The 68th annual Emmys took
place on Sunday September 18th, and lead comedy actress Julia
Louis-Dreyfus took honors again. The award ceremony celebrates excellence in
the television world, nominating the best in TV including actors, actresses,
producers, the shows themselves and more.
So What…
Julia Louis-Dreyfus’ win
followed on the previous year, and the four years before that. With five consecutive
wins for lead actress in a comedy series – and six in that category in total –
Louis-Dreyfus made Emmy history.
In 2006 Louis-Dreyfus won
best lead actress in a comedy series for her role as Christine Campbell in “The
New Adventures of Old Christine,”.
Continuing her winning
streak that night, Louis-Dreyfus won another Emmy for producer of “Veep”.
Making it the second year in a row that “Veep” has won for best comedy series.
Will Louis-Dreyfus Beat
The Competition?
Louis-Dreyfus is not far
from breaking the record of most Emmys won by a single actor. She is only two
away from beating out Cloris Leachman – who currently holds this record with
eight Emmy wins strictly as a performer.
In total, Louis-Dreyfus
has received nine Emmys (seven for acting and two for producing) and 22
nominations. Personally, by next year, I will still be an avid “Veep” watcher,
rooting for Louis-Dreyfus yet again.
