Jean Smart won the Emmy for best actress in a comedy series for her work in the series "Hacks," marking a historic moment in the 78-year history of the awards. The victory was especially significant as it was the first time an actress received the award for all seasons of the same series.
She received five statuettes for her work as Deborah Vance in the production. Additionally, Jean Smart had already won three Emmys for other work, including one for "Samantha Who?" and two for "Frasier."
"Hacks" is aired on HBO Max and continues to be one of the most awarded comedy series of the current era. Jean Smart's achievement further solidifies her place in Emmy history as one of the most awarded actresses in the television industry.
