Congratulations to Julia Louis-Dreyfus on her fifth consecutive Emmy win!

Last night, the Veep star made Emmy Award history by breaking the record for most lead actress wins. She previously held the record in a three-way tie with Candice Bergen and Mary Tyler Moore. It was her sixth win for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy. Five were for her role as Selina Meyer in the HBO comedy Veep.

In a hilarious and emotional speech, Julia dedicated her win to her father, William Louis-Dreyfus, who passed away just two days earlier at the age of 84. She shared through tears, “I’m so glad he liked Veep because his opinion was the one that really mattered.”
