If you’re going statistically it’s pretty hard to bet against “Veep’s” Julia Louis-Dreyfus. She’s won every year she’s been nominated for this particular role which means she’s won six straight times. “Veep,” a seminal show of the past decade, just ended it’s seven-year run. Of course, nothing is pre-ordained and last year’s winner, “Mrs. Maisel” herself, Rachel Brosnahan and “Fleabag’s” buzzy Phoebe Waller-Bridge have many their own pockets of support in the Television Academy. Again, hard to predict anyone but eleven-time winner Louis-Dreyfus, who has taken out some major competition over the years, but anything is possible, right? Right? [Updated August 13]
