."
