Jennifer Aniston isn't bitter about her lack of Oscar nomination for her role in Cake saying "it's almost just as good to be number one snubbed than to be nominated."
The 45-year-old actress was tipped to be receive a nomination and she told Bang Showbiz, "'I was amazed at how many messages of 'Shocked!' 'F*** 'em!' and 'Robbed!' I got.
"I found it quite endearing and flattering that I had so many people rooting for me. It was almost just as good to be number one snubbed than to be nominated. Now I don't have any pressure."
Julianne Moore, Reese Witherspoon, Marion Cotillard, Felicity Jones and Rosamund Pike are the nominees for Best Actress at this year's Academy Awards and Aniston has received messages of support from a couple of them, "[Reese] sent me such a sweet email, as did Julianne. They are all amazing women, but you know, we're all rooting for each other and it doesn't take away the work that was done. So it's really, really nice."
The former Friends star added that she was keen to take on the role of a woman suffering with chronic pain in Cake to test herself as an actress, "I needed to do it so I could prove to myself that I was able to do it. So I wasn't sitting there frustrated that I wasn't getting certain parts because they knew something I didn't know - which was that I couldn't do it… It's something I hadn't done before - to take on such a wonderfully layered, complex character.''
