Lead Actress In A Comedy Series: 76th Emmy Awards

[@CurtisJamesHill]

Hacks will go down as one of the best comedies in history, primarily because of the raw, complex and emotional performance of Jean Smart. Deserved.

What about Gilligan's Island?

[@alvinsantos6450]

From the presenter to the winner, this is perfection. Candice looks amazing

[@Erasureeraser]

Jean Smart in TV is what Meryl Streep is to movies aswell as Audra McDonald in theater. Beloved by so many people, win an award for her well deserving work. It's her sixth win and she's still unbeatable, Hacks is so lucky to have Jean 🙌

[@davy209]

Jean Smart has become the new Julia Louis-Dreyfus at the “Best Actress in a Comedy Series” category! Like JLD in “Veep”, Jean Smart’s third Emmy win for “Hacks” will most likely not be her last, and she’ll keep on winning several more times in the future!

[@joeburinskas8672]

You're right. Both are over-rated

[@RossiSenn]

lovely way of putting it!

[@RyanM268]

@@Erasureeraser Winning an Oscars is definitely harder than an Emmy in my opinion. The Oscars only has 4 acting categories both genders while the Emmys has 12 acting categories. You could win an Emmy for playing the same character every season. Movie actors play a different character almost all the time. There is so much competition within the film industry during award season. You have to be in the right film as well.

[@rics1883]

I agree about Jean Smart but for movies Cate Blanchett is toe to toe with Meryl Strap if not better.

[@daniellewebb3100]

Hacks is without question the apex of comedic perfection! It’s brilliant combination of droll & sparkling humor is without match. The relevance in relation to pressing issues & its poignantly emotional core truly sets it apart from everything else. I’m so happy for Jean Smart. So well-deserved! Cannot wait for Season 4!

[@mariaeduardasalgado]

Jean Smart is a brilliant actress as wbk, but her work on Hacks is truly one of a kind. Deborah Vance is one of the most incredible, complex and hilarious characters comedies have ever had. A LEGEND!!!!

[@emydonavan6254]

Jean Smart is an absolute queen. What an inspiration. So beautiful to see her accept her flowers and also celebrate her circle. Classy as hell.

[@mac_c]

Candice Bergen talking about her run on Murphy Brown especially when her character got pregnant just gets to me. When that episode aired on September 16th, 1991, that was the night I was born. My mom was watching that episode and as soon as she saw that moment on TV, her water broke and a couple hours later I was born. I’ll never let that down.

[@joansutton]

Nobody ever deserved this award more than Jean Smart. What a joy she is.

[@jackehboi23]

I love her so much she’s so funny and smart. She has such a wicked sense of humour and point of view. She’s just incredible

[@beataylorsdeeppinkecstasy9013]

"My work is done. Meow!" Love it!!!

[@IgoZoom1]

I fell in love with Jean Smart when I was a 10 year old kid watching Designing Women on Monday nights with my mom! I knew she was something special then and she has never disappointed me!

[@keawarren]

Quinta and Kristin look so happy when Jean’s name is announced. Love all three of these talented women.

[@holdon4992]

To be honest, I think this is the highlight of her career. Sure she was great in all those other roles but here she is a true star, shining so bright it’s amazing. Well cast, well written and definitely deserves to be recognized. Brava Jean Smart.

[@jeffreywillstewart]

We've been rewatching Designing Women and Jean is the silliest ray of sunshine. Very versatile actress.

[@OnTheRocks71]

She is so grateful and I love her wit. Absolutely well earned award, Hacks is brilliant from top to bottom and she knocks it out of the park.

[@tayplaysgaymes]

Jean Smart is an icon! So well-deserved.

[@CeliniacForLife]

Hacks has been my all-time favorite show since it premiered three years ago! It's continued awards success and reception proves it's a fave amongst critics and Emmy voters. The cast and crew deserved every single one of their wins (I'm so sad for Hannah Einbinder though).

[@MrStGeorgeIllawarra]

Love Jean Smart. She's very underrated on 24 as the first lady.

[@Erasureeraser]

In movies we have Meryl Streep. In stage theater we have Audra McDonald. in TV, we have Jean Smart 🙌🙌

[@hazelharris1090]

You hit that on the head!

[@vaishalisingh007]

She just knocked it out of the park with this Role !! Totally in awe of her 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@CraftyWizard23]

Candice and Jean are two queens and legends!!!! ❤❤❤them both!!

[@sjr100]

I think people saw Jean in a different light with her role on Frasier. She was hysterical.

[@tomwebber9377]

Pure class. I'm sure Richard is smiling as he watches her move through life with grace and humor.

[@patrickstevenson9775]

CLASS, BEAUTY, ELEGANT, EXTREMELY TALENTED INTELLIGENT AND EXTREMELY FUNNY. SHE IS SUCH A REMARKABLE LADY!

[@ORwu]

Jean Smart joins Hank Azaria, Art Carney, Tyne Daly, John Lithgow, Maya Rudolph, Ed Asner, Allison Janney, Mary Tyler Moore, Cloris Leichman, & Julia Louis-Dreyfus as the 11th individual to win 6 or more Acting Primetime Emmy Awards. Congrats.

[@tonyhoward7004]

Are you sure about Hank Azaria and Maya Rudolph?

[@ORwu]

YES, I am sure. Hank Azaria won his 6 Acting Primetime Emmys for The Simpsons (4 wins), Tuesday's with Morrie, & Ray Donovan. Maya Rudolph won her 6 for Saturday Night Live (2 wins) & Big Mouth (4 wins).

[@stephen-wahl]

I always thought Jean Smart was a great actress especially a comedic one. I thought she was the perfect Southern Bell in designing women and then I realized she's actually from Seattle. When I saw her in a season of 24 where she played the erratic alcoholic pill popping wife to the president playing first lady, I was in shock and awe at how amazing! her performance was in a dramatic role. She's only gotten better with age and has Deborah Vance she's an absolute revelation with a rich and textured performance that deserves every accolade she receives. And shout out to the amazing writers of the show, especially this season. Absolutely next level. I hope it runs for at least 10 seasons.

“Don’t get enough attention”. 😂 God I love this woman!

I didn’t know who Jean Smart was until she won, I already knew the other nominees in this category as well. Quinta Brunson, Ayo Edebiri, Selena Gomez, Maya Rudolph, and Kristen Wiig, one of those ladies could have won this award too, but congrats to Jean Smart.

[@stephen-wahl]

I've always loved Candice Bergen's walk... as someone once stated, she leads with her shoulders. 😮 Talk about a career, she was practically a child actor if I recall. What a great introduction and it makes you wonder If anyone in that room aside from Dennis Quaid would ever vote for Trump.

[@EshockT]

Jean Smart running around kicking ass as a superhero in the Watchmen really elevated her in my eyes. Hacks took its time developing its characters but has spread its wings as the poignant commentary on today’s culture. Just love her and the show.

[@marksaguindel1903]

I loved Jean Smart in Fargo season 2 as well

[@MRBCA500]

She is amazing in HBO I mean Max Watchmen series. She really has done well for herself. So talented and versatile. Amazing actor.

I remember her from 24 playing Martha Logan.

[@betsykeller9096]

You all need to re-watch this and take a look at Selena Gomez when she stands up and claps for Jean Smart. She turns to somebody next to her and says, "She's so pretty". About Jean Smart. You can't hear it, but you can read her lips. Selena didn't even know the camera caught that. That's class.

[@bagelbenji]

she's so talented and I love the show so much it just feels off that she didn't recognize Hannah einbinder especially after the season they just did.

[@mirelaamaral6748]

Yes! So weird. Every year she talk about Hannah. 😮

[@hannaj4032]

You gotta love a woman in her 70’s has one of the best shows on TV and just won her 3rd consecutive Emmy for the role. Keeping her politics to herself was icing on the cake.

[@MotleySioux-bw6qn]

Years ago Jean played the same role as Charlize Theron the first female serial killer in a TV movie. She scared the hell out of me. It was when she was on designing women. If you can find it it online watch it she is so good in it.

Is quite coincidental that Candice Bergen presented award at the Emmys just the week after KZbin suggested a SNL skit with her.

Bicycle through France 🇫🇷 lol. Got me good.

[@GoneBoy94]

She could win for every season Hacks will have and nobody complains

[@bigsistahtips]

Maybe unpopular opinion but the show is called HackS, not Hack. So I think Hannah Einbinder should be taken for what she es, the co-star. Not supporting role, but co-leading. Still, super happy for Jean. She totally deserved it.
