BOB MARLEY: ONE LOVE Featurette

Official Poster For "CAKE" Starring Jennifer Aniston

The Emmy, Golden Globe and SAG award winner now hopes to add an Oscar to her mantelpiece for her work as a car crash survivor suffering from chronic pain

The drama, a possible Oscar vehicle for Jennifer Aniston, had its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival in September, where it received a standing ovation. It will have an awards-qualifying run next month; and will then expand into more theaters in January.

In the Daniel Barnz-directed title — which was shot in just 33 days and will be the first film ever released by Cinelou Releasing, the new distribution arm of the production company that made it, Mark Canton and Courtney Solomon's Cinelou Films — Aniston, sans makeup (except for fake facial scars), plays a woman who survives a car crash that leaves her in chronic pain, and then becomes obsessed with getting to the bottom of the death of a fellow member of her support group.

The film also stars Anna Kendrick (the other woman) and Sam Worthington (the other woman's husband), as well as Chris Messina, Felicity Huffman, William H. Macy, Mamie Gummer and notorious scene-stealer Adrianna Barraza, a best supporting actress Oscar nominee for 2006's Babel who could land back in that category this year. It also features the last performance of character actress Misty Upham, who was found dead last month.

But it is Aniston whose perf has generated the most buzz, with some suggesting that she could emerge from this year's unusually thin best actress field to land an Oscar nom. Though best known for her work as Rachel on TV's Friends, she has also done fine work in films big (Along Came Polly, The Break-Up, We're the Millers) and small (Office Space, The Good Girl, Management), but this appears to be her best shot yet at landing a nom. (Presumably for this reason, she has retained the services of one of the top Oscar consultants, Lisa Taback.)

Sex Tape Review: Overly Sexual, Rude, Vulgar, and Absolutely Hilarious

The raunchy Sex Tape will divide audiences and critics, but who cares? Sex Tape suggests a growing practice among loving partners: that of making a raunchy testament of their escapades for posterity. But what happens when that evidence gets seen by friends, neighbors, and even the mailman? This is the plot that pits Jay (Jason Segel) and Annie (Cameron Diaz) in an effort to secure every iPad gift Jay has given, his record company playlists being the envy of the recipients, but which has also inadvertently spread the video to every device. The reason for the act - termed in the movie as pulling "the full Lincoln " for its three-hour length - stems from the couple's non-existent social life, brought on by the constant demands of their children. The couple has a lot to lose: a burgeoning business relationship between Annie and Hank (Rob Lowe) could end if the iPad she's given to Hank exposes the video, and so the couple sets out to reclaim and wipe the incrim
