But the evergreen actress won the best on-screen dirtbag award at this year's MTV Movie Awards for her performance as a sex crazed dentist in Horrible Bosses.
She managed to beat off her co-star Colin Farrell to take the award, who was nominated for his turn as psychologically unstable Bobby Pellitt.

Who needs an Oscar: Jennifer Aniston finally landed a major film prize after winning best on-screen dirtbag at the MTV Movie awards tonight
Jennifer, 43, is the first person to win the award which was introduced this year to celebrate the silver screen's most cringe-worthy characters.
She told the crowd: 'I mean, do you know how long I have tried to have somebody let me unleash my on-screen dirtbag? A really long time.
'And thank God this category just popped up.
'So I would like to say "thank you" to the television show 'Friends' for letting me unleash the inner sweetheart and here's to [director] Seth Gordon for allowing me to be a dirtbag.'
Savouring the moment: Jennifer was as pleased as punch after receiving her gong at the popular show
Jennifer faced some stiff competition for the prize, but her display as Dr Julia Harris in the film, in which she memorably ate a banana while in her underwear, was enough to see her home.
The other contenders for the award was Bryce Dallas Howard for her turn as racist Miss Hilly in The Help, Kristen Wiig's repellent friend with benefits Jon Hamm in Bridesmaids and Project X party boy Oliver Cooper.
And there was also a moment of drama before Jennifer went on stage to receive her golden popcorn award.

After emerging to announce the nominees an audience member heckled a shocked Mila Kunis.
Luckily her butch fellow presenter Mark Wahlberg stepped in, saying: 'And here I thought I was going to have to slap Russell.'
The dynamic duo then shrugged the incident off and got onto the serious business of presenting their award.
