Over the past 27 years, she’s been nominated at 18 ceremonies, including a six-year streak from 1993 to 1998. It was in 1996, during the 48th annual ceremony, that she had her first memorable moment as she crossed her fingers and mouthed, “please, please,” before she won the award. After the surprise win, she managed to stumble her way through an acceptance speech. “I couldn’t believe it. I was so shocked,” she said in an interview with the Television Academy years later.
In wasn’t until 2012 that Louis-Dreyfus sharpened her comedy skills, making each acceptance speech more anticipated than the next thanks to a string of hilarious bits involving her competition andco-stars.
