8 TV Stars (Shockingly) Never Nominated for an Emmy

Moviefone
September 14, 2017 - 1 min read

Not only have these actors and actresses not won an Emmy over their fantastic careers -- they haven't even been given the chance. Check out these TV stars who have never been nominated for an Emmy (but totally should have been).

Katey Sagal

Despite numerous Golden Globe nods and a win in 2011, Katey Sagal never received a nomination for her standout work in both "Married... With Children" and "Sons of Anarchy." 

Lauren Graham

The lovely and talented Lauren Graham was never nominated for "Gilmore Girls" or "Parenthood." For shame!

Nick Offerman

Seriously, folks. Nick Offerman truly deserved recognition for bringing Ron Swanson to life on "Parks and Recreation." 

John C. McGinley

This veteran actor received high praise for his portrayal of Dr. Cox on "Scrubs," but he never received an Emmy nod!

Courteney Cox

Courteney Cox is the only "Friends" friend who never got nominated for her work on the popular sitcom. Monica would not be pleased. 

Lisa Edelstein

Lisa Edelstein was a "House" favorite as Cuddy for seven seasons and never got nominated. Her costar, Hugh Laurie, was nominated six times. 

Portia De Rossi

Portia De Rossi is beloved for her work on "Ally McBeal," "Arrested Development," and "Better Off Ted" (to name a few), though her many years on the small screen haven't earned her one Emmy nod. Yet.

John Noble

Despite love from critics and fans, John Noble's performance on "Fringe" never garnered a nod.
