Jennifer Lopez recalls Oscar nomination snub for film Hustlers as 'a sting'

Описание: Jennifer Lopez has said she recalls her Oscar nomination snub for her film Hustlers as "a sting".  The singer and actress, 51, won plaudits for her role as veteran stripper Ramona Vega in the crime drama Hustlers in 2019.  Hustlers was based on a true story about a crew of New York strippers who run up the credit cards of drugged rich clients, stock brokers, and wealthy CEOs.  In the subsequent awards season, there was much speculation that Jennifer could win an Oscar for her much-praised performance.  However, Jennifer and the film failed to pick up any nominations at the 92nd Academy Awards.   Speaking to Allure, Jennifer has now reflected on the lack of love for Hustlers at the Oscars.  She said: "I was talking about this the other day.  "[My production partner] Elaine [Goldsmith-Thomas] made a post where she listed all the things I had been nominated for and won that season, and when it came to the Oscars, it was so obviously absent.  Jennifer revealed: "It was a sting."   Despite this, Jennfier did garner nominations at the Golden Globes and Screen Actors Guild awards.  She revealed: "I was like, 'Okay, when you're supposedly in everybody else's mind, supposed to be nominated and you're not, what does that mean? Is it really real? Are the other ones real and this one isn't?'  "It came to a point where I was like, 'This is not why I do this.'  "I don’t do this to have 10 Oscars sitting on my mantel or 20 Grammys.'  "The point is creating and the joy that I get from the things I get to put out in the world that entertain and inspire and empower people."  She confirmed: "I think my life is about more than awards."   Instead the nominees for at the 92nd Academy Awards for Best Supporting Actress were Kathy Bates for Richard Jewell, Scarlett Johansson for Jojo Rabbit, Florence Pugh for Little Women, Margot Robbie for Bombshell, and the eventual winner in the category, Laura Dern for Marriage Story.
