JLo ‘devastated’ over Oscars snub – and heartbreak could put Super Bowl at risk
JENNIFER Lopez has been left "devastated" after being snubbed for an Academy Award.
The 50-year-old appeared to be an Oscar favourite, but failed to receive a nomination for her standout role in the movie Hustlers.
And now, a source has revealed how Jennifer's upcoming Super Bowl performance could take a knock-on effect.
The singer is set to perform at the half-time show at Miami's Hard Rock stadium next month.
A source exclusively told The Sun Online: "Jennifer is really upset about missing out on the Oscar nomination.
"She’s a really positive person, but the snub has hit her hard. Alex has been trying to lift her spirits, but friends are worried that she’s lost focus on the Super Bowl performance."
They added: "She’ll kill it, obviously, but she needs to get back to feeling positive before the performance.
"Friends are worried the Oscars thing has knocked her confidence. It’s the last thing she needs weeks before the biggest performance of her life."
This would have been J.Lo's first Academy Award nomination for her role as Ramona, a headstrong stripper.
Wendy Williams has since insisted the star was "robbed" of a nomination as the Academy's "bougie b***hes" are jealous of her.

The host claimed voters were likely see her as more of a singer than an actress, even though she was nominated for a Golden Globe in 1998 for her role in Selena.
She said: "...I think that they think like... You did Selena, but that was so long ago. And now you sing the songs, 'Waiting For Tonight' and what not. Jen, they're jealous of you."
Instead, Laura Dern (Marriage Story), (Bombshell), Florence Pugh (Little Women), Kathy Bates (Richard Jewell) and (Jojo Rabbit) were nominated in the category of Best Supporting Actress.
Wendy believes the singer should respond to the snub by pulling out of her performance altogether.
