Queen of Pain

And Jennifer Aniston’s first serious Oscar-contending turn is just about ready to be seen.

Cake, L’Aniston’s latest vanity-free project, will get an Academy Award-qualifying run next month. For it, America’s favorite Friend eschewed the trappings of traditional movie hair and make-up to play a pills-addicted accident victim experiencing chronic pain who becomes morbidly fascinated by the suicide of a member (Anna Kendrick) of her chronic pain support group.

Sam Worthington portrays Kendrick’s character’s widower, a man with whom Aniston’s Claire forms a sort of bond.

Check out the trailer for the film, which already has proved quite the polarizing subject matter for the good ol people of the online community. Som’in’ about how talk of L’Aniston potentially getting a nom is like, silly stuff.

Which I disagree with: Girlfriend can act. She has a Golden Globe and an Emmy that proves, albeit, yes, for a comedy project.

But we all know how much harder than drama comedy can be.
