Aniston Receives 2013 Bimbo Bakery Award for Sexiest On-Screen Dirt Bag in Horrible Bosses
HORSHAM, PA. For her role in the 2011 movie Horrible Bosses, Jennifer Aniston has received the Bimbo Bakery award for "Sexiest On-Screen Dirt Bag". Ms. Aniston had no comment, but I do!
I actually have not been much of a Jennifer Aniston fan until I saw her in this movie. Aniston played Dr. Julia Harris, D.D.S., a sexually compulsive dentist who harasses her dental assistant, Dale Arbus played by Charlie Day. For her performance, she has already won the 2012 MTV Movie Award in the category "Best On-Screen Dirt Bag," and now the coveted Bimbo Bakery award.
The clips above show her locking Charlie Day in her office while she is only wearing a white dental coat and a thong (maybe nylons), shows the compromising still photographs she has on Dale while he was anesthetized for some complementary dental work, and her undressing and performing from her front window for Kurt Buckman (played by Jason Sudeikis) who is supposed to be keeping her under surveillance. For the part, Aniston insisted on dying her hair brunette to look different from the other characters she had played.
The film has received mixed but positive reviews. The negative reviews considered it homophobic, misogynist and racist. The positive reviews thought that the ensemble casting and acting were all well done for what the film essentially was, "moronic, vulgar and juvenile". Of Jennifer Aniston's role, Roger Ebert commented that it was a surprise, a return to form with acute comic timing and hilariously enacted "alarming sexual hungers".
I would have to agree with Roger Ebert. While there were great comic performances put in by Charlie Day, Jason Bateman, Jason Sudeikis, Colin Farrell, Kevin Spacey, and Jamie Foxx (Motherfuckah Jones), Jennifer Aniston really stole the movie. Although Ms. Aniston is clearly a beautiful woman, as a blond I never found her that attractive. As a brunette, she was devastating. But wait a minute, in this role she was not supposed to be really attractive. In fact, she was supposed to be repulsive. Somehow she managed to play a dirt-bag role and still look sexy, no mean accomplishment! A fitting performance for the 2013 Bimbo Bakery award in this category.

What weighs a metric ton and has red hair?
Mike Meyer's Austin Powers movies are some of my favorites (as were all the James Bond films he was parodying). In this scene, Fat Bastard (played by Meyers, I didn't realize this the first time I saw the movie--the fat suit was designed by special effects master Stan Winston) is in bed with the spy Felicity Shagwell (Heather Graham). Her mission is to plant a homing device on Fat Bastard, a morbidly obese Scottish henchman of Dr. Evil (also played by Myers, who evidently modeled him after Lorne Michaels--Myers was on Saturday Night Live from 1989-95, with guest appearances up to 2011). In the scene above, Shagwell attempts to insert the homing device into Fat Bastard's rectum--an unforgettable scene with unforgettable dialog ("I'm dead sexy. Look at my sexy body...By the way, would you like some chicken, I've got some more..." and "Ooooh, frisky are we?").
Here are a few more unforgettable Fat Bastard scenes, especially "I eat because I'm unhappy...":
