Jean Smart goes 5 for 5 at the Emmys

In her speech, Smart thanked a number of people, including her children, but dedicated her award to the Hacks creators Lucia Aniello, Jen Statsky, and Paul W. Down. Smart finishes her Hacks run as the first performer to achieve a perfect run in this category. Julia Louis-Dreyfus did ultimately win more awards for her performance in Veep, but didn’t manage to win for all seven seasons of the show. Candice Bergen also won five Emmys for Murphy Brown, though they were non-consecutive and that show ran for 11 seasons. Of course, who’s to say whether any of these things are more impressive than another, but it’s a fun little Emmys fact.
