Not the EMMY I was looking for: Courteney Cox on 'FRIENDS: The Reunion' nomination

As Friends: The Reunion bags 4 nominations at the 73rd Emmy Awards, the show’s cast is ecstatic about the news, except for Courteney Cox who played the character of ‘Monica’. Contrastingly, the actor has received one out of the four nominations this time, but is still not happy about it. Cox recently expressed her discontent in an interview with the Entertainment Weekly and said this is not the Emmy she was looking for.

Courteney Cox unhappy with her Emmy Nomination for Friends: The Reunion

This comes as Courteney is the only actor who has not received any prior nominations at Emmy for her role in the sitcom. Except for her, all the other five prominent actors have received the nomination. Speaking about it, she expressed that she was happy that the reunion was organised and has also bagged nominations since all the crew members along with Ben Winston had put their best to build the special episode. However, when asked about her nomination, she said, she honestly wasn’t glad to be nominated for the reunion episode, and that this was not the Emmy she was looking for. Courteney was the only one out of the six lead actors of the show, who wasn’t recognised by the Emmy, during the hit show's original 10-season run from 1994-2004.
