In an interview, Jennifer candidly confessed, “I was really hopeful about this project.” The actress had previously faced criticism for her roles in poorly received films but managed to impress critics with her performance in Hustlers.

Jennifer Lopez recently opened up about her feelings of letdown when she was not nominated for an Oscar for her role in the movie “Hustlers” (2019) in her latest documentary, Halftime. This revelation came as she was spotted in NYC on June 8.
Jennifer took on the role of the leader of the group, although she mainly supported Constance Wu’s main character. According to Justin Chang of the Los Angeles Times, Lopez delivered an incredibly powerful performance, reminiscent of her role in “Out Of Sight,” captivating the audience from the moment she appeared on stage in a stunning rhinestone bodysuit. Michael Phillips of the Chicago Tribune praised her, mentioning that she excelled in her best role in years. Even A. O. Scott of the New York Times, who criticized the film overall, commended Lopez for her energetic performance, combining realism with bold theatrics.
A runaway success: Lopez’s dramedy, inspired by a true story of high-end strippers using cunning tactics on their clients, has been praised as the highlight of her acting career. Lopez is seen alongside Constance Wu in the film “Hustlers”.
Absolutely thrilled: In an interview with Halftime, she confesses that she was constantly reassuring herself, ‘It’s going to happen, we’re going to be recognized,’ and the anticipation kept her up all night before the Oscar nominations were revealed; attributed to her role in Hustlers.
In the movie Halftime, Lopez is depicted shedding tears of happiness while reading a supportive quote from Glamour in bed: ‘It’s truly exciting to witness a talented performer finally receive recognition from esteemed film platforms.’ Despite trying to stay positive and assure herself that good news was on the way, she could hardly contain her excitement the night before the Oscars nominations were announced. Lopez confessed, ‘I had a dream about it,’ revealing her restless pre-announcement night. Regrettably, she missed the early morning reveal of the nominees and only found out after a friend messaged her the disappointing news. Reflecting on the experience, Lopez admitted, ‘I allowed myself to believe that I would be nominated. I let my hopes soar because so many people had encouraged me. But in the end, it just didn’t happen.’
Frustration set in as she shared, “Honestly, I had convinced myself that I would receive a nomination. I let myself believe it because everyone around me was so sure it would happen. But then, when the nominations were announced, I was left disappointed.” This moment was captured on June 5 in Santa Monica, California.
The nominations included Laura Dern, who won for her role as a divorce attorney in Marriage Story, Kathy Bates for Richard Jewell, Scarlett Johansson for Jojo Rabbit, Florence Pugh for Little Women, and Margot Robbie for Bombshell. After facing disappointment, Jennifer reflected on the true motivation behind her work – not for awards or accolades, but to tell stories, inspire change, and connect with others on a deeper level. She emphasized that her true fans value the emotional impact of her work, not the number of awards she has won. In the end, what truly matters is the ability to evoke emotions and inspire others through one’s creative endeavors.
Laura Dern ended up taking home the award for Best Supporting Actress for her role in Marriage Story, but Jennifer reassured herself that her fans are more interested in her work than the trophies she receives.
In another part of the documentary, Jennifer expresses frustration over having to share the stage with Shakira during their 2020 Super Bowl halftime show. She vents about how she believed it was a terrible idea to have two artists headlining the event.
Benny Medina, Jennifer’s manager, also chimed in, stating that it was unusual to have two headliners at the Super Bowl and that typically, one artist leads the show. He felt it was disrespectful to suggest that two Latinas were needed to do the job that one artist could handle.
Despite their initial reservations, Jennifer and Shakira were able to put their differences aside and deliver a memorable performance together.
Feeling disregarded: In a different part of the film, Jennifer expresses her frustration over what she saw as a lack of respect when she had to share the spotlight with Shakira during their joint performance at the 2020 Super Bowl halftime show.
