Julia Louis-Dreyfus wins fourth Emmy in a row for Veep

Taking a dig at politician Donald Trump, Louis-Dreyfrus thanked the cast and creators of the HBO series while accepting her award.

Veep follows the trials and travails of Selina Meyer (Louis-Dreyfus), an ineffectual Vice President of the United States.

“I think it would be appropriate at this moment to quote our political satire “Veep”: ‘What an honor it must be for you to honor me tonight, ‘ ” she said. “It’s getting trickier and trickier to satirize this stuff”.

Amy was first nominated for the coveted award in 2010 for her portrayal of Leslie Knope on Parks and Recreation. She threw on sunglasses and a hoodie as her category was announced and pretended to be asleep.

“Veep” co-stars and Emmy champs Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Tony Hale posed for photos – including selfies – underneath a mammoth rotating fire sculpture erected outside the Pacific Design Center.

O’Dell then asked her what all Emmys viewers are probably wondering – what does it feel like to win an Emmy? Louis-Dreyfus beat out Amy Schumer, Amy Pouhler, Lisa Kudrow and others to win best actress in a comedy series. “I love amusing women”.

Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Allison Janney, who have won a total of 13 Emmys combined, broke protocol by coming backstage together after their latest wins. I love powerful, amusing women.
