The comedian’s ‘Beef’ sweep culminated with an Emmy for best actress in a limited series.

The comedian continued Beef ’s awards sweep with television’s highest honor, winning the Emmy for best actress in a limited series. Her three Emmy nominations this year include another one for Beef as executive producer as well as best voiceover acting for her animated comedy Tuca & Bertie(that win went to Maya Rudolph for Big Mouth). In her cover story for The Hollywood Reporter on the eve of Beef ’s premiere a year ago, Wong reflected on taking on the first dramatic lead role of her career (she previously starred in the rom-com feature Always Be My Maybe and had a number of supporting acting credits, mostly in comedic live-action or animated projects).
