Julia Louis-Dreyfus won Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor for Veep at the 2018 SAGs on Sunday, January 21, but the actress, who just completed her last round of chemo for breast cancer, did not attend the show.
Presenters Connie Britton and Mandy Moore accepted the award on her behalf.
“Julia Louis-Dreyfus couldn’t be here this evening,” Britton said. “Julia, we’re thinking of you and we love you and we are happy to accept the Actor on your behalf.”
The cast of Veep also took home the trophy for Best Television Comedy. “I’d like to thank Julia, our leader, who is so unfortunately not here,” Matt Walsh said while accepting the award with the cast of the HBO hit on Sunday.
