Oh please, it won't be nominated because no one knew existed, just nobody cared much for it. Did JLo pay for that article?

There wasn't anything that felt truly Oscar worthy about it, though. It was perfectly bland. Nothing stood out as particularly great. It certainly isn't worthy of a Razzie, either. Nothing stood out as particularly bad. Ultimately, nothing stood out at all; it was just fine.

Seconded.
Just remembering you've had an "and"
When you're back to "or"
Makes the "or" mean more than it did before

I agree with everything mentioned above. In retrospect, the accolades the film and its cast received during the film’s festival run sadly intoxicated their brains and it’s quite evident on the countless Q&A panels and Lopez’s endless amounts of interviews and podcast appearances, including the raves everyone was bestowing on her and everyone else. It truly did feel like this was THE project that was finally going to get her the career recognition she so wants. Her delusions that she is vocally up-to-par of Broadway caliber kind of put the nail on the coffin. It’s was the “okay, girl - calm down” moment when it just all went black. After much hype, the film premiered and no one went. Then it quickly disappeared as if the past several months never existed. No one anywhere, until now, has mentioned the film or even the work in it. Everyone, including the cast and crew, has moved on.

It was forgotten while it was still playing in movie theaters.
