Let me tell you, folks, even when life throws you a curveball, some people just keep winning. Take Julia Louis-Dreyfus, for example. She's having a night to remember at the SAG Awards, even though she's not even there in person! Now, here's the backstory: Julia recently wrapped up her final round of chemotherapy for breast cancer on January 11. So, understandably, she wasn't feeling up to the task of attending the 2018 Screen Actors Guild Awards on January 21. But guess what? That didn’t stop her from raking in the accolades like a champ!

Julia Takes Home the Gold

Right off the bat, as the show kicked off, they announced that Julia had won the SAG Award for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Comedy Series. Connie Britton and Mandy Moore, who were presenting the award, said with heartfelt warmth, "Julia couldn't be here this evening. Julia, we are thinking of you, and we love you, and we are thrilled to accept this award on your behalf." This win wasn’t just any win—it was a historic moment. Julia became the first TV actress to win five individual trophies. That's right, folks, FIVE! Such an incredible achievement for an incredible woman.

Double the Wins

And if that wasn't enough, just moments later, Julia was celebrated again as part of the cast of Veep, which won Best Ensemble in a Comedy Series. The cast, accepting the award, expressed their gratitude and acknowledged their leader, saying, "We would like to thank Julia, our leader, who, unfortunately, is not here." You could tell how much the cast missed her presence on stage, but they were beaming with pride for their leading lady nonetheless.

Julia's Heartfelt Response

After finding out she'd won these awards, Julia took to Twitter to express her gratitude. She wrote, "I wish I could have been @SAGawards tonight but have to admit it's pretty fun to watch in my pj's." And then she added, "So honored to win. So proud to be a union member. So happy for my @VeepHBO bozos for winning the ensemble award. Miss being at the table with you all. How was the chicken?" Her words perfectly captured her humility, humor, and love for her team.

Of course, Julia’s absence was definitely felt at the show, but we did get some good news from her co-star Tony Hale. He reassured everyone that Julia is doing "fantastic" and "really doing great." He also gave us a sneak peek into the future of Veep, revealing that the final season will resume filming in the summer of 2018. That's great news for all the fans out there who can't wait to see what's next for Selina Meyer and the gang. We're thrilled to hear that Julia is on the mend and looking forward to more great things ahead!
