Courteney Cox has been finally recognized for her talent! The iconic actress is now an Emmy nominee, after appearing in the HBO Max special  Friends: The Reunion .

And although the Hollywood star is the only one from the cast to be nominated for the legendary show, she is also known for being repeatedly snubbed at the Emmys, following the 62 nominations the show landed since the premiere in 1994.

Courteney previously opened up about what this meant for her, confessing to Howard Stern on his SiriusXM radio present that “when each single solid member was nominated” except for her, “it undoubtedly damaged my emotions,” adding that she “used to be completely happy for everyone,” regardless.
