Jennifer Lopez spoke about not being nominated for an Academy Award for her role in the 2019 movie “Hustlers.
” She admitted that she was sad and felt like she let everyone down.
“I was a little sad because there was a lot of buildup to it,” the 50-year-old star told Oprah Winfrey at the media mogul’s 2020 Vision: Your Life In Focus Tour on Saturday.
“I got so many good notices, more than ever in my career,” she said. “And I’m reading all the articles and I’m going, ‘Oh my God, could this happen?’ And then it didn’t and it was like, ‘Ouch.’ It was a bit of a letdown.”
“Most of my team has been with me for years,” she said. “I think they had a lot of hopes on that. They wanted it too, and I felt like I let everybody down a little bit.”
“But you didn’t!” replied Winfrey, as Lopez told that while she knew that wasn’t really the case, “I felt like that for a bit.”
Lopez might have snubbed by the Oscars but she realized that she doesn’t need this award to tell her she is enough.
She said: “I needed to go through the Oscar snub, the Super Bowl being, you know, what it is all of the things that I went through in the last year. Oh my God, I don’t need that. I’m actually here and I am okay and I am enough. I don’t need this award right here to tell me I’m enough.
I don’t need it.’ ”
During the chat with Winfrey, Lopez also joked about how familiar her fiancé Alex Rodriguez was with strip clubs before she signed the movie.
“Alex couldn’t have been more fine with it,” she said. “Listen, these sports guys, they know a strip club or two. Let’s be real. He was helping me with the movie.”
“He was like, ‘just so you know, the guys go in through the back doors and they do this,’ and I was like, ‘Really? You seem to know a lot about this,’ ” she added.
