Lopez, 50, quickly tweeted at Longo, “This is amazing!!!!!!! You can be my backup dancer any day🕺🏻THANK YOU FOR THE SUPPORT!”

In his own tweet, Longo wrote, “A @JetBlue pilot read my plea that passengers watch Hustlers in honor of @JLo’s #GoldenGlobes nom. I called myself The Backup JLo, but I guess I’m her backup dancer. The friendly skies supports our Fly Girl!”

Lopez also took to Instagram to share her joy over the nomination, captioning a video expressing her gratefulness, “Could not be prouder to be recognized by the HFPA. Ramona was a complicated character and it was an honor and challenge to bring her to life. Hustlers was a labor of love, sweat and perseverance written, directed, produced, edited and starring a group of bad-ass women. I am proud and honored to represent them and this film!!!! ♥️♥️”

Also a producer on the film, Lopez previously revealed that she worked on the movie for free, so the nomination may be even sweeter.

“I didn’t get paid a whole bunch of money for ‘Hustlers,’” she told GQ. “I did it for free and produced it. I bank on myself, you know? That was like Jenny from the block. I do what I want, I do what I love.”
