Felicity Huffman. William H. Macy and Sam Worthington? The cast surprises me.
I kind of like Worthington, even if his personal life is a mess. I wonder if he’ll have the hots in the movie, or the booze puff. And Macy is always cool.
yeah Macy and Huffman are great actors and Sam is a cool and very attractive guy.
The movie sounds way better now after i know who plays with Jennifer.
LOL! Even her attempt to “ugly” herself for Awards attention is photoshopped to make her seem more attractive than she is with the excruciating acting sacrifice of no make-up. Bluer eyes, windblown blonder hair, reddened lips, sculpted face. Please. And the vaseline on the lens is triple thick.
I think what we have is the beach girl ad for pain and suffering. I have an idea for her next endorsement/”investment” – depression meds.
Thankfully no one serious is taking her delusional Oscar campaign seriously. She is just clueless how to direct her career toward the respectability she seems to want.
Adrianna Barraza is awesome. She and Rinko Kikuchi were the best parts in Babel. They both lost to Jennifer Hudson.
Are we going to have to endure Aniston’s Oscar campaign all winter? I may have to go hibernate somewhere if that’s the case.
She is acting so desperate. She is even showing up at the Governor’s Awards this weekend.
She also has hired an Oscar consultant. No one is going to even sit through Cake without a top notch distributor behind it.
She is forcing it rather than letting the film speak for itself. However the film is not that great considering no one bought it at TIFF and Aniston had to basically buy her own movie to have it distributed.
Oooohhhh….sounds like you’ve got some insider tea! I’m gonna keep my eye on your comments! 🙂
It’s like she’s trying to turn me against cake. I don’ care how ugly she gets, cake is delicious!
no make-up. so brave. LOL
Empowering and dreamy, Ag.
It makes her think thoughts.

The sad fact is she probably legitimately thinks she’s going to get award recognition because she went “ugly” (well, no -makeup is Hollywood’s version of “ugly”).
Her and her PR team are probably thinking “It worked for Charlize Theron, why not me?”
Haha!!!!
Alicia you are spot on.
You just about summed it up perfectly/correctly.
Charlize disappeared in the role. She was almost unrecognizable. She also acted very well.
Aniston in Cake look like Aniston on the street. She looks the same as she always does. And in the clip that was released her acting was forced and try hard. You could see the wheels turning in her head.
but still with perfectly shaped eyebrows I see.
hah, noticed that as well. I’m sure some makeup was still applied, however minimal.
She just says the dumbest things.
Her whole narrative for this film is based on not wearing makeup. There is more to acting than that.
She also still clearly looks like herself.
I didn’t get the no-makeup thing because she is wearing prosthetic makeup. If the inference is that it’s empowering to “be natural,” well, that clearly isn’t the case here.
She basically wanted to say it was empowering not being hot all the time but at least was smart enough to know that would go over even worse. (See: Jessica Biel and Jessica Alba, who claim they don’t get roles because they’re too hot and not that the only reason they ever got a chance at acting despite having below average talent is because they’re hot and/or connections).
Um, Kiddo, did you see the Featured Links?
I will admit I’m intrigued to see her in this role. I don’t hate on her like most people. I loved her in Office Space (I know, right?). Maybe I just loved that movie and she got included ;).
Yeah, I don’t get the hate for her either. She’s harmless.
I also loved her in Office Space. And, for that matter, Horrible Bosses.
Her friendship with Handler is proof she is far from harmless.
People hate her pr antics.
So, because you loved her in office space, that makes her immune from critisism?
There is no hate anywhere on this thread , people are just speculating how obvious and desperate she is.
Is there an Oscar category for being harmless tabloid fodder?
I don’t hate on her either, but I think “Office Space” is just really funny. I don’t think Jen’s character really contributed to its cult status, though. Amir, Michael Bolton, Milton and Lawrence are the characters that stood out to me.
office space is the best. but, aniston’s role in it could have really been played by anyone, i think.
I disagree! As I said above, I really think the only place she really shines is in low stakes comedy and the way she does it is uniquely her and natural. I am not big on Jennifer Aniston but I will give her that one!
I agree. I think I saw Office Space a few times before her presence registered with me. I didn’t even remember she was in it. The circumstances of her character were amusing but that was the writing.
I liked her in it too.
@JustSal” you are nuts. None of what you said is true. Geez, find a real villain in life, there are plenty to be had.
Whut?
mimEf aka dead baby eater. 😀
Not so much hate as complete disgust.
I thought this was satire, until I realised you were serious with your “she has waged a vendetta against an innocent woman” shtick. Wow. Backing away slowing now.
But there’s no hate on the site! You people really invest too much time in knowing way to much about these celebs, just as I’ve invested 2 minutes reading and commenting!
I never ceases to amaze me how casually people throw around the word ‘hate.’ No one on this site hates Aniston – we are criticizing her, not hating. She is a public figure, and chooses to put her business out there, so we have every right to comment on it. If that bothers you, tell her to get out of show business and do real estate full time – she’s much better at that than she is at acting.
Well, one poster asked, “I don’t get how people don’t get the hate for her.”
So, yes, there is hate. People tend to react to extremism. Regardless of who or what it is related to.
Why won’t you and the media let these people live their lives? Brad and Angelina met and fell in love while he was still married. It happens. B&A are married now with kids. J&J seem happy. Justin’s relationship ended with Biven’s…that was his choice. Just as it was Brad’s choice to end his. Let it go! Stop believing everything you read and hear…it is only to sell copy. This hate for Anniston is bizarre. Just as the hate is for Jolie. Hate on child molesters or other abusers…they deserve the wrath. This is gossip, it should be fun.
@Elle Kaye: while I agree with the fact that people shouldn’t hate on celebs and instead hate on murders, rapists etc I just have one tiny question.
Why did you conveniently leave out the fact that Jennifer and Justin fell in love while he was in a 14 year relationship? You wrote Brad & Angelina fell in love while he was married so why not also write that Justin was also in a relationship?
Are you one of those Jen hens who has the audacity to say that since Justin wasn’t married – Jennifer didn’t wreck his relationship? That it isn’t cheating if they aren’t married?
I personally don’t hate Jennifer but I do dislike her immensely because of the fact that she is a hypocrite for creating the whole poor me image and then turned around and did exactly the same thing she accused Angelina off. While there were never any evidence of Angelina & Brad physically cheating, there are numerous pictures, interviews showing the fact that Jennifer did wreck a relationship.
That is what bugs must of us who dislikes Jennifer.
What’s the premise of this film?
How can we know when all Jen has to say is how dreamy no make up was!
i hope it’s about literal cake. as in, “‘something i’d like to eat now’ for $100, alex?”
Yeah, what’s in it for Kiddo?
Weird things are happening to responses. I blame clowns.
textastrophe.com
(no really, click on it, it’s highlarious)
I just read the story and was like, ‘meh’. Truth be told, the largest part of his insufferability, for me, is his affected speech and voice. I’m already warn down by clowns and Bill Murray hate. I can’t with this ‘muppet face ass’ (quoting someone here).
wtf are you prattling on about?? Wait, did you really click on that MM link? Boy, you really are warn down.
I Won’t watch the video, in other words. His voice/speech patterns are like nails on a chalkboard while simultaneously suffering papercuts and deep splinters on your fingers.
Also clowns and disappointz and MUZAK, jazzecise and whatnot.
I was just confused because I linked a funny site about a dude that trolls people on CL and what not. Then I used my newfound algebra skillz that Jaderu taught me to decipher that you were replying to my post upthread, and hence deduced that you were talking about MM. Jeez, you are warning me down with all this thinking thoughts stuff.
Next week, I’m going to make a concerted effort only to make funny AF posts. You have been warned.
That is funny. thanks
What are AF posts? Is that a db?
No god, no more db jokes, they just get me in trouble. AF is short for, um, as f-ck. Because I’m classy like that.
The older Textastrophe ones are funnier, he kinda lost it once he got some notoriety. I started at the oldest and worked up, and might have peed a little on occasion, but I love stupid humor (in case you haven’t noticed).
*Also, what are you going to do if MM gets voted Sexiest Man Alive? I need to know so I can start preparing for your hospital stay.
I will prepare for the coming apocalypse, as should everyone else, because that means all the other men are dead.
I don’t really want to look at myself without makeup, why would I want to look at her?
I agree… but seeing her with no makeup actually makes me feel better about myself with no makeup.
Me too, and I’m about 16 years older than she is lol.
Raise the bar higher. Seeing her red carpet ready, in a sharp lbd, with makeup on, a fresh layer cut and highlights, STILL makes feel super great about myself and I would describe myself as average.
Bottomline is, she’s always been average and there’s no shame in that. Given a choice between Sarah Jessica’s face and hers, Sarah squeaks by, but only because her lips are a tad fuller and her eyes aren’t as close together.
Also, what’s with the horror show ice white eyeballs? It’s like her PR flack called her up and said, ‘Ok Jen, brace yourself, we’re going with the full on huge fug face,’ and she sobbed, ‘OK but please, please PLEASE grey it out and make my eyes really POP, like ice blue Paul Newman would envy me, and I’d be Hitler’s poster child aryan white blue LED glow in the dark eyes!!’
She looks a lot like Sean Penn.
actually i think at least the thought behind it is solid, just the execution is lacking.
for starters the eyes are too blue and youthful, it doesn’t convey the “burden of old age and years of hardship” in those eyes. it actually reminds me of a Les Mis poster (but Cosette is actually a young girl)
http://i.perezhilton.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/les-miserable-cosette-movie-poster__oPt.jpg
the hair in the face and too much heavy filtering (you can’t even see her facial scar all that clearly) removes the hard hitting impact that it could’ve achieved.
i think with darker shade of eyes, more visible face contour (where the lines of life’s battles are drawn, and you wear them with the pride of a conqueror), can convey her ” age, hardship, disease while struggling to be true” character arc.
i wish it’s more like Liam Neeson’s The Grey poster. a direct hit to the gut.
http://zkiviews.files.wordpress.com/2012/02/the-grey-movie-poster2.jpg
I dont think she would like the póster to show her pores.
Since Ben’s not usually quite this muscle-y, I have to admit that seeing him gives me a new appreciation for the training regimes of Evans, Hemsworth, and Cavill.
Also, how big is Ben’s role in Batman v. Superman? I feel like Henry’s been in the Midwest for all of 2014, yet Ben and Amy are regularly in LA with their families. Is Henry still avoiding LA after last summer’s PR fiasco?
Perception is reality and if you hear Aniston, Cake and Oscar enough times a nomination doesn’t seem so far-fetched.
Opting for a December 2014 qualifying run is significant and is an indication that Jennifer’s advisors feel that the anticipated leading actress competition will not be insurmountable.
There are enough voting members of the Academy that still remember Jennifer’s Good Girl snub who might be willing to make it up to her this year.
Agreed, especially how it’s all about perception. Say it enough times and it becomes an undisputed norm.
I think only Aniston fans consider her snubbed for the Good Girl. I doubt the Academy has any narrative that she’s due.
It’s not that she was bad in that role. but it’s not really a movie that has held the imagination of the public for years.
Agree. She was perfectly okay in the Good Girl, nothing special; it’s not that difficult to act dour and mousey. There was no talk, that I can remember, that she was “robbed” of a nomination.
How could a film that opens for a week be seriously considered for ANYTHING?
No clue, but she’s running a helluva machine. If she pulls an Oscar nom out of her hat for this, I will eat Bradley Cooper’s nasty beige booty shorts.
Oh, MIMIF, I have the worst visual ever of you eating those shorts and for some reason I think they would taste like ham.
Lol Size, I’m havering a hard time imagining that too, especially as I have an extreme aversion to ham. Can we make them taste like….mimosas, or something?
I suspect Jason Momoa’s shorts would taste like mimosa, but you’ll be havering to fight me for them.
The original G: The criteria for consideration is one public viewing in the Los Angeles area before closing date, so one week is plenty for consideration.
Harvey plays this game all the time to get his films nominated and then buzzed about for being contenders.
Jennifer is simply playing from his handbook.
Yes, LAK, glad you mentioned him. If he had the slightest sense this might bring him some noms if her distributed it, he would have, just for the prestige of it.
This film has no prospect of success financially OR artistically.
Was she really snubbed for The Good Girl though? She was not that good, only good because the bar for her is set very low.The Golden Globes & SAGS ignored her as well.
The only people that ever bring up that film are her fans when they need to prove she can act.
I doubt the Oscar voting members even remember The Good Girl, they are not dying to nominate her. She is not on their radar.
I don’t think you can say she was snubbed for the Oscar. Considering she was not nominated for any other of the major awards that year. If she had been nominated for any of the Critics Awards, SAG, GG and others and not the Oscar then yes we have a Snub.
To me is speaks volumes that people that praise her acting have to go back so many years to pull what they consider a great performance. I have never seen the film, just small outtakes. But she just seemed to be herself. Anyway we will see how it all works out in a month or so.
Seriously she should let the work speak for itself. She’s trying way way too hard. It really is to her detriment long term because the movie isn’t that well reviewed and while she got OK notices her pushing the Oscar baitiness of this makes it seem like this is the best she’s got which is not really good enough for the rodeo with the big boys and girls. If she had let this just play in the Indie circuit and let the right people see her work maybe she could have gotten her hands on a decent script and a decent distributor and Sandy Bullocked her way to at least a nomination down the road.
I just read the resume of Lisa Taback, the Oscar consultant Aniston hired. This Lisa person has an impressive track record and worked closely with the Weinteins on their successful Oscar campaigns. I honestly think that that even though Aniston may not deserve it, she may get an Oscar nomination due to backroom shenanigans.
But no one lets the work speak for itself anymore. Everyone sells, sells, sells – especially for the Oscars.
I don’t get all of this effort either, but the Academy likes to see people work for their nominations. And Jen has a pretty good story here: the film can’t find distribution, so she’s putting her own resources into selling it. She’s not pimping out children or engagements – she’s saying “I’m proud of this project, I believe in it, and you should too” It might be stupid or it might get her attention. The Academy likes having one or two underdogs every year, after all.
“She’s not pimping out children or engagements”
Don’t make me laugh, this woman will use everything she’s got to get her hands on a oscar.
The conveinient “engagement ring cleaning” escapade the other day was completely coincidental to the oscar buzz she’s trying to generate? The elopement story another coincidence? And that’s just the beginning, we’ve got months of this crap to go. Wait for Justin to be dragged back to LA for hand on the stomach outings.
if she’s proud of this project it’s too bad she can’t have an intelligent conversation about its and her acting on the topic rather than superficial self-absorbed issues. Of course, unless the project is really JENNIFER ANISTON.
It’s always about her. Always.
She has no children to pimp out, but that hasn’t stopped her from pimping out her 574 fake pregnancies, has it?
Not pimping out engagements? How can you type that with a straight face?
No makeup won’t get you an Oscar, although it adds a kind of gravitas I guess (Charlize theron, Monster). Now, if she were to go without makeup, gain or lose an extreme amount of weight, AND play a developmentally disabled woman, then we’d be talkin’
While filming Cake Jennifer was required to wear an extremely uncomfortable back-brace.
She had to receive chiropractic treatments on a nightly basis to help alleviate the pain.
Perhaps if she could act she could have forgone the extremely uncomfortable back-brace.
And I believe db is being sarcastic, Tippy.
Sounds like someone’s bought that “suffering for my art” bullish!t hook, line & sinker. I guess the Oscar campaign is already working on the gullible.
Who doesn’t like a nightly massage billed to production?
I am currently not wearing any make-up and I find myself drifting into a dream-like state. But that could be due to the absinthe I was drinking over on the Cumberbatch thread.
I’ve never been into BC but holy hell, you guys know how to throw a good party. Absinthe, horse tranquilizers, Sambuca, Ouzo, hot dudes on horses & motorcycles…what else am I missing? I’m going to start visiting his posts more often.
The curl.
You’re fixating again, Kidoo.
Mimif come for BC and stay for the Klooneys. CB has been a party site since the summer.
You don’t even know how many CB hangovers I’ve had, Abot.
I don’t have a problem with her campaigning once the nominations are out. I have a problem when she has hired someone to run her Oscar campaign. That is really different. The nominations are not out yet. Very few people including critics have actually seen the film. So if she gets a nomination good for her.. for anyone getting recognized for their work. I’ll be curious to see how she puts herself out there. She wants it and seems to be ready to fight to get that spot. According to some she has some promotion for HB2.. if she focuses on CAKE more then we will see how she is going to work it.
I won’t be seeing the film as I don’t see any of her movies. But I don’t thing wanting a nomination is a bad thing for an actor.
Except the campaigning starts before the nominations. Way before. I think this campaign is getting more attention than others because it’s Jennifer Aniston and the film doesn’t have a distributor. Look at the other thread re: Jessica Chastain today. Or the question as to whether Benedict’s engagement is part of his campaign. This is prime campaign season.
Years ago, I went to see Pan’s Labyrinth with a friend. I thought it was amazing. As we were leaving the theatre, I said something about how it had to be a lock for the Oscars. And he laughed and said, no, it wouldn’t, because the studio had already decided another film was getting the majority of their resources for awards seasons. I’ve heard from other people who worked or currently work in the industry that, if you are serious about nabbing a nomination, you need to start planning a year out, if not earlier. Have you made the right friends? Are there any mistakes or insults to atone for?
Frankly, I’m even wondering if this whole thing with Cake is less about this specific awards season and more about establishing Aniston as a more serious actress. She’s aging, and she might recognize that the types of roles she’ll be offered is changing.
I know Celebitchy doesn’t like Jen, but I’m fascinated by this gamble. It’s one of the more interesting career moves she’s made, simply because it’s so unusual and for once has nothing to do with her personal life and everything to do with her career.
I also find it intriguing.
Cake is the first of a five film deal that Jennifer signed with the fledgling production company Cinelou.
Cinelou is committed to bringing out the best of Jennifer’s dramatic and comedic talents in each of her projects.
It’s probably safe to assume that Jennifer has also acquired an ownership stake in Cinelou and will have creative control in the future.
People can debate whether Aniston is an upper echelon actress but I think that everyone agrees that she’s a shrewd businesswoman.
So shrewd she has creative control of a film with bad reviews and no distributor.
Cinelou appears to be ready, willing and able to distribute their own work.
Why pay someone else a lion’s share to do something that they’re perfectly capable of performing for themselves. Furthermore, moving forward once their distribution infrastructure is in place it will become increasingly streamlined and cost efficient.
Getting in on the ground floor of solid business ventures and eliminating middlemen is usually a winning recipe.
I must have missed the bad Cake reviews. Most have been pretty generous with praise for Jennifer’s performance in a so-so film.
“I don’t have a problem with her campaigning once the nominations are out.”
That is not how the industry works. There are “For Your Consideration” ads that run in trade papers, billboards and buses in LA and NY. The “For Your Consideration” campaigns are for the nomination, not the award itself.
I agree Tiffany. I don’t have any strong feelings about Aniston, one way or the other, but I can’t fault her for trying to promote herself for consideration. They all do it. I remember Melissa Leo was shameless about it and it worked. Since the film is not out yet, I can’t say if it is an Oscar worthy performance or not, but trying to get attention or create buzz is not something I can fault her for. There is so much that Aniston can be ripped on for, but i don’t think this is one of them.
Aniston hiring an Oscar campaign consultant on top of her already well endowed PR team is the ultimate in chutzpah. This is not some actor who has been putting in Oscar worthy performances for years only to get continually snubbed. It’s an actor who has put in one of her infrequent decent performances. This woman’s narcissism takes the prize.
LIsa2; the nominations campaign has already started. Seriously every single trade paper is littered with ‘for your consideration’ ads. Jen’s nominations campaign is picking up gossip media heat because it’s Jen, but this is how it is.
Once the noms come in, then a different oscar campaign comes into play.
It’s true that awards campaigning begins before nominations are out. In fact, the campaigning can help to secure the nomination in some cases.
My problem with Aniston is her performance in Cake has already been minimized as “good but undistinguishable” by the few critics who reviewed it. In other words, it’s underwhelming. It doesn’t stand out. That said, mounting an Oscar campaign seems fool-hardy at best. Oscar nominated performances are heralded by film critics because they’re considered the best of the year. When you make a play for awards season, like Aniston is doing, you can’t underwhelm. You have to stand out because the bar is set higher. The competition is fierce at this level, and I don’t think her performance comes close to those of Julianne Moore, Rosamund Pike, Amy Adams, Reese Witherspoon, Felicity Jones or Jessica Chastain who are all being talked about right now for Best Actress contention. Even two-time winner Hilary Swank’s in the hunt with The Homesman, as well as the Polish actress, Agata Trzebuchowska (there’s traditionally an international outlier), for the moving film, Ida.
I could really see this backfiring on her.
Most campaigns start before the movies are even in production. I hate bringing up Angelina Jolie here, but it’s the most obvious example right now. Look at Unbroken. The Oscar buzz for that started before locations had even been scouted. People are talking like Jolie’s a lock for Best Director when we haven’t even heard any initial reviews yet and it’s only her second time in the director’s chair. That’s how it works now.
If anything Aniston is actually showing up late to the party, hence the sudden push. She hasn’t spent a year or two gently hyping it, so she needs to really go for it now if she wants it to even be part of the conversation. We’re going to see the same thing very shortly with A Most Violent Year and Selma.
It should also be said that campaigning hard for an Oscar doesn’t mean you actually think you have a shot. Often it’s just about getting your name mentioned in the same sentence as Oscar nomination. That opens doors. I highly doubt Aniston thinks she will walk away with the Oscar next year. But she might get a Globe nomination and her name might be on a lot of the prediction lists for Oscar noms, and that will have a very positive affect on her career.
Great comment. I only think it’s a little ridiculous if she actually does want an Oscar nom, or is even trying to get her name mentioned with *this* movie. It didn’t get a lot of traction–and I know that people said that the best films often don’t get distributed. But I’ve read nothing that indicates that the film, or Jennifer’s performance was all that amazing or risky. It was a good performance in a bad, depressing movie that wasn’t done that well.
But if an actor wants to hustle, then more power to them. It’s entertaining at least.
And I looked up AJ and Oscar nom. predictions (because I hadn’t ready any from any legit. sources)–and found a few. Donna Langley pitched the movie (along with AJ) at CinemaCon, making sure to talk about the Oscar nominated people who worked on the movie. So it’ll be interesting to see how it plays out.
Speaking of Oscar campaigning when film hasn’t hit production yet, the minute Anne leaked the video of her getting a head shave and started to talk about the extreme weight loss, all of which she did a few weeks before principal production had started, I knew she was starting her Oscar campaigning. It was so obvious that i’m surprised people only started to pay attention when the official awards season started.
Finally, a voice of reason. Thank you Jessica.
Sponsoring an Oscar campaign is often in the actor’s initial contract..that’s why all those ‘ for your consideration’ ads run (even for some awful films)
Isn’t it a tad self-righteous and insensitive of her to be going on about how courageous and “dreamy” it is to act without makeup and with (strategically placed) mock scars when there are women in real life who have to live daily without makeup and with real scars? Like acid attack and burn victims.
This.
Yeah. I was expecting to hear more about the process that her acting went through to play a character…the people she talked to who suffer from chronic pain……the treatments/medications for people who suffer from chronic pain that don’t work…..addiction issues that come from chronic pain…..impact it has on families/personal relationships. I even googled, and all I could find was stuff about her talking about makeup. Maybe she’ll talk more about it as her campaign goes on. But you’d think that’d be something obvious to talk about when you’re playing a role like that…..not about makeup.
EDIT: Found this. http://www.news1130.com/2014/09/09/jennifer-aniston-let-herself-fall-apart-physically-for-role-in-new-film-cake/
She said she talked about chronic pain to two women that she knew who suffer from it, doctors about the medications, etc. But I wish she wouldn’t go on about how ‘unglamorous’ the role is. Geez.
OMG!
Well, now i can officially say i resemble Jennifer Aniston lol
Wow. No make up. This could rival De Niro’s transformation in Raging Bull.
Haha. That was a good one (:
Her idea of campaigning is wearing a see through dress without a bra.
She isn’t going to win for her acting or the ability to convey an important, meaningful story, like real actresses.
Aniston can only win by threatening us all with an odious, never-ending PR blitz of hair talk, make-up, yoga, water and skin commercials, exercise and diet advice, and unleashing her eyebrow-twerking fiancee and the Vodka-infused toxic Chelsea Handler on us all. It’s basically a threat–give me that Oscar and I may never go away. Your choice, Hollywood. I’m scared–somebody hold me 🙁
Hmm she’s had maybe 2 nose jobs and it still looks fat.
Anyhow, she is ridiculous. The poster, really? It should be gritty, with wrinkles, pores and the scar showing, her eyes in their natural color and without that Instagram filter.
I look down upon women like her, almost twice my age but more vain, empty-headed and foolish than many of my peers.
This
You know what? I hope she gets an Oscar nomination. The gossip from her Oscar run will be epic.
Maybe that means she and Justin will be in the same state for more than a few days at a time…..maybe that’s why she wants an Oscar nom. So Justin’ll come around more. So she can spring that wedding on him–smack dab in the middle of Oscar season.
I’m onto you, Jennifer, and your grandmaster plan.
So you want her to get an Oscar nod, not because she deserves it, but for…gossip?
Yah. mkay. ever hear of taking this kind of fence sitting or devil’s advocate thing you’re doing, a tad bit too far?
Yes, because with Aniston, we certainly don’t get enough ‘gossip,’ and we surely don’t get enough of her complaining about ‘gossip,’ so we definitely need more Aniston in our lives in all capacities. She needs to be in more bad rom coms, lame ensembles and do more incessant fruitless campaigning for awards she won’t get…it’s like i don’t hear near enough about her sad attempts to have a life that rivals you know who. I don’t know about you…but I need more ‘Showdown!!’ Tabloid stories, and more Chelsea Handler attacks, and just more and more Jen period.
Oscar-bate might the the appropriate term for what the press is likely to do, especially if AJ and Pitt are also nominated. And just to round things out, they’ll ask Clooney to hand out at least one of those, since after his wedding the press seems to be wondering who got custody of the friends in the Aniston-Pitt divorce…
Anyways, for those here who dislike Aniston, you should all be rooting for her to win. What have Kidman, Berry or Theron really done since they won theirs? For a fairly large portion of actresses who win, it seems to be the kiss of death to their careers. Vote now and vote often lol
What?? She’s the lead in the movie? Just as pretty much every poster for a movie centering around one character usually puts that character center stage. Like, say, Angelina in Maleficent? “How egotistical!” Haha, so silly.
Yea, I’m not seeing how her on a poster is egotistical. Especially when it’s not like she’s the one who made the poster.
I know right? Hypocrisy at it’s best!
Actually, I think it’s pretty egotistical to turn a serious movie, about trauma, depression, and prescription drug abuse, into nothing more than Oscar bait. Many people struggle with these problems and she hasn’t addressed that. Instead, her interviews focus on how the beautiful Jennifer Aniston has found it “dreamy and empowering” and so BRAVE to not wear make-up. Therefore, give ME that Oscar. She turned a serious story into all about ME.
The combination of grim expression, enhanced blue eyes and pale greyish everything else = zombie.
People rag on her for making light, feel good movies & now this. What’s with all the grumpy, snide remarks? Studios make the PR materials, not the actors. Seen her in interviews, she doesn’t seem to take herself too seriously; blathering on about “her craft” etc. I like the fact she’s taking a breather from the genre that has brought her so much success. Btw, I thought she was excellent in The Good Girl.
