2014 was a year of mirrored Best Actress hopefuls launched at the Toronto International Film Festival: out of nowhere, Julianne Moore capitalized on a \u201cweak\u201d field and finally won for Still Alice<\/i>. And then, ultimately snubbed on nomination morning after being recognized by the other big prizes, there was Jennifer Aniston in Cake<\/i>.<\/p>\n

Notorious among Oscar watchers, Cake<\/i> stars Aniston as a woman dealing with grief and chronic pain, and felt like a dubious candidate from the beginning. Was it the bad reviews, or was it the public\u2019s sometimes cruel consideration of Aniston\u2019s film career, or was it \u201cAnna Kendrick as imaginary friend on a pool inflatable nudging her into suicide\u201d that spelled disaster? Regardless, Aniston\u2019s snub was perhaps the year\u2019s least shocking \u201cmost shocking\u201d missed nomination.<\/p>\n

This week, we get into 2014\u2032s bench of great, but less Oscar-friendly lead female performances, the mythos of Aniston, and detour into Gaga Five Foot Two<\/i>.<\/p>\n
