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.»
