They made a HUGE mistake cancelling Samantha Who....such a great show....Jean Smart is brilliant. Would have also loved to seen Vanessa win for Ugly Betty....such a great show and role

[@wotan10950]

She’s a fascinating actress. I loved her in “Garden State” and “Frasier.”

[@foccha]

Yes I’m mesmerised by her. Loved her in “The Brady Bunch Movie” and “24”.

Jean is so wonderful.

Jean Smart has great acting on Samantha Who? in season 1. Seinfeld: The Contest won an Emmy Award for Outstanding Writing for a Comedy Series.

so so deserved she should just get awards for everything she’s in. i don’t even need a full 3rd season but i really wish they did something to wrap the show up because that season 2 ending was so unsatisfying!!!

who’s here after she won last night 😭

[@utbabee]

And another win last night. 2022. She's perfection!!

[@dAfoodie101]

@@utbabee i know!! what a lovely back to back win 🤗

[@jalilmanson8980]

She actually looks like Kim Cattrall, so the show "Samantha Who" fits so well.

[@hellopaolo]

Alright that’s a great set of nominees!

[@chrisparker7256]

OMG, what is Charlene Frazier Stillfield doing kissing JD Shackelford? What would Mary Jo and Bill think? Nooooooooo :)

[@erikandrus4387]

Did she win for "Designing Women" too? Did any of the "Designing Women" win? That was such a great show too.

[@SingofSolace]

Unfortunately, no. The only one of the four lead women who was nominated for an Emmy for Designing Women was Delta Burke (Suzanne Sugarbaker). It makes me so sad to think that their work went largely unrecognized by the award shows.

I think the show only won one award ... for hairstyling. No kidding.

[@utbabee]

@@kbc163 Wow, that's insane!!

[@sarika811]

[@turnerunruh2666]

Vanessa should have won

[@utbabee]

Yeah, no. She's not even in the same league as Jean.
