How did she never got a "big" award nom for playing Monica?


I think she nailed the character. Most of all on the first 4 seasons.

"Never got." Wow. More time in school, less time on the internet.

that makes no sense, English much?

Capitalization: Look into it. It goes with overall written communications skills.

I know I’m wasting my time with the likes of you. I’m just amusing myself, and indirectly defending the poster you attacked.

reply

Capitalization: Look into it.

the colon should be a semi-colon. I learned all this in College English classes. nothing personal, but you might take a refresher course.

reply

Actually, if it were a comma it would be considered a comma splice which would receive a fail on most college English essays. They are two independent clauses. I would have used a semi colon, but certainly not a comma.

reply

Use a semicolon to separate two related independent clauses (clauses that can stand as sentences on their own) that are not linked by a comma and coordinating conjunction. Commas are the most frequently used (and abused) punctuation mark in most kinds of writing.

reply

Yes, and I am saying that Capitalization and Look into it are two related independent clauses. I would separate them with a period, but because they are related, a semi colon would be my choice here.

reply

yup, everyone likes semi colons. And English classes are a must for internet noobs who correct grammar.

reply

I have an BEd with a major in English.

Also, if you read what I said, I told you what I would do and what my choice would be. I didn't correct anything. In fact, I believe you are the one who was correcting.

So your comment
And English classes are a must for internet noobs who correct grammar.
must be aimed towards yourself?

reply

yes, I was correcting someone who was correcting me. but initially I was correcting someone that corrected the original poster.

no, since I was correcting the grammar of someone that was correcting someone else's grammar, its allowed. correcting peoples spelling and grammar was hip in the 90's but not anymore, now its just petty.

reply

wOw! Jo. You are rEtaRded.

reply

thats all spelled wrong, with upper case and lower case. not to be rude, but maybe English isnt your first language. good day!

reply

The word "you" wasn't spelled wrong you piece of shit

reply

oh ok, my bad

reply

That would be “my error” or “my mistake,” unless you live in a ghetto or a trailer.

And then there’s still that pesky capitalization thing. You are neither ee cummings nor any other kind of poet. You don’t get poetic license.

reply

interusting...

reply

Probably for the same reason that you’ll never get any kind of literary award.

reply

Insult makes no sense, but I approve of the literacy bashing.

reply

You people do realize that not all posters come from an english speaking background. Yes? Or are you all just that self-centered...

reply

lol

reply

Yeah, funny I know. Shame on us for not mastering your godly language.

reply

No it's funny that you think your opinion on here will make a difference.

reply

Oh I know it won't. Just stating it for the fun of it. :)

reply

What a waste of a comment

reply

Never a waste if there's someone to reply to it. ;)

More surprising is how many nominations her castmates DID get.

Aniston had 5 Emmy nominations. Three for lead actress (winning 1) and 2 for supporting. She won a Globe for Lead and was nominated once for supporting. All her nominations came later in the shows run.

Kudrow got SIX Emmy nominations, winning 1, and 1 Golden Globe nomination. All of them came in the earlier seasons.

Schwimmer got 1 Emmy nomination.

Perry had 1 nomination.

LeBlanc is the most shocking. 3 Emmy nominations for lead actor, never winning, and two Golden Globes. Very surprising considering he was almost fired.

The Guest Stars also had great success. DeVito, Applegate, Willis, Pitt, Hank Azaria, Selleck, Sarandon, and Oldman were all nominated, with Applegate and Willis winning.

reply

Willis played 2 different roles in Friends. Once he played a actor and once a father of a girlfriend.

reply

Ironically Matthew Perry declined his nomination. Said he wasn't the lead since it was an ensemble cast and therefore he was ineligible.

She “nailed” a character who was not worth “nailing,” unless your lips move while you read printed material. She was a cobblestone in NBC’s Thursday night Must Flee TV lineup, of which only Cheers and Wings were worthwhile.

Her 2 income streams, Friends and Scream, are pretty much an embarrassment of triviality when viewed through the harsh lens of time. So, no awards.
