Zach Braff is calling out the Emmys
On Sunday night, the some viewers were surprised to see actor Nick Cordero left out of the awards show’s In Memoriam tribute.
The actor tragically died at 41 earlier this year after a months-long battle with COVID-19.
Monday morning, Braff took to twitter to explain that Cordero wasn’t included in the tribute because the Emmys producers chose not to.
For those wondering: The Emmys chose to leave Nick Cordero out of the memorial montage. I had no idea one had to campaign to get their loved one in. We did. They passed.
