10 Amazing 2019 Films That Didn't Get A Single Oscar Nomination
4. Hustlers
This one stings, especially as Jennifer Lopez gave a career-defining performance that gave her frontrunner supporting actress status for a long time.
This film has heart and soul and J-Lo is at the forefront, making this snub an absolute travesty. The Academy just never saw this as an Oscar-worthy film, snubbing one of the most Oscar-worthy performances in recent memory along with it.
Looks can be deceiving, and behind the flashiness and stripper poles, Hustlers is - at its core - a story of friendship, loyalty and betrayal. The chemistry between Lopez and Constance Wu is electrifying, making it a strong tale of female empowerment and ownership, as well as the pitfalls of the culture the women become embroiled in.
The film marked a rare financial success for distributors STX, striking a chord with the general audience. If you missed out on this one, seek it out just for the chance to see Lopez shine like you've never seen her before.
