Which awards did Hacks win at the Emmys 2024?
As well as Best Original Comedy, Jean Smart won Best Actress in a Comedy Series, while co-writers Lucia Aniello, Paul W. Downs, and Jen Statsky won Best Writing for a Comedy Series.
During his acceptance speech, Downs said: “When we pitched this show about two women, one of who was over 60, we didn’t know if we would sell it and we have to thank everyone that helped make this show,” Downs explained. “About 20 percent of our population is over 60 and only three percent of those characters on television are 60, and I would like to see more of them because while I’m a great young supporting character, I would love to be a great old lead.”

Aniello added: “Comedy is so important to us but we think it can bridge divide when you laugh at someone, so please support comedy and support your local comedians.”
