The other actresses who received nominations in the category include Felicity Jones for Theory of Everything, Julianne Moore for Still Alice, Rosamund Pike for Gone Girl and Reese Witherspoon for Wild.

While Angelina Jolie was hotly tipped to get a nomination for Best Director for her upcoming film Unbroken, it looks like she's not getting much love from the industry this year. She also failed to grab a nomination for her role in Maleficent as well.

Meanwhile, Aniston has revealed that she is always looking for "challenging" roles in her work.

According to Yahoo News on Monday, Aniston recently sat down with actresses Jessica Chastain, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Shailene Woodley and Emily Blunt in a round-table discussion about their films.

She said, "I'm always trying to find the great small roles; the stronger sort of slice of life, complex. And I've been doing fart jokes for a long time, which I love immensely, but I think it does allow you to sort of take care of business and then you can also spend the time with these little labors of love which I've come to discover you sometimes have to create for yourself."

Aniston also compared her roles in Cake and her other new film, Horrible Bosses 2, saying "I had a lot of empathy for her, well not Dr. Julia - she's just god awful and just a horn dog. But I felt extreme... She's extremely horny. But for Claire I just had a lot of empathy for her struggle and I think she is beautiful. And I think her problems and her choices and her journey is beautiful in the fact that we feel empathy for people going through pain."

So far, Aniston has not made any comments about her nomination, although she is hotly tipped to be receiving an Oscar nomination for her work as well.
