Courteney Cox has revealed it was hurtful being the only Friends regular to have never received an Emmy nomination while working on the show.
Jennifer Aniston, Lisa Kudrow, David Schwimmer and Matthew Perry had all been in contention for the award at some point during their Friends career, and while Courteney was happy watching them succeed, it was still difficult being the only one left out.
'It always hurt my feelings… when every single cast member was nominated but me, it definitely hurt my feelings,' Courteney, 57, admitted during an interview on Howard Stern's Sirius XM show with co-stars Jennifer and Lisa. 'I was happy for everybody, and then when it was finally like, "Oh, I'm the only one?" It hurt.'
