If there is one thing you can say about Jennifer Lopez, it’s that she makes a hell of a comeback.

The star was close to tears this week at the premiere of her new movie, “Kiss of the Spider Woman,” at the Sundance Film Festival in Utah.

“There was a standing ovation, not for the movie — which is important, I think — but for her,” said New York Post critic Johnny Oleksinski, who was at the premiere.

“The audience leapt to their feet when she walked out onto the stage of the Eccles Theatre. Same theater where Best Picture nominees like ‘Call Me By Your Name,’ ‘Boyhood,’ Whiplash’ and ‘Little Miss Sunshine’ premiered. That had to have been validating for someone who rarely gets that kind of recognition.”

In fact, Lopez is already earning the 2026 Oscar buzz for the big-screen version of the Tony-winning musical.

“I’ve been waiting for this moment my whole life,” she told the crowd at Park City’s Eccles Theatre. “The reason I even wanted to be in this business is because my mom would sit me in front of the TV and [‘West Side Story’] would come on once a year. I was mesmerized and was like, ‘That’s what I want to do.’ This is the first time I actually got to do it.”

J.Lo’s emotional appearance comes on the heels of her very own annus horribilis — a rocky 2024 that saw the demise of what was supposed to be her fairytale second chance with Ben Affleck.

Last year started off with the release of “This Is Me … Now: A Love Story,” a fever-dream musical trip through Lopez’s four marriages, and the documentary “The Greatest Love Story Never Told,” which featured scenes with Affleck.

And although the singer came under fire for pushing their love story into the spotlight — including using Affleck’s love letters for her new album — sources told Page Six that he was the brains behind the doc.

Months later, the pair’s marriage — which came more than 20 years after their first engagement — fell apart in public, while Lopez’s “This Is Me … Now” album met with poor reviews and sales and she canceled her concert tour.

Now Lopez is ready to reinvent. “There’s a lot of positivity for the year ahead,” said a source who knows Lopez, “It’s a big year for her.”

Her Hollywood career is soaring. Her divorce from Affleck was finally wrapped up in early January.

But that doesn’t mean he’s out of her life just yet.

Affleck produced “Kiss of the Spider Woman” along with his longtime BFF Matt Damon, through their company, Artists Equity. Lopez herself is also an executive producer.

If the movie — which has yet to be bought by a distributor — receives any awards nominations, the pair could easily end up in the same room“Hustlers” but failed to get a nomination — which some in Hollywood chalked up to snobbery.

The snub hurt, Lopez admitted in her 2022 Netflix doc “Halftime,” as she talked about her struggle “to be heard, to be seen, to be taken seriously” in Hollywood.

“It was hard. I just had very low self-esteem,” she said,“I had to really figure out who I was and believe in that, and not believe in anything else.”

She’s soon to start filming a new Netflix rom-com, “Office Romance” with “Ted Lasso” heartthrob Brett Goldstein.

He has made no secret that he had a crush on Lopez.

Fans found a clip of Goldstein, who co-wrote the project, talking about Lopez on a 2018 episode of his “Films to Be Buried With” podcast.

“F–king hell … ” he said of his future co-star. “I love her.”
