Yahoo Lifestyle Jean Smart Wins Her 2nd Golden Globe For Female Actor In A TV Comedy Or Musical For ‘Hacks’: “I Never Thought I’d Be So Happy To Be Called A Hack”
Jean Smart has won the Golden Globe award for Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Television Series, Musical or Comedy for her role as Deborah Vance in Hacks. This is Smart’s third nomination in the category and her second win, previously taking the statuette in 2022.
“I never thought I’d be so happy to be called a hack,” said Smart in accepting her award. “I have the most brilliant showrunners, I have a cast and crew that were sent from heaven, especially my co-star Hannah Einbinder. You know without Eva there would not be a Deborah, and also the rest of our brilliant cast and crew and everybody at Max and Universal for unbelievable support over the years. We’re in the middle of Season 4 and we’re still having a ball, so thank you all so much for supporting the show and loving the show.”
