Aniston is in the running for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Leading Role, along with Reese Witherspoon (Wild), Felicity Jones (The Theory of Everything), Rosamund Pike (Gone Girl) and Julianne Moore (Still Alice).

As is preordained, Modern Family will compete for best comedy series ensemble and Julie Bowen is up for best actress.
