Ever since &#8217;96 to 2024, <a href="https://www.netflixjunkie.com/tag/jennifer-aniston/">Jennifer Aniston</a> has juggled more hats than a circus performer, strutting her stuff in both the acting and producing arenas. Her Friends days are pure evident of how she made Rachel Green the talk of the town. With the awards season, everyone has been throwing predictions around like confetti – Oppenheimer going all Barbie, Cillian Murphy stealing the spotlight, you name it. But in the midst of all the buzz, Aniston&#8217;s name on the SAG ballot was like bringing a cannon to a water fight, thanks to The Morning Show.
The SAG awards were like her personal treasure chest, scoring wins in &#8217;96 and 2020. Despite multiple nominations, she only grabbed two victories, with the latest one in 2020. Now, cue the drumroll for 2024. Could she pull off another SAG win with her A-game performance?
<h3>The SAG saga of Jennifer Aniston: A Hollywood script of nominations</h3>
Back in the Friends era, Aniston snagged a whopping nine nominations, with seven in the Best Comedy Cast category (clinching one victory there) and the remaining two for the best comedy actress. Then, in 2014, she threw a curveball with the indie drama Cake, earning her first-ever SAG nomination for a motion picture. Talk about a change of pace. Now, The Morning Show has added a cool five more SAG nods to her collection – three solo for Aniston and two as part of the stellar cast.

Aniston, in a bit of an upset move, walked away with the Best Drama Actress statuette four years back, beating out Olivia Colman from <a href="https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/the-crown/">The Crown</a>. It was like a Hollywood plot twist, with Aniston claiming the spotlight in a surprise victory. The SAG journey for Aniston reads like a blockbuster script, filled with twists, turns, and a well-deserved dose of accolades.
<h3>The redemption of the vote-splitting favor </h3>
Travel back two years, and Aniston faced off with HoYeon Jung in a head-to-head clash during the SAG showdown. Next showdown was a vote-splitting conundrum with her The Morning Show comrade Reese Witherspoon. Moreover, it added an unexpected twist to the tale. Sadly, despite Aniston&#8217;s stellar performance, victory slipped through her fingers. This year it is Elizabeth Debicki, Bella Ramsey, Keri Russell and Sarah Snook in the winning picture.

Fast forward to the present, and here comes the plot twist – Witherspoon is out of the picture this time. <a href="https://www.netflixjunkie.com/hollywood-news-its-just-in-our-dna-jennifer-aniston-gushes-on-her-sisterhood-with-the-morning-show-co-star-reese-witherspoon/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Despite gushing over their sisterhood</a>, this absence clears the path for Aniston to shine in the SAG spotlight. In the realm of awards, Aniston&#8217;s journey reads like a suspenseful novel, with each chapter bringing a new layer of drama. The absence of her co-star and the weight of her SAG victories become the trump card in this cinematic race. Will Aniston make a triumphant comeback, or will there be another unexpected turn in her quest for the crown?

<h3>The Morning Show&#8217;s winning hand</h3>
For the Friends alum, The Morning Show has played its cards right, snagging nods in various categories. If Aniston had been the lone ranger representing the show, it could have been a bumpy ride. But lo and behold, the guild threw in some plot twists, not just recognizing Aniston&#8217;s brilliance but also tipping its hat to the series with nominations for Best Drama Cast and Best Drama Actor, featuring the charismatic Billy Crudup.

With this broad spectrum of accolades, it was not just a contender anymore – The Morning Show and Aniston are now riding the high waves as serious front-runners. The anticipation is palpable and the ensemble is in the limelight. Furthermore, with all of this in the picture, Aniston&#8217;s victory seems written in the stars. It is a tale of awards and acclaim, a saga unfolding with every nod and wink from the guild.
<h3>Elevating Jennifer Aniston to star status in the SAG spotlight</h3>
Aniston&#8217;s journey from &#8217;96 to 2024 reads like a showbiz rollercoaster. From the iconic Rachel Green days to her venture into producing, Aniston strutted through the entertainment arena with flair. As the awards season kicked in, Aniston, armed with The Morning Show, is all set to turn heads like a Hollywood maestro. Winning the SAG Awards in &#8217;96 and 2020 was just the appetizer; the main course had the intriguing absence of Reese Witherspoon, turning the race into a level playing field for Aniston.
