Love expressed to Louis-Dreyfus

“Veep” star Julia LouisDreyfus couldn’t make it to the ceremony to celebrate her actress in a comedy series and comedy series ensemble wins .

But she was there in spirit as her costars picked up their trophies, turning the wins into a Louis-Dreyfus lovefest.

Earlier in the day, the “Veep” gang had been texting their fearless leader, a.k.a. Selina Meyer, who finished chemotherapy for breast cancer Jan. 11.

“She’s generally been in good spirits. She has a good sense of humor to carry her along,” said Timothy Simons, who plays Jonah Ryan on the HBO comedy. “She’s incredible. Strong and uniquely able to combat something like this.”

Louis-Dreyfus tweeted Sunday, “I wish I could have been @SAGawards tonight but have to admit it’s pretty fun to watch in my pj’s. So honored to win. So proud to be a union member. So happy for my @VeepHBO bozos for winning ensemble award. Miss being at the table with you all. How was the chicken?”

Her leadership on the set of “Veep” sets a tone for the entire cast and crew, the ensemble agreed.

“She has no arrogance, no entitlement, she’s a great collaborator, creates an environment that is a family,” said Tony Hale, who portrays Gary Walsh. “And she’s a really good cook.”

Minutes later, a chant could be heard echoing from the Shrine Auditorium hallway: “JLD! JLD!”

Louis-Dreyfus now has nine SAG Awards, making her the guild’s winningest actor.
