Jean Smart Wins Her Second Golden Globe for ‘Hacks’: ‘Never Thought I’d Be So Happy to Be Called a Hack’

Jean Smart has done it again, winning best actress in a TV comedy/musical at the Golden Globes Sunday night. This marks the second time she has won in the category, this time for Season 3 of “Hacks.” She portrays comedian Deborah Vance in the series.

“I never thought I’d be so happy to be called a hack,” Smart said while accepting her trophy at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills. She went on to thank HBO Max, the show’s producers and the cast, including costar Hannah Einbinder. “Without Ava, there would be no Deborah.”

She then noted that the show is “in the middle of Season 4 and we’re still having a ball.”

Smart previously took home the best actress Emmy for her portrayal of Deborah Vance in Season 1. At the time, she quipped, “It’s very humbling, it really is. And I appreciate this because I just don’t get enough attention. I’m serious.”

The series is also up for the best TV comedy Golden Globe and Smart’s co-star Hannah Einbinder is nominated for supporting actress.

The category also included nominees Kristen Bell from “Nobody Wants This,” Quinta Brunson from “Abbott Elementary,” Ayo Edebiri from “The Bear,” Selena Gomez from “Only Murders in the Building” and Kathryn Hahn from “Agatha All Along.”
