Amy Sherman-Palladino made Emmy history Monday with her wins for comedy writing and directing, making her the first woman in the awards’ 70-year history to do so.
Sherman-Palladino was nominated and ultimately won for the pilot episode of “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel,” her Amazon period comedy about a New York City housewife-turned-stand-up-comedienne.
Sherman-Palladino was up against stiff competition in both categories, including last year’s winner in the directing category, “Atlanta’s” Donald Glover. Other directing nominees she beat included “Atlanta’s” Hiro Murai, “Barry’s” Bill Hader, “The Big Bang Theory’s” Mark Cendrowski, “Glow’s” Jesse Peretz and “Silicon Valley’s” Mike Judge.
In the writing category, Sherman-Palladino topped Glover again, as well as Stefani Robinson (“Atlanta”), Alec Berg (“Silicon Valley”), Alec Berg and Bill Hader (“Barry”) and Liz Sarnoff (“Barry”).
