Jennifer Lopez Shared Her Thoughts on Her Oscar Snub

Jennifer Lopez is finally opening up about the snub heard around the world after the Academy Awards failed to recognize her with a nomination for her role in Hustlers.

During in interview with Oprah Winfrey on Saturday, she admitted feeling disappointed.

"I was a little sad because there was a lot of buildup to it," she said, according to Variety. There were so many articles. I got so many good notices — more than ever in my career — and there was a lot of ‘She’s going to get nominated for an Oscar. It’s going to happen; if she doesn’t, you’re crazy.’ I’m reading all the articles going, ‘Oh my god, could this happen?’ And then it didn’t and I was like, ‘Ouch.’ It was a little bit of a letdown.”

In the run-up leading to the Oscars, it was widely believed that her buzzed-about performance in Hustlers could garner the actress and singer her first-ever Oscar nomination. After all, she got nearly every other nomination, from a Golden Globe nod to a Film Independent Spirit Awards nomination.

And not only was Lopez herself feeling the letdown — she felt like she had disappointed everyone on her team.

"Most of my team has been with me for years — 20, 25 years — and I think they had a lot of hopes on that and they wanted it, too," she said. "So I felt like I let everyone down a little bit."

Honestly, the only people who should feel like they let anyone down was the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.
