Friends, can your significant other cheer you up a little better after a disappointing loss? Point them in the direction of Alex Rodriguez, who wrote a five-paragraph tribute on Instagram to Jennifer Lopez (open in new tab), who lost out to Laura Dern for Best Supporting Actress at Sunday's Golden Globe Awards (Dern won for "A Marriage Story"). J.Lo may not have won a trophy for his performance in "The Hustler," but as A-Rod said, "Jen, you don't need a trophy, medal or plaque to identify a true champion." Oh, God! I can't stop crying anymore.

"For the millions of young women who have seen you, been inspired and empowered to do great things with their lives, you are a champion," Rodriguez wrote, along with a photo of Lopez at the awards (by the way, something about her braided updo Did I remind you? He continued, "You are a champion to countless musicians, dancers, actresses, and performers who have witnessed, emulated, and found success with your passion, drive, and work ethic.

"To your children, family, coaches, staff, and extended family, you are a champion," A-Rod concluded. To all those whose lives you enrich every day, you are a champion. Never forget that. My friends, trying not to cry is futile. On Monday mornings, just let the tears flow.

Lopez, understandably, appreciated her fiancé's efforts: she commented, "You are my everything." You are my everything, J.Lo and A-Rod! Please let me attend your wedding
