Emmy History Beckons: Jean Smart & Zendaya Aim for Perfect Seasons
12 Apr
Summary
- Smart and Zendaya could win Emmys for every season of their shows.
- Only Bill Cosby has won an Emmy for every season of a series.
- This achievement would mark a historic first for female performers.
Jean Smart and Zendaya are vying for an unprecedented Emmy achievement: winning an award for every season of their series. Smart, a five-time nominee for 'Hacks,' has already secured wins for each eligible season of the comedy. Zendaya, who has never lost in the lead drama actress category for 'Euphoria,' is also poised for a historic run.
Historically, only Bill Cosby has achieved this with 'I Spy.' Blythe Danner and Julia Louis-Dreyfus came close with multiple wins but fell short of a perfect record. Smart's consistent wins for 'Hacks' and Zendaya's undefeated streak on 'Euphoria' place them in a unique position.
If nominated, they would join an elite group of actors recognized across all seasons of their shows. This year's Emmy race, especially with 'Hacks' and 'Euphoria' in contention, highlights compelling narratives that resonate with voters.
The potential for both women to achieve this historic sweep could rewrite Emmy history, celebrating a remarkable milestone for female performers.
