Emmy recognition for Hacks and Jean Smart

Overview

The HBO Max comedy series ‘Hacks’ has achieved record-breaking success at the Emmy Awards. Its fifth and final season secured 24 nominations, the highest number for a comedy series in a single season, surpassing previous records held by ‘The Studio’ and ‘The Bear’. The show also set a record for the most nominations received by a comedy series for a final season, overtaking ‘Schitt’s Creek’.

Lead actress Jean Smart has seen a significant career resurgence through her role as Deborah Vance. Having already earned four Primetime Emmy Awards, Smart received her 15th Emmy nomination for this role. If she wins Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series, she will tie Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Cloris Leachman for the most acting Emmy wins by a performer with eight total wins, and become the first woman to win an Emmy for every eligible season of the same series.
