There are no red carpets during this year’s Emmy Awards, which is the TV industry’s response to the Oscar show. Thus, talk show host Jimmy Kimmel (52) must lead the award ceremony from an empty hall in Los Angeles.
He still had visits on stage, including from Hollywood star Jennifer Aniston (51). She was involved in handing out the award for best female lead in a commission.
– We have lived together since 1994
Later in the distribution, however, she reappeared, but this time via video. Aniston was nominated for an award, and Kimmel just had to make sure she got home, according to AND Online.
– I just made it. I’m here, she said, before suddenly a very famous guest came in from the side.
– Hi Jimmy, suddenly said Courteney Cox (56), known as Monica in «Friends», before a surprised Kimmel, asked:
– Look at that. Courteney Cox. Courteney is with you?
– Of course I am, we live together, Cox replied, while Aniston followed up with:
– Eh, yes. We have lived together since 1994.
It is clear that this was a clear reference from the popular TV series, where Aniston and Cox lived together.
However, it did not end there. Suddenly, actress Lisa Kudrow (57) was also seen. She played the role of Phoebe in «Friends», and asked the following questions:
As mentioned, Jimmy Kimmel is leading this year’s Emmy award, and he started the show with a classic opening monologue.
– The world may be terrible, but TV has never been better, the talk show host started when he opened what he calls “PanEmmies”.
Furthermore, he came up with a sting against Trump.
– Of course I’m here alone. This is not an “Make America Great Again” election rally, he said.

The first prize in Hollywood’s first major awards ceremony after the pandemic hit went to Catherine O’Hara. She was awarded the prize for best female actress in a comedy for her role in “Schitt’s Creek.”
The Netflix comedy follows a family that ends up in financial crisis and is forced to move.
The next prize went to O’Hara’s colleague Eugene Levy, who received the prize for his efforts in the same series. Levy says it is “ironic that the weirdest role I’ve ever played gives me an Emmy.”
– I have to seriously ask questions about what I have done in the last 50 years, he said in his thank you speech on video link.
Shortly afterwards, the series was also awarded the prize for best screenplay and also secured the generous prize for best commission. “Schitt’s Creek” also won the award for best supporting actress and male and secured nine awards at the Emmy Awards.
