Brock Posted July 20, 2012 Report Share Posted July 20, 2012 Interesting piece on Julia Louis-Dreyfus nipping at Lucy's Emmy heels: From TELEVISION WEEK: Julia Louis-Dreyfus Makes Emmys History CBS News With her nomination yesterday as outstanding lead actress in a comedy series for "Veep," actress Julia Louis-Dreyfus made Emmys history by tying Lucille Ball's record of 13 nominations -- the most nominations ever for a comedic actress, reports CBS News. When she was told of the accomplishment, Louis-Dreyfus said she was thrilled by her connection to the star of "I Love Lucy." She told TVLine.com, "I just learned that this morning; I had no idea beforehand and I'm stunned by it. I'm really actually made speechless by it and don't even know what to say." Louis-Dreyfus has won two Emmys -- one for "Seinfeld" and another for "The New Adventures of Old Christine." Her nomination yesterday for her new HBO comedy "Veep" was her first for that program. HBO has renewed "Veep" for a second season. Ball won four Emmys in competitive categories during her career -- including two for “The Lucy Show” and one for “I Love Lucy” -- and received the Governor’s Award from the TV Academy in 1989. http://www.tvweek.com/blogs/tvbizwire/2012/07/julia-louis-dreyfus-makes-emmy.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarryCarter Posted July 20, 2012 Report Share Posted July 20, 2012 That is a great quote from Julia. To get technical, all of Julia's Seinfeld noms are in the supporting category. Lucy, however, does have multiple nominations in a single year. I guess it all balances out. If Julia wins, I believe she will be the first to win as regular on three different series. I can think of a ton of people who have won for two series. Can anyone think of a performer who won as a regular for three different series?

Luvsbway Posted July 20, 2012 Report Share Posted July 20, 2012 I saw something about this on E! News yesterday. Can someone detail out the years and noms, or should I just go look in Jimmy's book ( I forgot if they were in there). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarryCarter Posted July 20, 2012 Report Share Posted July 20, 2012 The second I hit "post" I thought of a winner for three different series: Tyne Daly. Best Actress for Cagney and Lacy and Supporting for Christy and for Judging Amy. All of Tyne's are for drama. Anyone else have this honor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HarryCarter Posted July 20, 2012 Report Share Posted July 20, 2012 If you want to get technical: Betty White: - Life with Elizabeth - The Mary Tyler Moore Show - Golden Girls Of course! I'm so ashamed I didn't think of that. Although, if we are only counting national Emmys, Betty doesn't count. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LUCY WINS! Lovely though she may be, Nanette Fabray over our own Lucille Ball?? Twice!!?? Mind-boggling. And with the recent passing of our own Bill Asher, this list reminds me yet again that Elizabeth Montgomery was often robbed and deserved to win at least ONE (if not more) of her multi-noms as Best Actress in Bewitched. Criminal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Criminal! Nanette's second win was very controversial. She had left Caesar's Hour almost a full year prior to that year's award ceremony. However, Nanette was still briefly on the show during the eligibility period, so her nomination and win were valid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
