Jennifer Aniston arrives at the Women In Film 2009 Crystal And Lucy Awards at the Hyatt Regency Century Plaza Hotel on Friday (June 12) in Century City, Calif.

The superstar paired her strapless Prada mini with simple Azzedine Alaia heels.Jen accessorized with Fred Leighton diamond earrings and ring.

At the ceremony,Aniston was awarded the evening’s top award, The 2009 Crystal Award. WIF is a non-profit organization dedicated to helping women within the global entertainment, communications and media industries and to preserving the legacy of women within those industries.

- At the event Jennifer poked fun at her love life on Friday when she accepted the Crystal Award for Excellence in Film.

Host Chelsea Handler presented the award to Jen and first made this funny: “You have increased the visibility of women in film, and we thank you for that. You’ve recently decreased the visibility of John Mayer, so we thank you for that.”

Aniston then joked, “I’m trying to be more careful than I have been in the past about the titles of movies that I choose to be in. It’s funny – I kind of noticed something a couple years ago that there seemed to be this strange parallel to the movies I was doing and my life off screen.”

“It started with, well, The Good Girl,” she explained. “Then that evolved into Rumor Has It, followed by Derailed, and then there was The Break-Up. And then on the lighter side was Friends with Money, which I felt was a bit on the nose. So if any of you have a project titled Everlasting Love with an Adult, Stable Male… that would be great! I’m at table six, and my agents are at table 12.”The way she concluded, drowned out by the knowing laughter of the crowd, which included Heather Locklear,Selena Gomez,Jenny McCarthy, Christina Hendricks and Twilight director Catherine Hardwicke.

She continued the title theme in a more nostalgic light. "There's one title that I will be forever grateful for and that essentially gave me a start to anything, which was Friends," said Aniston
"For years I got to go to work every day and I laughed and I played on the set with an unbelievably funny and creative team, both behind the scenes and in front of the camera," Aniston remembered. "To go from that experience, which honestly was the highlight of my life, to then be here standing in front of you being honored for my work in film and being allowed that transition is truly quite humbling."

-Before the ceremony Aniston revealed her future goals to PEOPLE, after so much career success: "None! I'm done!" she joked, before admitting she's hoping to try her hand at directing a feature film after helming the 2006 short Room 10.
"Absolutely I want to direct again, very soon," she said. "I had so much fun doing that short film, and I'm really ready to do it again."
Aniston was also reflective about the bond among women in Hollywood. "We're special because girls are good to each other and girls take care of each other," she said. "We have a natural nurturing instinct. We want to take care and we're emotional and we're in touch with that, and we’re also extremely strong, little do most people know." (people.com&justjared.com)
