Julia Louis-Dreyfus [1] won big at the SAG Awards on Sunday night, but wasn't there when her name was called for outstanding performance by a female actor in a comedy series [2]. Despite making history as the first TV actress to win five individual trophies [3], the Veep star opted to skip the show after recently completing her last day of chemotherapy [4] for breast cancer.
The actress first revealed her diagnosis in September [5], shortly after winning her sixth consecutive Emmy [6] for her role as Selina Meyer on the HBO series, and has remained in good spirits [7] since her diagnosis. "She's really doing great," her Veep costar Tony Hale [8] said during an interview on the red carpet. Matt Walsh also gave Julia a shout-out [9] when the cast took home outstanding performance by an ensemble in a comedy series, which was yet another win for the actress. While she was certainly missed during the show, we wish her all the best during her recovery!
