At time of going to press, two major Hollywood comedies - Rumour Has It, starring Jennifer Aniston and Kevin Costner, and Fun With Dick And Jane, starring Jim Carrey and Tea Leoni - had yet to be screened, although both the films and their stars are eligible for the Globes in the comedy and musical categories.
Born in Sherman Oaks, CA and raised in New York City, Jennifer Aniston is a versatile actress who was exposed to acting at an early age by her father, John Aniston, who starred on NBC's daytime drama Days of Our Lives, and her godfather, the late Telly Savalas.
Aniston is best known for her role as “Rachel Green” in the hit ensemble comedy Friends, in which she starred with Courteney Cox-Arquette, Matt LeBlanc, Matthew Perry, David Schwimmer, and Lisa Kudrow, on NBC.
Her work as "Rachel Green” has earned her two Emmy Award nominations for Best Supporting Actress and, four People's Choice Awards for Best Actress in a Comedy Series, two Screen Actors Guild Award nominations for Best Actress in a Comedy, as well as nominations for a Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actress in a Comedy, Drama or Mini-series and for Best Performance by a Lead Actress in a Comedy Series. She won her first Emmy in 2002 as Lead Actress in a Comedy Series as well as her first Golden Globe Award in 2003 as Best Performance by a Lead Actress in a Comedy Series. She recently received her third Emmy nomination for Lead Actress in a Comedy Series.
Aniston's previous television credits include series regular roles on The Edge, as well as Ferris Bueller, a recurring role on Herman's Head and guest-starring roles on such series as Quantum Leap and Burke's Law.
In addition to the massive success she has achieved on the small screen, Aniston continues to branch out with very different roles on the silver screen. Aniston was most recently seen starring along side Ben Stiller in Universal's Along Came Polly. She also starred opposite Jim Carrey and Morgan Freeman in the smash hit Tom Shadyac comedy, Bruce Almighty. She also starred in Miguel Arteta's critically acclaimed third film, The Good Girl, opposite Jake Gyllenhaal, John C. Reilly and Zooey Deschanel, a role for which Aniston earned an Independent Spirit Award nomination.
Additionally, Aniston's film credits include: Rock Star, opposite Mark Wahlberg and directed by Stephen Herek; She's the One opposite director Ed Burns and Cameron Diaz; Picture Perfect opposite Kevin Bacon and Olympia Dukakis, directed by Glenn Gordon Caron; `Til There Was You, with Jeanne Tripplehorn, Sarah Jessica Parker and Dylan McDermott and the critically praised The Object of My Affection opposite Paul Rudd. Her other film credits include Office Space and Dreams for an Insomniac.
Aniston recently completed production on the Rob Reiner film Rumor Has It for Warner Bros. The presence of Jennifer Aniston in the lead and an ensemble including Kevin Costner, Shirley MacLaine, Mark Ruffalo and Mena Suvari failed to ignite audience interest and a $7.5m four-day weekend is unlikely to please anyone involved. Jennifer also recently completed filming the romantic comedy The Break Up with co-star Vince Vaughn.
