Einbinder won her first Emmy for her role as Ava Daniels in the HBO Max series Hacks. She has previously been nominated three times for her performance in the role.
Einbinder acknowledged that fact in her acceptance speech, noting she will have to adjust her mindset because she used to tell herself it was cooler not to win the award. She thanked the cast and crew of Hacks, including her fellow winner and co-star Jean Smart, who she likened to the sun.
The other nominees for supporting actress in a comedy series were Liza Colón-Zayas for The Bear, Kathryn Hahn for The Studio, Janelle James for Abbott Elementary, Catherine O'Hara for The Studio, Sheryl Lee Ralph for Abbott Elementary and Jessica Williams for Shrinking.
Hiller, meanwhile, won for portraying Joel in the HBO Max series Somebody Somewhere. This was his first-ever nomination and win. He was nominated alongside Ike Barinholtz for The Studio, Colman Domingo for The Four Seasons, Harrison Ford for Shrinking, Ebon Moss-Bachrach for The Bear, Michael Urie for Shrinking and Bowen Yang for Saturday Night Live.
