Courteney Cox, known for her role as Monica Geller on "Friends," has been nominated for her first-ever primetime Emmy award. The HBO Max special "Friends: The Reunion" received a nomination for best variety special from the Television Academy on Tuesday.
"Cox was one of the executive producers alongside the original show's creators Marta Kauffman and David Crane and cast members Jennifer Aniston, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc, Matthew Perry and David Schwimmer, which resulted in the accolade," Variety reported.
NBC's Sitcom "Friends," which aired for 10 seasons from 1994 to 2004, was nominated for 62 Primetime Emmy Awards during its run. Cox was the only cast member snubbed at the time.
Last month, Cox appeared on Howard Stern's SiriusXM show, and was asked about her castmates receiving nominations.
"When every single cast member was nominated but me, it definitely hurt my feelings," Cox said. "I was happy for everybody, and then when it was finally like, 'Oh, I'm the only one?' It hurt."
The "Friends" reunion special was nominated in the variety category alongside "8:46" by Dave Chappelle, "A West Wing Special To Benefit When We All Vote," "Bo Burnham: Inside," "David Byrne's America Utopia" and "Hamilton."
