“I was sad, I was a little sad because there was a lot of buildup to it… Also, I felt like my whole 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, so I felt like I let everyone down a little bit,” explained J.Lo.
Jennifer Lopez still received a lot of praise and numerous other nominations for her supporting role in Hustlers – including Golden Globe and Indie Spirit nods.
The lack of Oscar nomination didn’t hurt her career one bit, and she showcased her talent in front of the whole nation only a week before the ceremony with her explosive Super Bowl halftime show performance.

“I could feel the power of Alicia’s presence even before she belted out the first soulful notes of the lyrics that made her famous — ‘I keep on fallin’ in and out of love with you,’” Winfrey added. “I knew she had all those sparkling qualities that make stars shine. More important, Alicia has navigated the spotlight and pressures of fame while retaining a humble and beautiful spirit. I am honored she chose to share her personal story through my imprint.”

Speaking to her magazine, O, the 63-year-old revealed just what date night in their home entails, saying, “My favorite date night is to make him black-eyed peas and cornbread as a surprise for dinner. That’s all you need. Little black-eyed peas, cornbread. That’s it. Perfect date night: me cooking and then it’s on.”
“I am a really good cook,” she continued. “And the wonderful thing about Stedman is in all the years I’ve been cooking for him, no matter what it is, even if it’s a piece of toast… he is delighted with anything that I make.”

]]>Showrunner Bruce Miller started looking for a way to write a part for Oprah ever since discovering she’s a big fan of The Handmaid’s Tale. He approached her after coming up with the idea that could work and she immediately accepted. Needless to say, working with the Queen of All Media was a lovely and easy process.
“The radio segment she recorded was inspired by the free radio of the Allies from World War II. It was an absolute honor to have Oprah featured on the show, and especially thrilling as she was the one who presented us with the Emmy last year,” said Miller.
Kira Snyder was in charge of working on the script for the latest episode of the hit show. She knew nothing about Oprah’s involvement but was beyond delighted to hear her say the words she’s written. Listening to her voice gave her chills, and fans of The Handmaid’s Tale felt the same way. They’ll probably be anticipating her comeback whenever Offred turns on the radio again.
