Stockard Channing wins 2002 Emmy Award for Supporting Actress in a Drama Series

Stockard Channing wins the 2002 Emmy Award for Supporting Actress in a Drama Series for her performance as Abigail Bartlet in The West Wing.

In that era the Emmy nominees for supporting actor and actress always had several from The West Wing. Some years there were four West Wing actors nominated out of 6 for supporting actor. It was just a great, great show. Janel Maloney could have easily won it too. All the writing and acting on that show was fantastic year after year.

Everyone on The West Wing deserved an EMMY. The best ensemble cast ine history of TV.Dule Hill, Emily Proctor etc. The list goes on and on.

Sometimes underrated, Stockard Chaning is one of the best actress in Hollywood. For main or support roles, she is unique on screen and my favorite in Grease with her hills dancing Sha na na's Houng Dog. Great girl!

Hey Fongu I'm Sandra D.

[@mildredsnethen3569]

I love stockard Channing she is so cool

[@whoaitsreesy]

She will always be Rizzo to me!

[@analycacerescoayla1560]

Ella siempre será Rizzo para mi también 😍

[@mlc2005]

I think that her costars were surprised because she is only in a few episodes per season. However the episode that she submitted was fantastic and deserved the Emmy, in my opinion.

[@theresabollman8061]

She's great!

[@jasonscott4366]

It was a guest role. She had no business in this category. Should have gone to lauren ambrose for six feet under

[@MrStGeorgeIllawarra]

They were shocked because she'd already won an Emmy for Best supporting in a mini series that night.

Stockard Channing had great acting on The West Wing in season 3.

[@michaelhayden725]

Interestingly it was only decided during the last weeks rehearsal to have a First Lady. So who to choose? Well, so the story goes, it was suggested “we need someone like Stockard Channing”, next scene well why not ask her? So they did and the rest is history. She and Martin Sheen met for the first time about an hour before their first scene.

[@Lawrence_619]

damn near everyone in the main cast of that show, won an Emmy or SAG or some other award....I mean, good God. And its one of 3 of my favorite shows, that includes Six Feet Under and Sons of Anarchy. Stockard was NAILS on this show

[@kevingroome8359]

LOL at Lauren Ambrose and Mary Louise Parker's reactions. They're both like damn and then they realize they have to clap.

[@HoldenNY22]

Della Reese was a real big sore Loser when she didn't win Best Supporting Actress.

[@alwaysnew189]

Happy Birhday divine and glorious Stockard Channing !!! 🌹😍❤️🎁🍀🎭

[@JustSomeCanadianGuy]

Stockard Channing and Mary Louise Parker kinda should have been nominated for Guest Actress for Season 3.

[@sovak75]

to me she will always be Rizzo!

[@juniorlsdmusic]

She was the scorned first wife and Heather was the 2nd new wife (first wives club)

[@chijavier1869]

Fabulous actress and should be on screen more. I read that she’s living in London???

[@paullemon5154]

I loved Mary Louise Parker's reaction!

[@troyevitt2437]

Gonna paint a "7". Stockard Channing and Mr. Bentley.

[@nottoomuch87]

Dang they don't look excited at all. She was magnificent in season 2 and 3 tho....her storylines were some of my favs in both seasons.

[@storie8417]

I'm kind of shocked, I would have fallen down the stairs😂

[@sandranorman5469]

She’s right -Sorkin is the sexiest man in Hollywood

[@cynthiaennis3107]

Loved she included her costars. 🌹❤️

[@juancarloslarranagamerlo7044]

👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏

[@cerealutuber]

dear God Simon Baker

[@Daniel19073]

Rizzo of grease

[@adamt7613]

The look on Mary and Janel's faces suggest to me they don't really like working with her lol.

[@nottoomuch87]

Adam T lol they just wanted to win.

[@paullemon5154]

Who is the hot guy next to Lauren Ambrose?

[@federico6485]

Stockard is good.. but Mary-Louise should have won at least once for The West Wing.

[@MrCasikeno]

oh my god LOREN AMBROSE PLEASE!!!

[@matheusvalerio8313]

why?

[@MrCasikeno]

@@matheusvalerio8313 she was superb at 6fu.

[@HoldenNY22]

How come she didn't thank her Show Husband and the Star of the Show- Martin Sheen? She doesn't like Martin Sheen?

[@rravvia]

She's great but i can't stand her style because everything she says, even her silence, is too attention grabbing and stylized.

[@MrBibi86]

too bad Stockard has had one too many plastic surgeries now :/

[@nottoomuch87]

She looks frightening now, so sad.
