Aniston, who’s costarred with Sandler in Just Go with It, Murder Mystery and Murder Mystery 2 , previously received the Icon honor at the 2019 People’s Choice Awards. In fact, it was Sandler who presented her with the award.
“This town doles out a lot of awards, but the People’s Choice, this was always something special to me,” she explained at the November 2019 ceremony. “As actors, we don’t do this for the critics or for each other or to make our families proud, we do this for the money. I’m kidding…we do it for you guys. C’mon, seriously, we really do.”
“When I had first heard that I had won this Icon Award the first thing I thought was, ‘Holy shnicks, have I been around that long?'” she recalled. “It turns out I have.”
