In 2024, Jennifer Aniston was notably absent from the BAFTA Awards, but her presence was strongly felt at the People's Choice Awards, where she received well-deserved recognition.
Jennifer Aniston won the Drama TV Star Award for her role in The Morning Show. Despite missing the BAFTAs, Aniston's star power shone brightly as she clinched the win, marking her first victory of the year. This victory was especially sweet as it came after she had presented the People's Icon Award to her co-star, Adam Sandler, earlier in the evening.
Aniston's success didn't stop there; she was nominated for two categories at the People's Choice Awards: Female TV Star of the Year and Drama TV Star of the Year. Ultimately, she secured the Drama TV Star of the Year award, surpassing seven other nominees, including Pedro Pascal. While fans initially hoped to see Aniston grace the BAFTA red carpet, her absence turned out to be serendipitous, allowing her to fully shine at the People's Choice Awards. Her presence was celebrated, and her talent was acknowledged with not just one, but two memorable moments on stage.
After emotionally accepting the award from Jon Hamm, Jennifer Aniston delivered her speech, saying, "Jon Hamm, Hammer Time. Oh my God, this is so incredible, you guys. I can't tell you. I love - thank you, by the way. I love - I love you. Thank you. I love doing our Morning Show. We have so much fun."
Addressing Jon Hamm, Aniston said, "This guy has been nothing but incredible, as you know." She added, "And our whole cast, our crew, we love them. And I just have to say, I've been doing this for a really long time. Longer than I want to mention, but it's only - the reason I'm standing here today, honestly, is only because of you, the people. Because I wouldn't be here. None of us would be here without you. So this means the world to me, and I really appreciate it from the bottom of my heart. Thank you."
