Despite receiving nominations for prestigious awards such as the Golden Globe, Critics’ Choice, and SAG Award for her role in the film Cake, Jennifer Aniston did not make it on the list of Oscar nods that were announced on Thursday. Nevertheless, she is taking the situation in a lighthearted manner, humorously referring to herself as the “number one snubbed” during her recent appearance on Ellen’s show. Additionally, during the episode, Ellen, who is turning 56 soon, playfully parodied a recent, somewhat controversial, topless photo of Jennifer, who is 45 years old.
Jennifer Aniston expressed her optimism despite not receiving an Oscar nomination for her role in the film Cake. During her appearance on Ellen’s show, the host commended Jennifer’s exceptional performance and expressed surprise over her lack of an Oscar nomination. Ellen also pointed out that the discussions surrounding Jennifer’s snub could be considered a form of recognition in itself. Jennifer agreed with a positive attitude, describing herself as the “number one snubbed” and finding a silver lining in the situation. The film Cake is set to hit theaters on January 23rd.
Oh la la: While hosting the show, the talk show host, who is turning 56 in a week, also playfully imitated a recent and somewhat controversial topless photograph of the 45-year-old actress.
During her narration of the film’s plot, she summarized, “The movie revolves around a woman who chooses to embrace life…in a nutshell. She goes through an incredibly tragic experience, enduring a horrific car accident and facing profound personal loss. Not only does she bear physical scars, but she also finds herself tangled in the clutches of addiction to drugs and alcohol. She reaches a point where she doesn’t have the will to live. She struggles to make the decision between life and death. This film takes us on her journey as she embarks on the path to choosing to live.”
Intimate female friends: Ellen recently shared an edited picture of two women embracing without their tops on, replacing their faces with hers and Jennifer’s.
During a conversation, Ellen also brought up Jennifer’s photograph in the latest edition of Allure magazine, where she can be seen embracing her long-time hairstylist, Chris McMillan. It was with Chris’s help that Jennifer achieved her famous hairstyle, known as ‘The Rachel,’ during her time on the popular TV show Friends from 1994 to 2004.
Ellen mentioned that she doesn’t find anything strange about the photo, but many people have expressed their surprise and curiosity, saying things like, “Oh, you’re hugging Chris without your top!” The actress from Horrible Bosses also noted that inquiries about the image have been directed towards her fiancé, Justin Theroux.
Looking absolutely stunning, the actress from The Cake made a fashion statement in an elegant white mini-dress, highlighting her perfectly toned legs. The crowd burst into laughter when she jokingly explained the backstory of a photograph where she was seen embracing a naked guy. Playfully, she mentioned that the man in question is like a brother to her. Ellen amusingly pointed out that Jennifer’s comment about their sibling-like bond only made the situation seem more peculiar.
Taking a positive perspective: “The remarkable aspect is that it brings satisfaction, considering the multitude of conversations surrounding your exclusion from the nominations. It’s undoubtedly a personal victory,” expressed Ellen.
Humorous: “Ha! I guess I’m officially the champion of being snubbed,” Jennifer chuckled. “Well, at least there’s a small positive side to it.”
Jennifer struggled to find the right words. “I honestly have no idea how to escape from this situation,” she admitted. “It’s just one of those perplexing things.”
“By the way, Chris is like a dear friend to me in a unique way. It’s hard to describe, but I can be completely myself around him because he’s gay,” she explained.
She continued, “But honestly, if it were a girlfriend, I’d feel really awkward posing for a photo like that with her. It’s a whole different dynamic.”
Fierce Rivalry: At last, Jennifer and Ellen engaged in a playful activity that involved gently propelling cakes towards selected individuals in the audience, aiming to hit them with remarkable precision.
Oh no, that’s totally unfair! The actress from Friends sprinted towards the young girl, ready to fling the pie right at her face.
“What on earth are you saying?” Ellen shouted in disbelief. “The photoshoot we did was absolutely incredible!”
She then unveiled a picture of two women embracing topless, cleverly edited with Jennifer and her faces superimposed onto them.
To add even more fun to the mix, Jennifer and Ellen engaged in a friendly contest where they aimed cake at a few lucky audience members’ faces, competing to see who could hit their targets with greater precision.
As a special treat, the two individuals who received a cake to the face were extended an invitation to attend Ellen’s birthday show.
Skillful: Jennifer’s exceptional talent earned her recognition as a nominee for esteemed accolades including a Golden Globe, Critics’ Choice Award, and SAG Award for Best Actress in her upcoming film, Cake, set to be released in theaters on January 23.
