Courteney Cox has revealed that she felt deeply hurt being the only main cast member of Friends who was never nominated for an Emmy during the show’s decade-long run. In a recent interview, the actress candidly shared how the lack of recognition stung at the time, especially as her co-stars—Jennifer Aniston, Lisa Kudrow, Matthew Perry, Matt LeBlanc, and David Schwimmer—each received at least one nomination for their performances on the beloved sitcom. Cox, who played Monica Geller, expressed pride in her work but admitted the omission left her feeling overlooked.
Despite the snub, Cox emphasized the deep bond she still shares with her castmates and the gratitude she feels for being part of such a groundbreaking show. “It was such an incredible experience, and I wouldn’t trade it for anything,” she said. Over the years, Cox has continued to earn acclaim for her acting, including a nomination for an Emmy in 2021 as an executive producer of the Friends: The Reunion special. Still, the absence of a nod for her work on the original series remains a bittersweet memory.
