Jennifer Aniston won, not one, but two 'Artists Inspiration' awards at the 2019 SAG-AFTRA Foundation's Patron of the Artists Awards, on November 7 and she had her 'Friends' co-stars, Courteney Cox and Lisa Kudrow cheering her on. 

Cox spoke backstage at the awards night to Entertainment Tonight (ET) about Aniston. "She inspires me every day. She is incredible. [I'm] just so happy to be here to support her." She joined Aniston and Kudrow on the red carpet, which showed that the former co-stars are pretty tight even after all these years.

"It's incredible," Aniston said when asked about Cox and Kudrow showing up to see her receive the award. "It's like having your family stand right behind you because these things are a little nerve-wrecking." Earlier on the day, Cox had sent 'Friends' fans into a frenzy after posting an Instagram snap of her and Mathew Perry on a lunch date that Aniston joked about, saying, "how come we don't get invited to that?" 

Ever since Aniston posted her 'Friends' candid Instagram picture and broke the internet, questions about the show having a reunion have surfaced again. Aniston herself, on a recent appearance on the Ellen DeGeneres, said the cast might reunite for a project, even though it wouldn't be a 'Friends' revival.
