Zach Braff says the Emmy Award “passed” the Nick Cordero memorial – deadline

Nick Cordero was not included in the In Memoriam segment of the Emmy Award Sunday night, and Zach Braff, the actor’s late friend and former Broadway partner, says it wasn’t because the backers were not trying to try.

“For those who wonder: Emmys chose to leave Nick Cordero out of the memorial montage,” Braff tweeted today. “I had no idea why anyone should campaign to get loved ones. We did. They passed.”

Braff also tweeted a note he said he had received from Emmy employees that said: “The participants in the selection process for In Memoriam are fully aware of the death of Mr. Cordero due to the Coronavirus and we confirm that his name has been given every consideration for his inclusion. With so many people going through in any given year, We cannot simply guarantee the inclusion of any specific individual, nor do we issue the names of people who were included prior to the TV broadcast. “

In a third tweet, Braff also drew attention to the absence in part of his Scrubs co-star Sam Lloyd. “I should also mention,” Braff wrote on Twitter, “they also excluded Sam Lloyd.” “I would never have considered a ‘campaign’ for Sam because he had more TV credits than most of the actors I know.”
