Julia Louis-Dreyfus wins Best Actress in a Comedy for Veep
Julia Louis-Dreyfus has won her third consecutive Lead Actress Emmy for her starring role on HBO's Veep.
After locking lips with former Seinfeld co-star Bryan Cranston (in an extension of an earlier bit), Louis-Dreyfus took the stage to accept the award, calling HBO "my favorite place I've ever worked."
"I have to say the show is very dense. It's a huge labor of love, and every labor of love takes a lot of labor. A lot of labor," she said, thanking everyone who works on the show.
