On Good Things Utah this morning – Actress Jennifer Aniston revealed on “Jimmy Kimmel Live” that she will not be attending the 2021 Emmys this Sunday, citing her personal safety as the pandemic continues. As part of HBO Max’s “Friends” reunion, she’s nominated in the variety special (prerecorded) category alongside Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc, Matthew Perry, David Schwimmer and other producers. “No, I will not be going,” she told Jimmy Kimmel on Monday night, adding that producer and director Ben Winston will attend and accept on her behalf, if the “Friends” reunion wins. “This is a big step for me to just be here. Just baby steps.” She told Kimmel that she’s been staying home a lot, while also safely filming season two of “The Morning Show,” doing press and visiting her friends Courteney Cox and Jason Bateman.
