This is definitely not the best week of Angelina Jolie's life, that's for sure. While she has been traveling all over the place to successfully promote the new film that she has directed, "Unbroken", things that are beyond her control have to be weighing heavily. First Jolie's name was connected to those leaked Sony emails, with studio execs calling her "spoiled" and "marginally talented", then she was shut out of both SAG and Golden Globe nominations. Now Jolie is going to have to sit out several appearances connected to "Unbroken" because she has been diagnosed with the chicken pox. -
Jennifer Aniston's 'Cake' Shut Out of Independent Spirit Award Nominations

It is actually exactly the kind of part she needed to take in order to prove that she could portray someone other than a character similar to Rachel Green from "Friends" on the big screen.

That is why it comes as a semi-shock that Cake did not grab even a single nomination for the 2015 Independent Spirit Awards.The list of nominations was released yesterday, and Aniston was not in it. The Independent Spirit Awards nomination list is what technically kicks off awards season, and everything from this point on is just another step toward Oscar. Aniston, after months of Hollywood invisibility, has really been hitting the bricks to promote Cake. She has even shown up for various parties that are considered necessary to attend if you want the Academy to take you seriously. -

Jennifer Aniston Embraced Makeunder for Oscar-Contending Role in 'Cake'
Finally, Jennifer Aniston has a movie coming out that is generating some serious buzz. "Cake" is an upcoming indie drama that, after premiering to a standing ovation at the Toronto Film Festival, already has the phrase "Oscar contender" attached to it.
