Veep took home a bunch of Emmys last night, including Outstanding Comedy Series, Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series, which went to Tony Hale, and Outstanding Writing for a Comedy Series. Julia Louis-Dreyfus won for Lead Actress in a Comedy Series for the fourth year in a row, or basically every single year the show has been on the air. It was Drefus’s seventh Emmy overall. She’s an incredible comedic actress but I feel sorry for Amy Poehler especially, as Poehler has been nominated every year since 2010 in this category for Parks & Rec and she’s never won. This was her last shot.
Poehler poked fun at this by wearing a hoodie and sunglasses while this category was announced. She pretended to nap as Dreyfus gave her speech. It was hard to ignore as Dreyfus cracked a couple decent jokes, especially her opener in which she claimed to be quoting the show but then revealed that Donald Trump had actually said that line. “I think it would be appropriate at this moment to quote our American politics show. ‘What a great honor it must be for you to honor me tonight.’ No, wait, no, I’m so sorry, Donald Trump said that.” I checked and she’s right of course.
We are all Amy Poehler in this moment http://t.co/a0BkMYx48P pic.twitter.com/sPL2ICyrbU

Dreyfus wore a classic, simple one-shoulder Safiyaa black dress accessorized with some diamond statement jewelry. She looks incredible.
Amy Poehler was also all in black, she had on a black Michael Kors dress with side cutouts. She looks very fit but I think this look is kind of ruined by messy styling. Plus she looks so different to me with dark hair.
Edie Falco, like Amy, has been nominated in this category every year for the last five years. She won the last time in 2010 for Nurse Jackie and has three other Emmys for her work on The Sopranos. She was in this loose pleated Prada gown which just looks like a nightgown. Something nice: it was probably comfortable in the heat and her hair and makeup look great.
