Amy Poehler has provided one of television’s most endearing performances since “Parks and Recreation” kicked off several years ago, but it has never before been good enough for a Primetime Emmy for Lead Actress in a Comedy Series.
It was not this year either.
Julia Louis-Dreyfus, who has previously won Emmys for her work on “Seinfeld” and “The New Adventures of Old Christine,” won a second consecutive Lead Actress trophy for her work on “Veep.”
In winning, Louis-Dreyfus beat out Poehler, Lena Dunham, Laura Dern, Edie Falco and Tina Fey.
