Jennifer Aniston is elated as she accepts her award on stage at the 2014 People Magazine Awards held at The Beverly Hilton Hotel on Thursday evening (December 18) in Beverly Hills, Calif.

The 45-year-old actress was presented with the Movie Performance of the Year: Actress award by her good friend John Krasinski.

Earlier in the month, Jennifer stopped by The Queen Latifah Show where she called up her old boss at New York City’s Jackson Hole, where she worked as a waitress before she made it big.

“Thank you for supporting me all those years, it meant the world to me,” she told him. Watch below!



LOVE the black/white dress here.
 
She's already been nominated for a Golden Globe and a Critics Choice Award for her performance in Cake.

The 45-year-old was clearly moved as John Krasinski announced her win at the ceremony hosted by Nick Cannon.

Aniston won Movie Performance Of The Year for her turn in Cake. She walked to the stage amidst a resounding standing ovation.
‘This is so exciting. Is this real life?’ she gushed, clearly overtaken.
‘I really now have experience what a labour of love truly means. This movie was nothing short of that.’

Is Swanky reading this. :) :) ;)

You know her publicist Stephen Huvane, has a hand in this when you read the words, "Oscar Buzz" and JA in the same sentence.

They also hired Lisa Tayback, who runs Oscar campaigns and wins. This year Huvane hired her to run Jennifer Aniston's Oscar Campaign.

Any guesses if it will pay off? Lisa Tayback is very, very good…

Like I said before, they get people to plant Oscar buzz (even their friends) and their PR people push that agenda if they think there's a decent shot of winning. This is old HW business and not a new construct.
 
Thing is, it's usually the studios paying for the Oscar push, but in this case, no studio picked up the movie for distribution, so according to the Hollywood Reporter, she financed the distribution herself.

In that case, she paid the Oscar Campaign lady, to do the push for her, out of her own pocket, just as she paid to distribute the film.

Which isn't bad thing, it means she really, really believes in the film and put her own money into it. That's quite rare in Hollywood, isn't it?

Yes, I too wonder if it will pay off, I think it will, or should, rather…
