20 fascinating facts about friends..

Courteney Cox Was Never Nominated for an Emmy for Playing Monica

Friends was NBC’s Emmy workhorse. For crying out loud, Christina Applegate won an Emmy for appearing on the show in one single episode! (Granted, the award was for best guest star, but still.)

Unfortunately for good, ole Courteney Cox, she never got an Emmy for playing Monica. In fact, she was never even nominated.

All the other friends were nominated for an Emmy at least once, and Jennifer Aniston and Lisa Kudrow both won. But Courteney Cox never got the honor. It’s true that Phoebe and Rachel were exceptionally well-acted characters, but Monica was still just a shade off. Perhaps it’s harder to get an Emmy than it seems.
