Fans React to Jennifer Lopez’s Oscars Snub: ‘She Deserved to Win This Thing’
On Monday (Jan. 13), the nominations for the 92nd Academy Awards were revealed, and Jennifer Lopez was left out after her performance in Hustlers, which was acclaimed by critics and fans alike.
Many expected Lopez to be nominated for an Oscar this year after her great performance, and as expected, Lopez fans have taken over social media to react to the Academy’s snub.
The reactions range from threats of not wanting to watch the ceremony this year, to feeling disappointed and more.
Check out some of the reactions below.
For me it was okay when they didn't nominate JLo for Selena or El Cantante or any amazing films she had but I WILL NOT FORGIVE OSCARS FOR SNUBBING HER IN HUSTLERS! Now I lose trust in that institution. —

@JLo gave a phenomenal performance that literally only she could give and the lack of an Oscar nomination does not diminish her accomplishments. #OscarNoms pic.twitter.com/WYWQErMoTV

No #Oscars nomination for @JLo??? Hustlers deserves better!!! And no Awkwafina, Greta Gerwig, or Lupita N'yongo? #thisisaproblem

Shame on you #Oscars for not nominating #jlo! She had an Oscar nominated performance and you failed to recognize it. This will be the first time I will not be watching your show. I hope others will follow.

Jennifer Lopez @jlo acted so well in "Hustlers" that the Academy confused her with her movie character and so didn't nominate her for an #Oscar. The only answer. Silly.
