Emmy Winner Jean Smart Thanks “HBO. No, Max. No, H … I’m Sorry. Just What We Needed, Another Network”


Jean Smart playfully mixed up HBO and Max as she accepted her third comedy Emmy for Season 3 of 'Hacks'.

Because I just don’t get enough attention, said Jean Smart accepting her Emmy tonight, nicely in character as the self-centered comedian trying to stay relevant she plays in the HBO/Max comedy series Hacks. This was Smart’s third Emmy in as many seasons for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series as critics and voters seemed to agree she gets better each year as Deborah Vance, a legendary but aging comedian with looking for a comeback with steely vulnerability. Nominee Quinta Brunson took prize at the strike delayed ceremony in January for Abbott Elementary(Smart, who had won for both previous seasons of Hacks, was not eligible).
