8She first gained widespread attention for her role in the 1996 film ''Film/JerryMaguire'', where the above quote comes from, and subsequently received two nominations for the UsefulNotes/AcademyAward for Best Actress for her roles as Literature/BridgetJones in the 2001 comedy ''Bridget Jones's Diary'' and as Roxie Hart in the 2002 musical ''Film/{{Chicago}}'', and won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for her performance in the drama ''Film/ColdMountain'' in 2004. Her other popular films include ''Film/MeMyselfAndIrene'', ''WesternAnimation/SharkTale'', ''Film/CinderellaMan'', and ''WesternAnimation/BeeMovie''.

10Her first high-profile romance was with actor/comedian Creator/JimCarrey. The relationship ended in December 2000. In 2005, she was briefly married to CountryMusic singer Music/KennyChesney (who coincidentally recorded the ''Film/JerryMaguire''-inspired "You Had Me from Hello" in 1999).

12She took a break from acting from 2010 to 2016, upon which she returned to star in a number of films including a third ''Bridget Jones'' movie (which was released as ''Bridget Jones's Baby''). In 2019 she portrayed Creator/JudyGarland in the biopic ''Film/{{Judy|2019}}'', which was released to critical acclaim. This ultimately won her an Academy Award for Best Actress, [[CareerResurrection some 18 years after her first nomination]].
