An Unfriendly Oversight
"So no one told you life was gonna be this way," begins the Friends theme song. One imagines Courteney Cox, the only cast member to never be nominated for an Emmy, singing those lyrics through tears in the shower as the show came to an end after 10 seasons. In an issue of Emmy magazine that (rather ironically) featured her on the cover, she discussed the snub. "My ego got really bruised. When everyone did but me, that doesn't feel good at all," said Cox. "There were certain years I thought, 'Maybe I have a shot' ... Maybe I wasn't ready." Then, as she started her new role as a hot, older woman on Cougar Town, hopes were renewed, only for her to be snubbed again. Some have been more sympathetic to her plight than others. While critics have cried injustice, sassy blogger Perez Hilton took another perspective. "No one cares," he wrote in the wake of the Emmy interview. "Just be happy you're still working."
