It's Déjà Vu All Over Again at the Emmys: Julia Louis-Dreyfus Wins Again

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.
