Acting legend Terry Moore has one piece of advice for Jennifer Lopez, after the A-lister was snubbed for an Oscar nomination this week: “Get over it.”

Besides, the 91-year-old, who was nominated in 1952 for a best-supporting actress award for “Come Back, Little Sheba,” believes Lopez’s performance — which was widely expected to garner a nomination — was overrated.

“I would have been shocked if she did get it,” sniffed Moore, a longtime member of the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Services who votes on Oscar nominees and was once married to Howard Hughes.

Shockwaves rippled across social media this week when the Academy Award nominations were announced and several actors who were anticipated to make the cut didn’t. Among them: Adam Sandler for “Uncut Gems,” Eddie Murphy for “Dolemite Is My Name,” Awkwafina — who recently took top honors at the Golden Globes for “The Farewell” — and, yes, Lopez.

But Hollywood, apparently, was not surprised. After all, they’re the ones who didn’t vote for their dejected peers.
