Jennifer Lopez named the worst movie she has ever seen when talking to Brett Goldstein this week on his show Films To Be Buried With Her pick: the 2021 drama Nomadland starring acclaimed actress Frances McDormandThe film was not a hit with audiences as it brought in under $4 million at the US box office. Her choice may also be a jab at the Academy as they have never nominated her for an Oscar, even though she delivered an impressive performance in her con-artist stripper movie Hustlers from 2019.The Oscars has a history of awarding films that mass audiences don't seem to like: the most recent examples are 2005's Crash and 2018's Green Book. Lopez, however, focuses on starring in more entertainment-driven movies such as The Wedding Singer and Maid In Manhattan, and more recently, The Mother and Atlas, all massive hits. Director Chloe Zhao won an Oscar for itWhen Goldstein asked her flat out, 'What's the worst film you've ever seen?' - which he asks every guest on his show Films To Be Buried With - she stepped up to the plate.'It's hard to say "worst" because it's a beautiful film,' Lopez said carefully. Then she made it clear it really was her 'worst type of film.'She also shared: 'I just didn't enjoy it. It's just not for me.' She added, 'It's just a taste thing. And I know we need movies about grief! I understand.'Goldstein responded, 'You just don't wanna watch them.''I just don't wanna watch them,' Lopez confirmed. 'The same way I don't wanna watch horror films.'

'I like musicals. I like romantic comedies. I like thrillers, you know? And it's a slow-moving thing about grief and there's no escapism to it. And I do like some movies like that… but that one I just didn't.'The Bronx native did have some nice things to say about McDormand, however, calling her performance 'amazing.'
