Julia Louis-Dreyfus won an Emmy last night yet again for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series for her role as Selina Meyer on HBO’s Veep. She is now the first actor or actress in history to win an Emmy for the same role 6 years in a row. In total, Louis-Dreyfus now has 8 Emmy Awards for acting, tying Cloris Leachman’s record. Louis-Dreyfus won once for Seinfeld, and another time for The New Adventures of Old Christine. Quite impressive.
And it’s not like she had no real competition for the award; her fellow nominees for this year included Pamela Adlon (Better Things), Jane Fonda (Grace and Frankie), Allison Janney (Mom), Ellie Kemper (Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt), Tracee Ellis Ross (Black-ish) and Lily Tomlin (Grace and Frankie).
