[NEWS] Jen Is Announced as a Nominee for the 2015 Golden Globes & Screen Actors Guild awards

2015 May be Jen's year of redemption as a film actress. Her 2010's career has had hits like (2011) 'Horrible Bosses', and (2013) 'We're the Millers'; and misses (2010) action/comedy-romance film The Bounty Hunter - a film that earned several Golden Raspberry award nominations. Although recently film critics and audiences alike have been raging about the actresses performance in her latest drama film 'Cake', which is generating Oscar buzz; she has recently been announced as a nominee for Best Lead Actress on two other award-worthy lists - The 72nd Annual Golden Globe awards and the 21st Annual Screen Actors Guild awards. In the category for Best Lead of the Year in a Drama film, Aniston, will be competing against the following actresses: Felicity Jones as Jane Wilde-Hawking in biographical/drama film The Theory of Everything, Julianne Moore as Dr. Alice Howland in drama film Still Alice, Rosamand Pike as Amy Elliott-Dunne in thriller/drama film Gone Girl, and Reese Witherspoon as Cheryl Strayed in drama film Wild. Though we're sure each actress gives award-worthy performances in their own ways you can judge for yourselves by viewing the trailers displayed at the bottom.

She's best known as a television actress, but broke out in film with enduring success as a rom-com actress. This is Aniston's third drama film aside from her previous performances in (2002) The Good Girl, and (2006) Friends with Money. Both of those were independent films as well, and she really thought she had her foot in the door with The Good Girl; which was the actresses first award-worthy film performance. Critics were disappointed - as well as outraged - that the actress's performance was overlooked by the academy after she wasn't at least nominated for an Academy award. It's been five years since the actress earned her Emmy nomination for Outstanding Guest Actress on a Comedy Series after making a guest appearance on comedy series 30 Rock, and over a decade since she won her well-deserved Golden Globe for Best Lead Actress of the Year in a Comedy Series for her performance as Rachel Green on NBC's Friends. This is her third general Golden Globe as well as Screen Actors Guild award nomination, but her first of these nominations for film.

 You'd think Jones is a new comer with what seems like the actresses breakout performance, but she's almost an old pro when it comes to film.  She first gained award-worthy recognition for her performance in (2011) romance/drama Like Crazy. Most recently she has co-starred in superhero/action film The Amazing Spider-Man 2 as Felicia Hardy opposite of actor Andrew Garfield. This is her first Golden Globe as well as Screen Actors Guild award nominations.

 Active in film since the '90s this is Moore's seventh Golden Globe award nomination, and her fifth Screen Actors Guild award nomination. Her first award-worthy recognized performance was in '97's drama film Boogie Nights, which also earned the actress her first Oscar nomination as well. She's won a Golden Globe as well as a SAG award for her portrayal as Sarah Palin in made-for television film Game Change.

Pike's first award-worthy performance was when she starred opposite of actor Pierce Brosnan in (2002) spy/action film Die Another Day earning her a Saturn award nomination. This counts as her first Golden Globe nominations, but her second Screen Actors Guild award nomination since her performance in (2009) coming-of-age/drama film An Education.

If you ask a film critic what her best performance is they'll probably reply "Walk the Line", which is true - to some, and gained her award recognition earning the actress her first Academy award. However, some critics may disagree and tell you "Legally Blonde", which is also true - to some - depending on if you're a fan of her comedic work or her work in drama. This marks her fourth Golden Globe nomination and her second Screen Actors Guild nomination since she earned it in '06 for her performance as June Carter-Cash in Walk the Line, which was over a decade ago already.
