Didn't see a thread started for this. Anyone see it yet? It's starting to screen by this weekend, so I'll probably check it out Saturday morning.

Aniston is a very mediocre actress. I'd need to hear good WOM from this for me to care.

This movie wasn't that good. I think Aniston only got nominations because it isn't her normal role and she didn't embarrass herself.

That's my opinion of all the accolades Sandra Bullock got for The Blind Side.

The point I'm making is the only reason the role got all the attention that it did, is because she generally is in shitty movies. So a decent role in an average movie got her attention, that really wasn't warranted, and definitely didn't really deserve an Oscar.

Great, another movie for this crazy cat lady and it comes along with nominations. Which means more crazy cat lady interviews crying about Pittface.

I like Aniston a lot in her comedic roles (esp the Horrible Bosses movies) and she was solid in Good Girl, but I haven't seen Cake, and I don't get why so many people have so much venom against her. She's still pretty hot for a 46 year old.
