Lisa Kudrow vs Jean Smart: The Emmy Race Is Already Decided

The Emmy nominations don't drop until July 8th but the race for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series is already a two-woman fight: Lisa Kudrow for The Comeback and Jean Smart for Hacks. Comedian Anna Roisman joins Newsweek's H. Alan Scott to break down why nobody is debating whether these two get nominated, only who takes it home. Both women carry oddly similar narratives. Two beloved shows that just ended popular runs, two icons with legacies already cemented, two performances we are genuinely better off having in the world. So it comes down to love. Smart has four straight Emmys for Hacks. Kudrow has never won for Valerie Cherish, one of the most daring comedy performances ever put on television. My gut says Kudrow. Anna might have other ideas. Watch us argue it out, and let us know in the comments who you think wins on the big night.
