Aniston just keeps coming back from the dead
February 3, 2011
After years of whining, complaining and actually being in physical pain in front of a TV, I have been completely validated in my opinion that Jennifer Aniston is one of the most over-glorified actresses to ever grace the silver screen.
Let me just get a few things out of the way right now, before you all freak out, rip up your newspaper and come stomping to find me: 1 – Jennifer Aniston is hott. 2 – Jennifer Aniston was fine in “Friends,” which was a good show.
Now, let’s get down to business:
Jennifer Aniston is not a talented actress. I do not care if boys think she is sexy, I do not care if it was “Jen and Brad 4-ever,” I do not care if “she seems nice” and I do not care if you wanted her hair when you were 12.
Aniston has been nominated for a “Razzie,” and rightfully so. If you don’t know what that is, it’s an award that goes to the worst actors, actresses and films nominated for the year. Aniston has been nominated for Worst Actress, and is up against some cutthroat competition: Miley Cyrus, Megan Fox, Kristen Stewart and the four ‘gal pals’ from “Sex and the City 2” (I don’t think I really need to state that I agree with all of these choices, 100 percent).
Unsurprisingly, Aniston has been nominated for a “Razzie” before, in 1997 for Worst New Star, and was accompanied by her fellow “Friends” stars Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc and David Schwimmer. Needless to say, all of these actors and actresses have obviously tried to break into the movie business and have all had pretty terrible flops. But for some ungodly reason, Aniston has stuck around, probably only because of Pitt and her ability to play the jaded, betrayed wife.
According to Internet Movie Database (IMDb), Aniston has only won 22 awards out of the mere 61 that she has been nominated for. All of her awards won were for “Friends,” except for a “Teen Choice Award” and a “Kid’s Choice Award” (ironic that they are small children?), both of which rewarded her for being in the movie “The Break-Up.”
Remember I said “Friends” was good? Yeah, it was. I think America agrees with me, because it’s the only thing that Aniston is worth being recognized for. Maybe it’s because she is so mediocre in all of her films. She literally plays Rachelle Green from “Friends” in every movie she is in. She has no dynamic, no depth and no true acting abilities. She only has about four faces in her acting repertoire and that’s about as many as my dog has: sad face, angry face, happy face and sleeping.
The only thing that makes me not rate Aniston as a zero on my awesome-actress-meter is the fact that Chelsea Handler is best friends with her. I can’t understand why or how, but Chelsea Handler is the bee’s knees, hands down, and has a rockin’ personality. So I give Aniston a .5, which just really feels way too generous.
