I'm going to play Devil's Advocate. The GG nom doesn't mean much to me. Truly it's become a night for the stars to get dressed up - it's been known for a while that the noms cannot be taken seriously.

However, she got nommed for SAG's and that's a big deal. Despite my earlier views and thinking that it was a crowded field of really good female performances that she might get left out of - the SAG's are a HUGE indicator for the Academy Awards.

However, I don't think she'll take it out.

I love her eyes, complexion and hair. Even the house she built is perfection, IMO. I am a fan! Of that, anyway. :laugh:

Oh yeah, me too. And I'm a fan of Horrible Bosses and Office Space. Big fan of those two. And her clothes, her bags, her shoes, etc. I would kill to have a body like hers for just one day, but I can't seem to put down the chocolate to get it done soo...:p

I don't think she'll win either (my early pick is Julianne Moore in 'Still Alice' - I'd also like to see Hilary Swank get a nom for her role in 'You're Not You'. I'm surprised she's been overlooked), but seeing as the SAGs are voted on by the actors themselves, I'd say that means her peers think she did an amazing job in that film - that is, unless people think she's paying the actors off for votes. Maybe she agrees to appear on their talk show, or co-star in their movie, or say that they're friends in exchange for their vote. Cuz apparently, a lot of people think there's no way she really deserves to be nominated - even though tons of people go on and on about how she's always playing the same character/role & that she has no range. Yet the two noms she's gotten for films are roles where she played characters that are the total opposite of what she usually plays.

Actually I saw Cake at the film festival and I thought she was playing a rich, depressed, still very selfish, very annoying Rachel, in a sense. I guess I mean I never forgot who I was watching. :shrugs:

But I never forget I am watching George Clooney, either, so whatever… lol

I'm sorry, but Jen doesn't seem to be the kind of person who the least bit cares about an award. I do believe she believed in the film and wanted it to be seen - if being seen means she got an award nomination, then good for her, but I don't believe that was her motivation. If awards were her motivation, I think she'd be choosing different projects instead of the standard RomCom that she seems comfortable with. The last time she was recognized for her work, and received a few nominations was for The Good Girl. Both roles dramatic, both roles requiring her to play total opposite from what she usually plays (and what she's most known for). Perhaps they recognize that it takes actual talent to step outside ones comfort zone and play a character completely against type.

And before anyone jumps on me, I don't think nominations are always made based purely on merit. I do think there's stuff going on behind the scenes, but I also don't believe that every nomination is bought. After those emails were leaked yesterday, I think theres more than payoffs going on that prevented Angelina from being nominated. I don't think she's got the respect of the people who's opinions matter the most

This interview she says she really lobbied hard to get this role. She formed her own production company and met with the director to get him to cast her. She wasn't offered the film first.

"I mean, honestly, it was out to someone else, so I had to just say, “Please! Please!” I just kept checking in, checking in and finding if there was a moment where there would be a window. Of course, people were dying to play that part. And then Daniel heard that I was really interested, and took a meeting with me."

I disagree that Angelina can only act "crazy". I think she is good to great in almost every film I have ever seen her.

I don't think Jennifer Aniston will win an Oscar but I would be thrilled if she was nominated.

Don't actors and actresses vote for the SAG awards and the whole membership of the Academy (whoever they are) votes for the Academy awards?

I like Jennifer but I don't think she acts very well. I haven't seen the movie but first thought that came to my mind was "if you lose, gain a lot of weight for a role or make yourself look ugly, you are going to be nominated for an award."

I don't go see her movies, but the few I've seen she isn't "Rachel" to me. She was funny in Office Space, dramatic in The Break Up and I like Derailed. Those may be all I've seen, lol!
I don't feel like I have to like her less if I like AJ or vice versa. It's ok to like both, seems like so many people are still on a "team"! lol!

This is outside her stereotypical role, so if she did well in it and physically transformed to become the character then good for her for the acknowledgment.
