Most Emmy award nominations for a comedy actress

Julia Louis-Dreyfus's (USA) 2014 Emmy award nomination for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series means that the actress holds the record for most Emmy award nominations for acting in comedies, with 15, surpassing the previous record holder Lucille Ball (who had 13 nominations). Her four Emmy Best Comedy Actress wins (for The New Adventures of Old Christine and Veep) mean that she is now tied with Helen Hunt (Mad About You) in this category, and just one behind the all-time record holders Candice Bergen (Murphy Brown) and Mary Tyler Moore (The Dick Van Dyke Show and The Mary Tyler Moore Show).
