Jennifer Aniston Says She Couldn't Have Done 'Cake' Five Years Ago

Jennifer Aniston strikes a pose at Cinema Prive and Pandora Jewelry Host A Special Screening Of Cake on Sunday evening (November 23) in West Hollywood, Calif.
Recently, the 45-year-old actress was commended by her Horrible Bosses 2 co-star Jason Bateman.

“I’ve never seen you do anything like that before, I never doubted you could do something like that before, but I’ve never seen it,” he told Jennifer during an event he was moderating. “You’ve never been asked to do that.”
Jennifer responded, saying: “I don’t think I could have done this five or 10 years ago. I don’t know if I could have brought to the part then what I brought now: A level of fearlessness.”

She was overlooked at the Independent Spirit Awards for a nom (and the ISA's are usually one of the "litmus test awards) and its a crowded field with contenders far more talented.

Julianne Moore
Tilda Swinton
Marion Cotillard
Jenny Slate
Rinko Kikuchi

These actresses are also amazing in roles this year: Rosamund Pike and Jessica Chastain.

I doubt she'll get an Oscar nom.

My bet is Julianne Moore or Marion Cotillard taking it out.

I don't think she'll get one either, but it sets the stage for next year perhaps.

She's really trying though, isn't she. It's so obvious. She's everywhere and getting her famous friends to use phrases like "Oscar buzz" when discussing her.

Whatever. She believes in her movie. The Hollywood Reporter thinks she used her own money to get the thing distributed, since no studios wanted to pick it up.

She's getting her friends to say Oscar Buzz? lol!

Good for her for believing in it, better to put your money and energy into projects that are meaningful to you. I've been seeing Reese doing a lot more legwork on her movie lately than Jen though. Based on Jen's history of roles, I'm not sure she cares a lot about an Oscar.

Yes, indeed.

Here's an example… she's good friends with Jimmy Kimmel. (They vacation in Mexico together.) He invites her on his show and tells the audience she could win an oscar for her role.

She also vacations with Jason Bateman and he also was quoted as saying this movie has generated oscar buzz for Aniston.

Stuff like that.

Or perhaps....they are her friends and like her, want to support her and enjoy saying nice things about her and to her :shrugs:

Doesn't mean she has asked them to or that it is anything insidious.

Yup, at the end of the day, say what you want about this woman, she has a ton of loyal friends. That, and 150 mil, give or take a few, lol, is WAY better than some will ever have. :graucho:

Sadly, that's actually how this entertainment stuff works. They really do get their friends to create buzz for them and yes they do ask them. Now if Jen has done that, who knows but it's not unheard of in Hollywood and happens more often than you think. Same thing done by musicians, politicians, etc. They get someone to create a buzz on their behalf, sometimes they do it directly, their agent does it on their behalf or their PR person ask someone to mention it while at an appearance/press event.

I think it's funny that people think there's a conversation that occurs where she or others are asking people to do this. I see Reese and AJ all over right now too, I guess they're all twisting people's arms?
Sorry, I'm not naturally so cynical so the conspiracy theories always tickle me, lol! They all have an obligation to do the talk shows and interviews. . .
If I was a host and had any friend promoting I wouldn't have to be asked :)

Swanky, no one said anything about arm twisting. They are good friends and know she wants that Oscar nod. This is show business, you know. lol
