Where to Watch emmys in the Uae

IN 1990, JULIA Louis-dreyfus first captured the hearts of American TV viewers as Elaine Benes, the sardonic ex-girlfriend of Jerry Seinfeld with wacky dance moves and a terrible dating history in Seinfeld.

In the nearly 30 years since, she has played other singletons with messy personal lives and voiced characters in a handful of animated films.

But her crowning achievement – and shot at Emmys history – is her turn as Selina Meyer, the hapless vice president-turned-president who sold out her friends and soul for power on HBO’S hit series Veep.

If Louis-dreyfus wins the award for best actress in a comedy tonight in Los Angeles, it will be her seventh straight trophy for the role – a triumph for every season, breaking her own record for the most Emmys for one role. And the 58-yearold actress will become the performer with the most individual Emmy wins at nine, eclipsing Cloris Leachman’s record.

Industry pundits have named her the favourite, despite a crowded field that includes last year’s winner Rachel Brosnahan (The Marvelous Mrs Maisel) and Phoebe Waller-bridge (Fleabag).

But as Variety’s Michael Schneider put it: “Those nominees may be amazing, but there’s only one Julia Louis-dreyfus.

“This is the year she will become the bona fide recordholder for the most Emmys won by any performer in history – and it’s a feat that will likely remain for many years to come.” The 71st Emmy Awards taking place at Microsoft Theater, Los Angeles will air on OSN Series First channel on Monday, September 23, at 3am.
