[group] ♪ Happy birthday, dear Jennifer ♪
[Jennifer] Look at you!
[group] ♪ Happy birthday to you ♪
[Jennifer] Oh wow!
Make a wish. Make a wish!
[group cheering]
It doesn't feel any different than any other birthday.
-[man] Right. -For those of you who aren't here yet.
[group laughing]
I really feel like my life is just beginning.
[group cheering]
[group applauding]
[pensive music continues]
[girl] What?
Where are you?
Let's go.
-Bye, guys. We'll see you in a little bit. -[woman] See you.
[crowd cheers]
[announcer] The most anticipated and celebrated unofficial holiday
in America is finally here.
In front of more than 150 million viewers,
it is Super Bowl LIV, and it is live.
[crowd cheering]
[announcer] The halftime star is already here, Jennifer Lopez.
We're in for a treat tonight.
[Jennifer] This year, I turn 50.
So many important things have happened to me.
And all of them have led me right here
to this moment.
[man over radio] We're at a two-minute warning, guys.
[Jennifer] My whole life, I've been battling and battling
to be heard…
[crowd cheering]
…to be seen…
to be taken seriously.
And now I have this incredible opportunity
to show the world who I am.
How do I represent all of the things that matter to me?
[dramatic music playing]
The world is listening.
What am I gonna say?
[crowd continues cheering]
[Jennifer] Miami, are you ready?
[cheering fades]
[Jennifer] When I was a little girl, it was always ingrained in my head
that I wasn't the singer.
My sister's the singer, and my other sister was the smart one.
I was either the athlete or the dancer. [chuckles]
So I wasn't smart or could sing.
[laughing] Right?
In my mind, always has, whenever anybody asked me,
"Can you sing?" I'd go, "No."
♪ I'm gonna get up! I'm gonna get out! ♪
♪ I'm gonna get up, get out, and do it! ♪
[Jennifer] When I was growing up, my mom was very into musicals.
[dramatic music playing]
I always felt, from a very young age,
that the singing, dancing, acting combination
was something that I wanted to do.
Because I lived in the Bronx, and it was very kind of like brick
and gray and brown,
I loved the kind of escape into the musical world.
[snapping fingers rhythmically]
I would probably say West Side Story was my favorite of all time.
It made New York and those barrio neighborhoods
feel vibrant and beautiful.
[lively music playing]
[Jennifer] I always looked up to Rita Moreno.
Seeing someone like me up there was so rare.
♪ You forget I'm in America ♪
[all shouting, laughing]
[Jennifer] I wanted to be like her. I wanted to be on that stage too.
I fell in love with dance,
and it totally distracted me from any type of school.
My mom was like, "If you're gonna live in this house,
you're gonna get your education."
So we got into a bad fight one night… and I just left.
I was 18.
[dance music playing]
I was a gypsy from the minute I left my mom's house.
I did little gigs around town.
They would hire dancers for like 25, 50 dollars.
One of the auditions that came up was Fly Girl on In Living Color.
[man] From boogie down Bronx, Jennifer Lopez.
[crowd cheers]
[Jennifer] I went from being a dancer to taking acting classes.
I remember I couldn't even get anybody to represent me as an actor.
I was like, "No, I'm an actor! Seriously, I'm an actress!" [chuckles]
They're like, "You're a dancer." I'm like, "No."
"I'm an actress." [laughs]
-[Jennifer] Hi. -[boy] Hi.
-[chuckles] -[boy] Oh, gross!
Oh, lipstick, I hate lipstick.
-[man laughs] -[Jennifer] I don't wanna be too made-up.
-Skin, like clear. -[man] Yeah.
Let's be honest. I'm playing a lot younger than myself.
When I got Hustlers, it was exciting.
It was gritty. It had substance.
That's something that I fought for in my career.
[woman] You're gonna like this pole a lot.
-This is your pole? -This is my pole.
So it's a little older, but it has a coating on it.
-Okay. -It's really easy to hold onto.
[woman] So it'll be easy for training purposes.
[Jennifer] This is a film about women who had limited options
and had to make hard choices.
These characters remind me of women I knew growing up in the Bronx.
-Whoo! -[woman] There you go.
Nice, nice, nice. Straighten that left leg. Yep.
You're gonna release. Yes, that's enough.
Put your hands down on the floor. Take that other leg off, and you're there.
Ouch. [sighs deeply]
-It's super painful. -[woman laughs]
Because it's… like, it is a crash course.
I've never been bruised like this for anything I've done.
[pensive music playing]
[indistinct chattering]
Hustlers was an insanely difficult project to set up.
It's a complicated story about power and greed
and a group of diverse women
who wanted their piece of the American dream.
And it almost didn't get made.
-[costume director] Here we go, guys. -I want this to be a moment.
[Jennifer] Hollywood is run by men.
[man] And action, everybody.
They have ideas about what's gonna sell and what's not gonna sell and…
We're trying to change that.
[indistinct chattering]
[Jennifer] As a producer, one of my goals is to make movies that entertain people
but that also have something to say.
No, baby, this game is rigged.
And it does not reward people who play by the rules.
You either gotta stand in the corner or get in the ring.
[pensive music playing]
I think it's especially hard to get movies made about women
doing questionable things.
Wanted to empathize with kind of all of us
who are up against this broken value system
and show these women in a different light.
Having all women on the set, it's definitely a different experience.
Not something that happens every day in Hollywood.
I've done 40 movies, something like that,
and it's never happened.
[host] Toronto International Film Festival is where many Oscar races begin.
There have been many, many films garnering attention this week,
but there's one…
We've been anticipating the release of Hustlers…
That's my favorite of all of the outfits. Just feels so, like, movie star.
What are we talking about for the premiere?
-[Jennifer] I like the yellow. -[man] You like the yellow? Oh wow, good.
[crowd clamoring]
[woman] It's day three of the festival, and we are here
at the world premiere of Hustlers.
[crowd cheering]
[Jennifer] When you work on something from its inception,
you don't give up on it, and then people finally get to see it.
It's nerve-racking, but we know we have something good.
[crowd cheering, applauding]
[inaudible]
[crowd continues cheering]
[woman] How does it feel, mama?
[crowd chanting] J.Lo! J.Lo! J.Lo!
[FaceTime ringing]
-Hey, baby, you were trying to call me? -[Elaine] Listen to Vanity Fair.
"Jennifer Lopez dominates in a quintessentially American story."
Rotten Tomatoes says Hustlers' first review is,
"Jennifer Lopez is Oscar-worthy."
[man] Oscar!
-[laughs] -[man] You skipped by that one, Elaine.
[all cheering]
[woman] We're ready, honey.
-We're on the way to the Oscar. -Stop!
-[woman] Si! [chuckling] -You're making me nervous.
[rhythmic music playing]
-Tom Hanks! -Tom Hanks!
-[indistinct shouting] -I don't have any lip gloss.
Am I allowed to stand over there?
[women] Yeah!
[rhythmic music continues]
I'm on a group text. My mom, my dad.
-[man chuckles] -Mm-hmm.
-And my two sisters. -[man] Yeah.
"Happy Sunday, guys. Go Jets! Love you always." Dad.
"Good morning." Leslie.
"Woo-hoo." Lupe.
"I have my Jets jersey on. I'm rooting on my team. Go Jets."
Leslie. "Jets--" That was my mom.
"Jets, Jets, Jets."
Linda. "Hi, Dad."
"Hi, everybody. Go Jets."
"Jen had her film premiere last night for Hustlers in Toronto."
"And look at what they're saying." And she sent that thing there.
My dad goes, "Whoa, that's awesome. Make it happen."
My mother goes, "Yeah, just recovered a fumble. Go Jets."
[man chuckles]
"We need a freaking kicker."
Leslie. "Yeah. Stephen called the missed extra point."
Lupe. "I did too."
I'm just gonna write, "Go Jets."
[man, woman laughing]
[dramatic music playing]
[reporter 1] The NFL facing backlash in the wake of player protest
after quarterback Colin Kaepernick sparked a movement.
The president arguing that NFL owners should get together
and do something about NFL players
that kneel down during the national anthem.
[Trump] Wouldn't you love to see one of these NFL owners
to say, "Get that son of a bitch off the field"?
[crowd applauding]
[Sanchez] He says that this is purely about people respecting the flag.
To many of the players, this is about race.
[reporter 1] The ongoing controversy taking a toll
on last year's Super Bowl halftime show.
[reporter 2] The league says, "The artists will let their show do the talking."
It was clear that the NFL was having public image concerns
about racial representation.
So the commissioner brought in Roc Nation to advise.
It was actually really late for them to pick a performer.
So it was weird. Something weird was happening.
Do you plan to be in Miami for the Super Bowl this year?
I don't know. I don't know anything yet.
There's a rumor that you might perform at the halftime show.
Yeah. [laughs]
[audience cheers]
The Super Bowl is the biggest stage in entertainment. Period, bar none.
This is something I have been working for and hoping for for years.
[host] Are you performing at the Super Bowl this year?
[chuckles]
Okay, if you… if you don't wanna answer…
I don't know. I don't know.
[Hoda Kotb] Okay! That was not a "no."
[Jennifer] This is gonna be the year. It's in Miami. They want a Latina.
And it looked like I was the front-runner.
[reporter 3] After months of rumors, it was confirmed that Jennifer Lopez
will perform the Super Bowl halftime show in February.
But the twist that no one saw coming is she'll be joined by Shakira.
[crowd cheering, applauding]
[Benny] Typically, you have one headliner at a Super Bowl.
That headliner constructs the show.
Um, and should they choose to have other guests,
that's their choice.
It was an insult to say you needed two Latinas
to do the job that one artist historically has done.
Let me get… let me get that little handkerchief.
[Benny] Jamie called me again this morning…
-[Jennifer] Uh-huh. -…and said that Shakira had called.
And she was, uh, very sort of up
and very open to the idea of the… of the double intro
and had a couple of ideas she actually really wants to throw out--
The more we can kind of, like, know what each other's thinking…
[Benny] Yeah.
…the easier it's gonna be and the more at ease we'll both be.
-[Shakira] Hello. -[Jennifer] Hi, baby. How are you?
[Shakira] Good, good. Are you working?
I did a night shoot last night, so I'm just waking up.
-[laughs] -[Shakira] Oh my God.
I don't know how you do it.
Listen, I know that the Super Bowl people want us to be weaved throughout the show.
I haven't had a confirmation about how many minutes I'm gonna have.
Okay. Okay, let me address that really quick. They said 12 minutes.
I got kind of a good confirmation that…
[chuckles] …we could have an extra minute or two.
So now we're at, like, 13, 14 minutes.
I think, Shakira, what we should have is you should have half the time, and I--
[Shakira] 13, 14 minutes between the two of us?
-No-- Yeah-- -[Shakira] In general? Ah, okay. Yeah.
For the whole show.
If it was gonna be a double headliner, they should've given us 20 minutes.
[laughs] You know what I mean? That's what they should've fucking done.
There's an amazing opportunity here
to show who we are as performers
but also show who we are as a community and also show the--
Bring the world together.
We can bring everybody together in this moment.
[pensive music playing]
There's a lot at stake for me as a Super Bowl performer.
You get to not just show people what you do as an artist,
but you also have this opportunity to say something bigger.
You write so many songs about love.
-[Jennifer] Oh Lord. -How many?
-All of them are about love. -[Hoda] All of them. Yeah.
Some people write about politics and social issues and-- [laughs]
[Hoda] No, thank you.
[Jennifer] I'm not into politics. I'm not that person,
but I was living in a United States that I didn't recognize.
I was afraid for my kids, for their future.
[crowd] Build that wall!
Build that wall!
[crowd] No more walls!
This wall is just another way for him to try to divide the country.
[Trump] They're bringing drugs.
They're bringing crime.
They're rapists.
This is a flat-out invasion.
Inside this old warehouse, the US Customs and Border Patrol
is keeping hundreds of immigrant children in cages
created by metal fencing.
The cages. The image of the cages for me…
I couldn't believe what I was watching.
[reporter] Every adult who comes into the country illegally
is sent to see a judge for possible prosecution.
And that is when the parent is separated from the child.
[Jennifer] You don't rip a child from their parents.
There's just certain things as a human being you don't do.
What is my message, and what do I stand for?
It made me realize that I have a responsibility to not be quiet,
to not… just leave the politics to everybody else.
"This year's Super Bowl halftime show is a statement to a divided country,
declaring the importance of kindness, inclusivity, and compassion,
a reminder that we're always stronger, always better together."
"Shakira and Jennifer together for the first time in Miami
to craft a powerhouse performance that does just that."
I told her to start thinking about what she wants that last song to be.
She wasn't crazy about "Born in the USA."
I'm not 100% convinced, so I couldn't convince her.
She's like, "I wasn't born in the USA."
I said, "Yeah, but everybody loves to sing that song."
And when America is at its best, everybody wants to live in America.
You also have the right to come here because we're a country of immigrants.
That's who we are.
Bruce Springsteen, white American, saying to me…
♪ She was born in the-- ♪
And I was, and I'm Latin.
That's… that's big. That's big.
Because these motherfuckers act like everybody's an immigrant
who's trying to sneak into the country and who's a criminal.
'Cause that's the narrative Trump created, which is bullshit.
Some of us have been here for years.
A lot of those people are just good people who are looking for the American dream.
That's all they want.
But like I told her, I said if you come up with a better song and a better cameo
to make the statement that we shouldn't be hating on each other…
-[man] Yeah, the statement's ready. -…that's the statement.
-[Elaine] Mm-hmm. -That's the statement.
My parents came from Puerto Rico to New York when they were just kids.
Everybody thought there was a better life here.
Just… get on a train and come down here with all my big dreams
and just… try to make 'em come true.
[rhythmic music playing]
Having the upbringing I had, not growing up, like, around the business,
I know what it is to get up and, you know, get on a train
and work hard.
[rhythmic music continues]
Coming from the Latino community
and coming from nothing,
we've had to push harder than the normal person.
We've had to work harder. We have to prove ourselves over and over.
-Happy Thanksgiving. -Morning. Happy Thanksgiving.
-I'm good. How are you? -Happy Thanksgiving.
[man] On the bottom.
[dog barking]
Linda!
Do something with your dog… that you didn't tell me you were bringing.
I'm the one who does the stuffing. Uh…
My ex-husband always did the turkey.
I figure about 48 years. I'm doing the same turkey all this time, so…
Me and my dad usually cook Thanksgiving dinner.
-[Lupe] I taught them how to do it. -My mom doesn't like to cook.
[Lupe] Hey, I need to taste that to see if it's good.
-[Jennifer] Let me mix this some more. -It's good. It's good.
Take a potato.
-[woman] It's good. -[David] And then you turn it down.
Too vinegary.
-No. -Yeah.
-No. -Yes, baby.
No. It's delicious.
[in Spanish] Too much vinegar.
[in English] Too much vinegar.
How ironic.
Growing up,
I was surrounded by strong,
powerful,
tough women.
My mom and my grandmother and my aunt, they ran shit. That was it.
They just… they were in charge.
[Lupe] David and I moved to the Bronx.
It was a fourth-floor walk-up,
and it only had one bedroom.
I had my three daughters in that apartment.
My mom, she's a super complicated person, and she carries a lot of baggage.
Her generation was,
"A man will come along and marry you and take care of you
for the rest of your life and provide for you."
And she had a lot bigger dreams than that.
She dreamt of being an actress.
She wanted us to be independent.
Like, "I don't want you guys to ever have to depend on a man for anything."
I always had the highest expectations of them.
It wasn't to be critical.
It was just to show you that you could do better.
And Jennifer, she gave me the hardest time, tell you the truth.
You know, we butted heads a lot.
[Jennifer] She did what she had to do to survive,
and it made her strong,
but it also made her tough.
She beat the shit out of us.
[Lupe] I was far from the perfect mother, but the one thing I can always say,
everything I did, I did with their best interest at heart.
Everybody sit. Everybody sit anywhere you want.
[Lupe] I'm glad that she's strong and tough
because you have to be to survive in this business.
I'm really grateful for my mom and dad
because they taught me to do everything on my own.
And I live with those voices in my head.
As a young performer,
every job that I got I did
because there were so many in between that I didn't get.
Good roles for women of color were very limited,
but I just kept grinding and believing
that somehow, someway, I would get that shot.
[man] I'd like to thank all of you for coming here.
This is a really extraordinary event.
Uh, I have the great pleasure of introducing to you Jennifer Lopez.
[photographer] Jennifer!
[Jennifer] Selena was a Tejano singer and a beloved artist
with an amazing stage presence of a superstar.
And, unfortunately, at 23 years old,
she was gunned down by the head of her fan club.
It's important to the Latino community because we haven't had
any big role models in Hollywood.
Not huge that have crossed such barriers like she did in our Latin community.
[singing "Cumbia Medley"]
[man] Selena, it's a very entertaining and moving film,
helped by a luminous performance by Jennifer Lopez
who shows an onstage exuberance that quickly wins her lots of fans.
You're not. Do you know who you are?
I can see you.
You're just Chris.
You say it's star-making. It may well be. She is absolutely enchanting in this role.
[fans screaming]
[interviewer] You have broken the financial barrier
for Latina actresses.
You're making a million dollars a picture, breaking a cultural barrier in Hollywood.
That's a big deal.
I know. It's a huge deal. I feel like I struck oil this year. [laughs]
Remember how talkative you were in the trunk?
Mm-hmm.
Adele said you do that when you're nervous.
Oh, she did, did she?
[Jennifer, in character] You kept touching me, feeling my thigh.
Jennifer Lopez. That's what we've got. That's what makes it sizzle, Jennifer.
[Jennifer] My idea of success is always evolving,
always getting a little outside your comfort zone
and doing something different.
I'm working on my album right now.
-[host] Excuse me? -Yeah.
-Casually mention that. You have an album? -Yeah.
-Can you… can you do both? -I'm gonna try to balance them both…
She always had a great passion for singing.
And after Selena, she wanted to make music.
I was like, why… why can't we do the things?
Why can't we do all the things? [laughs]

["Waiting for Tonight" continues]
[Elaine] She's a dancer,
who became an actor,
who became a singer,
who became a global icon.
She's a woman of color
who had the audacity to pursue her dreams.
[dramatic music playing]
[reporter 1] In these trying economic times,
Jennifer Lopez has taken the art of diva
to new heights.
[host] J.Lo from the block. Jenny from the block.
Sister needs to keep it real, and she's no longer keeping it real.
[reporter 2] The revolving door that is Jennifer Lopez's love life.
[reporter 3] Hollywood's best known serial bride
is at it again.
She was a name that could sell papers, that could sell magazines.
[reporter 4] What accounts for her roller-coaster history with guys?
[crowd clamoring]
[Jennifer] No matter what I achieved, their appetite to cover my personal life
overshadowed everything that was happening in my career.
I just had a very low self-esteem.
I really believed a lot of what they said, which is I wasn't any good.
That I wasn't a good singer, I wasn't a good actress,
I wasn't a good dancer, I wasn't good at anything.
I just didn't even belong here. Why wouldn't I just go away?
I feel like I was in this, like, really abusive dysfunctional relationship.
When you're with a guy who tells you, "No, you suck,
you're not good, you're dah, dah, dah," you feel you have no worth and value.
If I was in front of Jennifer Lopez and she said, "You can't sing,"
I'd go, "Neither can you!"

We want to thank you for all your hard work and "talent."
[man] I said to her once, "Doesn't this bother you?"
And she said, "I'm Latina. I'm a woman."
"I… I expected this. You just don't expect it."
"You expect to be treated fairly."
Here to apologize on their behalf are our script intern, Elon,
who kind of looks like Ben Affleck, and our resident J.Lo, cleaning lady,
Judy Lowenstein.
[audience cheering, applauding]
[Jennifer] There was many times where I was just, like,
"I just… I think I'm just gonna quit."
I had to… really figure out who I was
and believe in that and not believe anything else.
[reporter] Jennifer Lopez might be nominated as best actress.
And the reason that this is news is because, rather cruelly,
she has ten Golden Raspberry nominations to her name.
So they're saying that she might be able to make it all back
by getting an actual Oscar nomination.
[crowd clamoring]
[host] We have a true superstar to bring out, who's making headlines
for her latest role starring in the movie Hustlers.
Please welcome the one and only Jennifer Lopez!
[audience cheering, applauding]
Okay. So you got the standing O when you walked in.
-Right! -The movie…
-The movie.
…is getting great reviews, and it must be so gratifying to you
because you not only star in the movie, you produced the movie as well.
I did. This was a real labor of love. It took us a minute to get it made.
[upbeat music playing]
We knew it would be a fun ride for people and an enjoyable movie.
And also a movie that makes you think.
It goes deeper than what you think it does.
I realized there was a lot riding on me with this role.
It was a controversial project and a risky part for me.
This was the first time in a long time
that I was actually terrified
doing that opening number.
I remember thinking, like, even though that's scary,
I perform in front of 30,000 people all the time. Three hundred is nothing.
This was the first role where there was no hiding
any part of myself.
And I had to get up on this stage, not like I do at my concerts
with tights and sparkly things on and all that. [laughs]
'Cause I wear sexy costumes. It's not about that. It was different.
-[woman] B mark. -[man] And action, everybody.
[Jennifer] It was a bearing of not just yourself physically
but emotionally as well.
[men cheering]
[reviewer] It's really, I think, the best work
she's done since, like, 2002.
She had such a great period of films up to that point.
[both grunt]
A fucking light bulb went off in your head?
[breathing shakily]
And now you're realizing that… you and me ain't good together?
[reviewer] Seeing this, we're like, "Oh yeah, I think I forgot
what made her such a movie star in the first place."
[men cheering, applauding]
[speaking indistinctly]
[man] Make your mark.
[Jennifer] The crazy thing about my life right now
is all these things that I've been dreaming of doing
my whole career are all happening at once,
like an avalanche.
[uplifting music playing]
[host] Critics are predicting
that you could get your first Oscar nomination.
[all cheering]
What are we doing now, Variety?
[woman] Variety, and then we have W Magazine.
Am I over here?
I don't think I'm funny, so I'm always like…
[laughing]
No, you just-- I don't.
Do you need an earring that says, "I fight other women"?
Do you wanna wear bracelets but on the sides of your head?
Then you need…
[both] Hoops!
[audience applauding]
[man] Cut!
One more time? This has gotta be perfect.
Because I do so many things
and I'm really involved in all the decision-making,
sometimes it gets to be too much.
Let me just get one more chance on my verse, for fuck's sake. [laughs]
[man] Okay. And let's get playback from the beginning.
-[boy] Hi. -I love you, baby.
Let me finish this, and I'll call you right after, okay?
-Hi, baby. -[boy] Hi, Mommy.
[Jennifer] Heard you've been having nightmares, baby.
I'm gonna see you in the morning. Maybe we can talk a little bit, okay?
-[sneezes] -[man] I've never seen you sick.
Mm-mm. And you won't.
Even when I'm sick, you won't know I'm sick.
[doctor] Say "ah."
Ah.
[doctor] One of the times we did this, you actually had a strep throat.
-Not this time. -[doctor] Oh.
-[Jennifer] This will be fun. -[doctor] Mmm.
-Give me one big "ah." -Ah.
-[doctor] Got it. -[gags]
What do you think it is?
[doctor] Well, I think you've got an upper respiratory.
Maybe we should start you on something now.
-[Jennifer] Whatever you think. -Let me check the--
[Jennifer] I've been a little depressed. I'm not gonna lie.
I think that took my immune system down.
I've just been working long hours, and I'm away from the kids.
It all just makes me a little bit sad.
[doctor] Well, you've got three and a half full-time careers.
-Yeah. -[doctor] So it's not only one of those.
Something's got to change, Dr. Sugerman.
Next year. I'm transitioning slowly.
-[doctor] Can I remind you in a year? -[Jennifer] Please.
-No, you can remind me at Christmas. -Okay.
-Did you see my movie? -I haven't seen a movie in two years.
You have to go see Hustlers. It's a big hit.
[doctor] I'll take my wife.
-[Jennifer] Go see it. It's fun. -Okay.
It's a little dirty story, but you'll like it.
-I'm 70 years old. It doesn't matter. -[both laugh]
-[man] Okay, uh, we're good. -[Jennifer] Okay. Ready.
[man] Mm-hmm.
-[Jennifer] Where am I? Here? -[woman] Yes, in here.
-[Jimmy] What a year you've had. -It's been amazing.
-I mean, you… you turned 50. -Amazing.
-I did. Yeah. -[Jimmy] You had, uh, Hustlers…
-[laughs] -[audience cheers]
[Jimmy] You had Hustlers open up to amazing reviews.
Hustlers opened, good.
-You had… did a sold-out tour. -Tour, good.
I saw the tour. It was unbelievable!
[audience cheers]
You were asked to perform the halftime show!
-I know! -Oh, come on now! What a year!
[audience cheers]
[Jimmy] It's you and Shakira. How much time do you have to…
Halftime is like 29 minutes exactly,
so they have to put up the stage, we perform and then take down the stage.
So you wind up having anywhere between, like, 12 and 14 minutes.
And so we're probably gonna split that between us
and then have some great guests, hopefully,
and, you know, things like that.
-[Jimmy] It's a big deal. -[Jennifer] Thank you.
[audience cheering, applauding]
[Jennifer] Five, six, set it, go.

Then we'll plan in that four-to-five-minute piece
a little finale where Shakira can come out.

[calm music playing]
This alone is four minutes. [laughs]
I know. I know, but I… I… I've got to… to figure it out.
We've got six minutes.
[woman] I've been working with Jennifer for eight years now.
And when she said, "I'm gonna be doing the halftime at the Super Bowl,"
the first thing… [chuckles] …of course, that comes to my head is,
how am I editing all of these hits? [chuckles]
We have six fucking minutes.
We have 30 seconds of a song if we want.
And if we take a minute, that's it.
-We got five left. -Yeah.
But there's got to be certain songs that we sing, though.
You know what I mean? We have to have our singing moments.
It's not gonna be a dance fucking revue.
-[Kim] Right. So-- -Like, we have to sing our message.
I get a feel of it now when you say six minutes.
This is the worst idea in the world, to have two people do the Super Bowl.
It was the worst idea in the world.
I just need my J.Lo moment. I know…
-[Jennifer] Which one? -I need to…
There's hip-hop J.Lo, funk J.Lo, Latin J.Lo.
[Kim] Latin J.Lo, and it was something else… J.Lo.
-And Mama J.Lo. -[Kim] Mama, that's what it is.
-"Shoot me down, but I can't fall" J.Lo. -[Kim chuckles] Okay.
"You try to write me off, but I ain't going no motherfuckin' where" J.Lo.
[Kim] Here's why.
Okay.
"I'm still standing" J.Lo.

I just woke up.
[Elaine] I've been blowing you up since 5 a.m.
-5 a.m.? -[Elaine] Yeah, that was when the--
Oh, it was 8 o'clock New York time, they do it?
[Elaine] 8 o'clock New York time.
I thought it was 8 o'clock LA time. I thought it wasn't until 11.
I… I've been, like, weeping and then trying to wake you the fuck up.
You're a Golden Globe nominee again!
Yeah.
-[Elaine] I mean, it just feels-- Fuck! -It only took 20 years.
-[Elaine] Fuck! I love you. -[laughs]
-I'm so proud of you. -[Jennifer] I love you.
[Jennifer] Hi, guys.
[group cheering, applauding]
Let's go, mama!
-Is this how big the stage is? -Yeah, it is. Yes, this is the stage and…
-Mm-hmm. -Okay.
That's good.
[woman laughs]
This is the runway?
I told you that's not good enough.
It's the creation process.
You can liken it to a painter doing a painting
and how they get all the, you know, stuff under their nails,
and it's on their face and…
It's the same thing when I'm creating a show.
And he was making everything in proportion.
That runway, that runway, that runway.
[Jennifer] It's not always pretty,
but I'm always clear about what I want the end to be.
I don't even know what this is.
-This format? As a set design… -Yes! What the hell is this?
[Tabitha] This is 12 feet.
I don't care if they have to cut this shit in half with a saw
and add this and make it the proportion that we need.
-That's what they gotta do. -[Benny splutters]
What are you supposed to do on that runway?
[Benny] Yeah. [chuckles]
Not a damn thing.
When I'm in the creation part of the show,
it's messy, and it's passionate,
and it's visceral, and I'm looking for a feeling.
I'm looking for it to feel like something and look like something
and sound like something and be perfect in every moment to moment to moment.
[dancer] Go back… Snap!
One, two, three, four, five, boom.
And we were wondering how many more bodies to put in it.
So now we'll get to see it in this configuration. If it goes smaller…
-This is 20 people. -[Tabitha] This is 20 people.
I feel like we should do something to finish that moment.
Cut, boom, boom. ♪ From the Bronx, New York ♪
We should try something to just finish that sentence.
Let's remove it first, and then let's try that.
When it comes to creating a performance like this,
execution is everything.
You can have great choreography and great costumes,
but it's about how you pull it all together.
And so the details are everything.
She wants it to be perfect.
Okay, ready? Five, six, seven. Up.
-Oh! [laughs] Sorry. -Sorry, my bad.
It doesn't need that much of a hole. Just try it.
[Parris] Eight. Cut. Cut.
-[laughs] You made that look so easy. -[woman] Really?
-Yeah. -It is easy.
-Kinda. -[dancers laughing]

-Bye, guys. -[woman] I love you!
[Jennifer] We got Hamish and Bruce on the line.
Let me just throw out all the ideas,
then you guys can come back and tell me how you think we could do them.
This girl from the Bronx and this girl from Barranquilla
somehow land on this stage, somehow.
And here we are to represent
our culture, our music, and women everywhere.
We were thinking maybe a great moment would be to have
these fantastic little girl dancers I just met along with hundreds
of other girls in light cages.
A choir of little girls on the field singing.
What you want, a feeling of these Latinos in cages,
and you can't keep us there.
-We won't… we won't have that. -[Ricky] Right.
The concept is this next generation is not gonna be suppressed
in the way we were.
You know what I mean? And that's… that's the idea.
[Tabitha] There's the floor plan with the circle center and the runways.
We just wanna get that woman symbol up at the front, I think.
It's got to be subtle.
We have to be subtle with our message
because people don't want to be hit over the fucking head with it.
[Ricky] Hamish, you got something?
[Hamish] I mean, I'm gonna be probably contentious now,
but the only thing within it that isn't subtle and is contentious,
given everything that's going on with identity politics at the moment,
is the female symbol.
I think that that could be reviewed by some people
as being actually exclusive.
I think also it seems to be a little bit on the nose
and something that might have been done at the Super Bowl a while back.
It doesn't seem to have the artistry…
I understand the meaning behind it, but I think what you're saying
within the show is way more powerful than having that symbol out there.
Huh. I thought you were gonna say the cages.
[indistinct chattering]
[Jennifer] This is a dark subject matter,
but if we can get the message across in a beautiful way,
where it's soft, and it can be received, then maybe more people get the message.
[Tabitha] This is the schematics he wanted to go over for her cage.
This is the shape of it.
Listen to this.
[over earbuds] ♪ Born in the USA ♪
♪ I was born in the USA ♪
[Jennifer] I started thinking
that my daughter could sing "Born in the USA" in the finale.
I'd been trying to get Bruce Springsteen to do that cameo.
But then I thought it's so much more powerful
if Emme sings "Born in the USA," as a little, young Latina girl.
And then if they were connected at the top, it could open up,
and then they could come out.
It's not about making them more complicated.
It's about making them simple but really beautiful.
The part I'm worried about is that we can get multiple of them out there…
-[Tabitha] Yep. -…that light up on the field.
-It's a stadium. We want the scale. -[Tabitha] Mm-hmm.
That's why this part is important that it has the scale.
[Tabitha] Right.
That if they get me 400 little extra girls or whatever,
all sitting in cages, singing, "Ooh," and that all lights up,
the scale of that is powerful, and the visual of that is powerful.
This is what matters.
[man] We think there's that velvet one too.
You know green is my lucky color.
I need to wear all kinds of green.
[woman] Mm-hmm.
[Jennifer laughing] Yes!
-There it is. -[man laughing]
Yes, we're going to the Golden Globes.
[all laughing]
We're gonna need all the green we can get.
[pensive music playing]
[Jennifer] When I went to the Golden Globes for Selena,
I remember that day. I remember getting dressed at my house.
Everybody had told me that I wasn't gonna win,
but I was just happy to be there.
You're nominated for Selena. How's it feel to be here tonight?
I'm a little nervous. I didn't expect to be this nervous.
That was… that was good enough at that moment.
[woman] A big bustle.
No, I don't like it.
[man] It's so pretty…
It's nice for the SAG.
[indistinct chattering]
[man] This would be really cute for Spirit.
I like it for the Palm Springs Film Festival.
[man] Yes!
It took 20 years
and, like, another 25, 30 movies to get here again.

[Lorene] Maybe because she's made hard work look so effortless for so long,
it's easy to take Jennifer Lopez for granted.
I'm so proud she's getting the recognition she deserves.
Thirty-one best supporting actress nominations so far.
[crowd cheering, applauding]
I was offered an opportunity to shine a light on women
who are usually spinning on the periphery of the action.
Ramona was a mass of contradictions, a female character with the type of depth
that is usually reserved for men in Hollywood.
[crowd cheers]
And to all the talented women out there,
writing films, producing films, and directing films,
support one another and… and tell your stories.
And remember, "no" is not an answer.
It's an opportunity.
[crowd cheering, applauding]
[man] I got very emotional.
It felt like, oh my God, this is gonna be so scary,
all of these award shows for me. I'm gonna be like…
It… it's… it's nerve-racking in a way that I cannot explain.
And I already knew I got the award, and I was still like… [breathes shakily]
-[woman] Bless you. -[man] Thank you.
Alongside, like I said, all these people who I've been watching
win the awards for years, and I've never been that person.
I'm a 50-year-old actress who has the biggest hit of her career
playing a stripper,
a woman who embraces the power of her sexuality
and turns the way women are objectified on its head.
-[woman 1] Hi. -[Jennifer] Hi, guys.
-How are you? -[woman 2] Good.
[Jennifer] I wanted to put all of that onto that Super Bowl stage.
["Waiting for Tonight (Hex's Momentous Radio Mix)" by Jennifer Lopez playing]
We were doing Hustlers prep in LA,
and I brought my silicone pole that had that rubber coating.
-You can wear clothes. It's a nonissue. -[Jennifer] Yeah.
I'm already thinking at the gym, I'm like,
if you have to not wear tights for this part, you know what I mean?
And then do a change after Balvin and put something on.
You know, we could light it in a way where I'm just bare-legged.
[Johanna] Mm-hmm.
It's just a big deal to be up there with all those lights with no fucking…
[Johanna] Mm-hmm.
We're celebrating women
in every sense of who they are.
["Waiting for Tonight" continues]
For being smart, for being strong, for being sensual.
[Johanna] Do it, guys.

"If I'm too sexy, I won't be taken seriously."

"They postponed it. They're waiting for you to lose a little weight."

When I started working, the beauty ideal was very thin,
blond, tall,
not a lot of curves.

they're always trying to minimize the hip area.

-[interviewer] A gecko? Is that-- -A tiger-striped geck-- I don't know.
[crewman] Let's roll sound.
I look at your film record.
Forty films nearly. You've been in a lot of good ones.
You've been in a lot of big box office films.
No Oscar so far.
-No Oscar nomination so far. -No, not yet.
Do you think this may change things? Is this the one?
I mean, I hope so.
I hope so.
[interviewer] Jennifer Lopez is one of the most recognizable people
on the planet.
But while she's almost universally successful,
she wasn't always universally respected.
And her relationships with other megastars made her a tabloid fixture,
known as much for her love life as her work.
[crowd cheering, screaming]
[Jennifer] I've lived in the public eye.
[pensive music playing]
One of the things I'm proud of is that I'm able to hold it together
in front of everybody,
without anybody knowing how I feel.
Like even now, I'm not gonna get into what my relationships were like.
But in how it relates to me
and the journey that I've been on, I had to learn that the key
was not so much about other people but about yourself.
It's about being your own keeper
and not looking for somebody to give you a home
but making your own home.
[pensive music continues]
As an artist, I kind of lost a little bit of who I was
in trying to kind of build a perfect life, a family life.
And when my kids were three…
[laughing]
…I got divorced. I was a single mom with two little kids.
[sobbing]
This is so I can remember my daddy.
[Jennifer] At 42,
movie roles were not knocking down my door.
As I was getting back to work,
I really felt like I didn't know what my value was anymore.
I was doing American Idol.
[audience cheering]
That was the first big job I did after I had the babies.
And it was good for me at that time.
People could see me for who I was, and that changed everything.
I just love it. I love this whole thing, and I love what it does for singers.
And I love everything about it, and it's a joy.
It's been a joy for me to sit here and watch this for so many years.
Thank you.
[audience cheering]
[Jennifer] I really learned a lot about myself.
I had purpose.
And I just felt I've got to work on my acting more,
my singing more, my dancing more, my everything.
I just need to be better in every way.
You know, you have those moments in this business where…
you're like, what's next?
And will anything be next?
-[woman] Just a hem? -I don't know that I'd mess with it.
I think every entertainer, every performer, every creative person,
every artist lives with that fear.
-Gonna be a roller coaster. -Yeah. It's a bit of a roller coaster.
[man] Well, listen, you've got your team. We're all here with you.
[Jennifer] Yes.
-[Ana] Were you expecting this? -No.
-[Ana] This overwhelming reaction? -I was hoping people would like it.
"Most…" This is Glamour magazine.
"Most of the praise for Hustlers is dedicated to Jennifer Lopez,
who fronts the film as the ringleader Ramona."
"In fact, some reviewers say she could be likely in the running
for her first Academy Award."
"Frankly, it's thrilling to see a criminally underrated performer…
[exhales deeply]
[tearfully] …get her due from prestige film outlets."
[pensive music playing]
[photographers clamoring]
[interviewer] How are you juggling award season, Oscars, Golden Globes,
with Super Bowl rehearsals?
Right. Yeah, I'm a little sore right now. I'm not gonna lie.
Trying to parcel out my time,
flying back and forth from Miami to here on the weekends.
And listen, I'm not complaining. It's amazing to have to do that.
Our Best Supporting Actress winner, Jennifer Lopez.
[crowd cheering, applauding]
Thank you so much to the Los Angeles Film Critics Association for this award.
[crowd cheering, applauding]
[interviewer] On Monday morning, we have the Oscar nominations.
Are you gonna try to be up, or are you trying to have it come when it comes--
No, no, no, no, no, no, no. I don't… I don't… I don't… No.
[both laughing]
No. No.
Call me when it's over.
[woman] The nominees for the 92nd Academy Awards
were announced this morning.
[man] For Best Supporting Actress,
the nominees are Laura Dern in A Marriage Story,
Scarlett Johansson for Jojo Rabbit,
and Margot Robbie in Bombshell,
Florence Pugh in Little Women, and Kathy Bates in Richard Jewell.
[pensive music playing]
[host 1] The big shocker was that Jennifer Lopez was nominated
for nothing.
[group groaning]
[host 2] Let's talk about the snubs.
[host 3] Most obvious, I mean, let's say it, Jennifer Lopez.
[host 4] Jennifer Lopez. We all expected her to be nominated.
[reporter 1] Hustlers, one of many movies with a cast of mostly women,
directed by a woman, that got zero nominations this year.
[reporter 2] Several strong performances by people of color were overlooked.
[reporter 3] When you're voting for someone to win an Oscar,
part of the metric is that you have to know that they need it.
And with J.Lo, she's already an icon.
[pensive music continues]
[indistinct chattering]
[Jennifer] It's funny. I didn't sleep well last night.
And everybody kept talking about it like, "Tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow."
And I was just like, can we just stop talking?
I just feel like, it'll come out tomorrow.
It's gonna happen. We're gonna be good.
I went back to sleep, and I dreamt that it happened.
I was like… And when I woke up, I realized it was a dream.
So I picked up my phone, and the first thing I saw was Linda, uh…
She was like, "I hate these fucking people." [chuckles]
And I was like, "Shit."
They just don't want to give that shit up.
[Jennifer chuckles]
-They don't. -It kills me.
[Jennifer] I know. Don't let it.
[indistinct chattering]
[pensive music playing]
[Jennifer] The truth is, I really started to think I was gonna get nominated.
I got my hopes up because so many people were telling me I would be.
And then it didn't happen.
And I had to ask myself, what does that mean?
[pensive music continues]
[crowd cheering]
[Jennifer] I do this not for an award.
Or to do my hits up there
and seem like I'm the best performer in the world.
No, I do this to… tell stories.
And to effect change and to connect with people
and make them feel things because I wanna feel something.
That's why I do it,
because I actually wanna make the world a better place in my own little way.
At the end of the day, when somebody meets you,
they don't go, "Oh my God, you have 12 Grammys." They don't say that.
They go, "Oh my God, that song you wrote made me feel and got me through."
"When I saw you on stage, I realized I could be there too."
-I'm gonna keep working. -[Parris] One, two, three…
[Jennifer] And I'm gonna be unafraid to get loud
and use my voice in the best way that I can.
[dancers cheering]
[Tabitha] They're saying 18 cages on the field.
-Eighteen? -[Tabitha] Yeah.
[Jennifer] Who's making the decision, Bruce?
And Ha… Bruce and Hamish and team.
And I don't know if there were logistics that played into this and…
We're here trying to make this work, and every day, I turn around
with somebody giving me some negative energy about,
"We can't have this. We can't have that."
We're trying to squeeze this down to the bare minimum.
It's hard because it's such a big stage, Rick.
It's such a big stage, and it's such an important show.
And all of us have dreamed of doing it. It's been a nightmare since we started.
[Ricky] As I said to Benny and Tabitha on the phone the other day,
we have said yes to more things.
We are on the edge of being able to get this on the field,
so for anyone to give you feedback that we keep saying no is unfair.
Right now the tracks are 20 minutes.
I can't go to the NFL and say, "Hey, you have 14 minutes"…
-Of course not. -…just for the hell of it.
We have a responsibility for getting it on and off the field in seven minutes and--
But the finale can't be just one minute.
It's a song.
It has a build.
I'm trying to give you something with substance,
not just us out there shaking our fucking asses
and fucking belly dancing.
I want something real, something that's gonna make a statement,
that's gonna say we belong here and that we have something to offer.
That's what I want to do, and that's what I'm trying to do.
I can't do it if you guys keep pressing us for fucking seconds and minutes,
and we're fighting. I don't want to fight.
[Ricky] Okay. Well, I will have a conversation with them.
[man speaking indistinctly]
[instructor] Okay. We'll try it.
[indistinct chattering]
All right! Open! Get it! Get it!
[Tabitha] This is Swing Latino.
Wait till you see some of the things that they can do in their footwork.
[salsa music playing]
Wow.
-They're so sharp. -[girl] They're so sharp.
We have to be just like them. We have to be just like them.
Sharp.
You're a very, very special part of the show.
You guys are representing all of the little girls in the world. Okay.
So we're gonna show them our power and our strength
and our beauty
of who we are.

[girls laughing]
-Okay. Should we do it one more time? -[girls] Yes!
You come up in the cage right here, on this part of the stage.
And then they come up there.
Then you sing… [vocalizing]
…and they answer you.
-All the girls… [vocalizing] -[Emme vocalizing over phone]
-Exactly. -[Emme] How do I get out of the cage?
You just step out. The bars are far enough.
It's just metaphoric.
-I guess J.Lo's daughter is in here. -[Jennifer] Okay.
We're gonna get her in now just to practice the lift.
It'll only be five minutes you'll be here, okay?
This will be closed.
I wanted Emme to sit in the cage.
Putting her on that big stage,
although it would seem, like, scary for a lot of people,
she doesn't feel nervous because she's next to me.
So she knows that she's gonna be safe up there.
I said, "You look right down that camera,
and you tell every little girl in the world to get loud
and to never ever back down
from bringing light to injustice."
And so, that was…
[exhales deeply]
[tearfully] That was a big part of it for me.
And it was important. And I wanted to come out,
after she did that, draped in the American flag,
because I'm proud to be an American, but also I am not just American.
I'm also Puerto Rican.
And I wanted the flip side of that to be a Puerto Rican flag.
-[woman 1] Oh, it's sick. -[woman 2] That's dope, right?
-[Emme] Okay, I have a mic. -[woman 2] Okay.

[Emme laughing]
[inspirational music playing]
There's a thousand people come together for the first time tonight
to put this together.
You know, lighting, the cameramen, so many moving parts.
Now get out there. Move out. All clear.
Line it up, guys. Line it up. Line it up.
[inspirational music continues]
[Jennifer] We left rehearsal,
and I… I noticed everybody's kinda freaking out, but I don't know why.
And I get a call
from Benny,
and he's like, "They wanna pull the cages."
That night, the higher-ups at the NFL saw it for the first time,
and they're like, "Hey, you can't do that."
The NFL had a real concern about making a political statement
about immigration.
They looked at the plans, and the message was absolute.
They did not want those cages in the show.
That had come down from the highest authority.
Highest authority.
[dramatic music playing]
[Jennifer] For me, this isn't about politics.
This is about human rights.
I'm facing the biggest crossroads of my life, you know,
to be able to perform on the world's biggest stage.
But to take out the cages and sacrifice what I believe in
would be like never being there at all.
There was a part of me that just got very zen, and I was like,
"Benny, I don't care what you have to do. We're not changing the show."
The Super Bowl is tomorrow, and we're not changing anything.
I've been thinking about the Super Bowl
probably since I started recording records in 1999.
As challenging as this has been
and different than what I thought it was gonna be,
Parris said, in one of the rehearsals, it takes you through a gamut of emotions.
It takes you on a high-energy, beautiful ride
where you feel so many things.
Parris, she's a perfectionist,
but I think every single one of you
right now is a better dancer because of her.
-[dancers] Parris! -[group cheering, applauding]
Other person who's like that is Tabitha, which is why she's been with me forever.
Forever.
[Jennifer] Just like a lot of you here.
I know some of you I didn't know very well.
It takes a while to warm up to me,
but I… I love you, and I feel you deeply.
And I root for every single one of you
every single time you're out there.
[inhales shakily]
[tearfully] I'm sorry. For being…
[in Spanish] Being Latino in this country
has always been a matter of pride for me.
My family means a lot to me.
And representing Latinos to the world,
I know that's something that I do.
Something that God has blessed me to do.
There are many Latinos in this country, and they are not being treated well,
and that's why this show is so important.
And you are all a big part of that.
[all in English] One, two, three, Super Bowl!
[all cheering]
[pensive music playing]
-Emme! -[Emme] What?
Where are you?
Let's go. Bye, guys. We'll see you in a little bit.

It felt like flying.
Every time I did a rehearsal, it was so hard.
It was hard.
But my adrenaline must have been at 150 because honestly, I felt like a feather.
I've got so much more I wanna do.
So much more I wanna say.

It's a tremendous responsibility always
what I can do for my community.
And I really wanted to empower every woman to create the most beautiful life
that they could for themselves, whatever that meant for them.
-And money here. -[woman] Oh, yeah.
'Cause we need that too, and y'all got money, so…
[all laughing]
[Jennifer] But seriously, as the CEO of Goldman Sachs,
it's a very smart business play for you guys.
It's a smart thing for you to invest in people like us
because we know what our communities want more than anybody.
I believe you're investing about $100 million
and putting it into the communities for Black women.
And I would love to do that with Latinas as well.
All you've built over a long time
can really amplify this, you know, even more than we can.
When you're that person…
When you realize over and over you're, like, the only woman in the room
or you're the only Latina, what it made me think is
that maybe I was the first Latina woman to be in that room,
but I wasn't gonna be the last.
