Sunday didn't mark the first time Lopez has jokingly addressed public commentary on her husband's facial expressions. Back in February 2023, Lopez shared the trailer for Air on her Instagram account with one notable addition: a still image of Affleck in the movie as Nike, Inc. co-founder Phil Knight with a caption that reads "my husband's happy face."

ET also happened to catch Lopez meeting Brie Larson for the first time during Sunday's pre-show during a viral red carpet conversation, in which Larson, 34, choked up when she realized Lopez was approaching. "I saw Selena and it made me want to be an actor. And you've always meant so much to me," she told Lopez, referencing her 1997 film.
"Oh my God, don't make me cry," Lopez responded.
