Jennifer Lopez was heavily buzzed about for an Oscar nomination for her dazzling turn as stripper turned con artist Ramona in the hit film Hustlers.

But when the 52-year-old singer, dancer and actress did not get included on the list, she broke down in tears, adding she felt like she had to rethink her Hollywood career, it was revealed in a teaser for her new Netflix documentary Halftime that was shared on Wednesday.

Also in the clip she is seen cussing before her Super Bowl halftime show saying she wants to do more than shake her ‘ass.’ And another bonus is that her fiancé Ben Affleck is seen commenting on the enormous shaming the former Fly Girl has been hit with over the decades.

The Oscar snub is a big highlight of the clip because it was not known how much being left out affected her.

Lopez sees articles that predict that she will get Oscar nominated for her role as a pole dancer in Hustlers (she was nominated for a Golden Globe Award).

She seems to light up at the possibility of getting that level of recognition and tells a reporter she ‘hopes’ she makes the list.

But then comes the bad news that she did not get nominated in 2020. Instead, the nominees for Best Supporting actress went to Laura Dern in Marriage Story (winner); Kathy Bates in Richard Jewell; Scarlett Johansson in Jojo Rabbit; Florence Pugh in Little Women; and Margot Robbie in Bombshell.

The Best Actress nominees were Renee Zellweger for Judy (winner); Cynthia Erivo for Harriet, Scarlett Johansson for Marriage Story, Saoirse Ronan for Little Women and Charlize Theron for Bombshell.

‘It was hard,’ she says in voice over as she is seen in bed wearing a black robe. ‘I just had a very low self esteem.’

Jennifer is then seen working out in a gym as she says, ‘I had to really figure out who I was and believe in that and not believe in anything else.’

She told Elle in 2021: ‘[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. It was a sting.

‘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.”‘

In her show Halftime, she added that she did not work so hard to get awards, but rather she worked hard so her fans could feel something, so they could connect with her.

The clips opens with Jennifer sweating in a crop top and leggings with little makeup on and her hair pulled back as she rehearses with her back up dancers.

She shows off a rare tough side as she tells her dancers she kicks up her heels while thinking about what the camera will see.

Lopez comes off as hyper driven and focused.

Then tabloid covers are flashed on the screen that claim she is tough.

Billy Bush is also seen asking her about her larger than normal butt, to which she says, ‘You did not just ask me that?’ He says yes with a straight face.

Lopez seemed to expect more from entertainment reporter Bush who is the cousin of former President George W Bush.

And Jimmy Kimmel is seen on his late night show saying Lopez can’t sing.

‘I’ve lived in the public eye and I really believed a lot of what they said,’ she is heard saying in the clip before a man is heard calling her a ‘diva’ and ‘serial bride.’

Later Affleck is seen for a sit down interview for Halftime where he says he asked Lopez how she deals with all the bad press, all the trolls, and all the people who underestimate her.

‘I asked her, doesn’t this bother you?’ shared the Oscar winner.

He then shared that she told him, ‘I expected this.’

A look at her preparation for the Super Bowl halftime show appears very stressful.

Lopez says she feels like she is getting pressed and then she adds, ‘I am trying to give you something of substance not just us out there shaking our f**king asses.’

The Bronx born beauty then gets firm: ‘I want something real.’

She adds, ‘My whole life I have been battling to be heard, to be seen, to be taken seriously.’

Also in the fast-paced teaser she says that she feels like her life is only just beginning.

The star does have a lot planned.

She is set to wed her former fiancé Affleck possibly this year. And she has a new movie The Mother with Gael Garcia Bernal. The synopsis reads: ‘While fleeing from dangerous assailants, an assassin comes out of hiding to protect her daughter she left earlier in life.’

And Lopez will produce a limited edition series for Cinderella.

The Halftime feature is directed by Amanda Micheli, a documentarian whose previous work includes Vegas Baby, which followed contestants in a YouTube competition where the prize was an IVF round at a Las Vegas clinic free of charge.

Her new movie with Jennifer will premiere at opening night of the Tribeca Film Festival on June 8 before dropping on Netflix June 14.
