Jennifer Aniston taped an appearance with Good Morning America on Tuesday afternoon, and though she scooted in and out of the studio rather quickly, she still flashed our photographers a quick smile before hopping in her car. Not to mention another peek at that gorgeous engagement ring from fiance Justin Theroux!

Jen may have been totally snubbed when the Oscar nominations were announced last week, but she's not letting that get her down -- or slow her down from making appearances to promote Cake. During her chat with Robin Roberts, she revealed that the experience was worth so much more than getting nominated for a bunch of awards.

"I fell in love with [my character] when I read the script," she said. "It was one of those -- it's kind of that dream role for any arc because there's just so much to explore, and [a] beautiful human experience to sort of journey with ... to come out at the end with hope." Jen added, "It's incredible because the amount of people saying no one has ever told a story about chronic pain and, you know, whether your pain came from a tragedy -- I've had people with shrapnel they're living with and in agony every day they wake up."

That's some powerful stuff! Click the video below to watch the rest of her interview!
