Other nominees included: Pamela Adlon (“Better Things”), Jane Fonda (“Grace and Frankie”), Allison Janney (“Mom”), Ellie Kemper (“Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt”), Tracee Ellis Ross (“black-ish”), and Lily Tomlin (“Grace and Frankie”)
This is Louis-Dreyfus’s seventh win in the category and her eighth Primetime Emmy overall. She previously won for “The New Adventures of Old Christine” and in the supporting actress in a comedy category for “Seinfeld.”
HBO announced earlier this month that Season 7 of “Veep,” set to air in 2018, will be the show’s last.
Louis-Dreyfus joked that they had planned a storyline about an impeachment “but we abandoned that because we were worried someone else might get to it first.”
