Smart is nominated in the Outstanding Led Actress in Comedy Series for the second year in a row for her incredible performance in HBO’s hit series Hacks.
She walked away with the coveted award during last year’s ceremony, where she tearfully paid tribute to her late husband Richard Gilliland during her acceptance speech.
Gilliland passed away unexpectedly in March 202 at the age of 69. Smart and the Designing Women star were married for 34 years.
Smart was joined on the red carpet on Monday by her Hacks co-star Hannah Einbinder, who snagged her second nomination in the Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series category this year.
For TV’s biggest night, the 27-year-old comedian was a vision in a black strapless gown with a sexy cat ear neckline.

The 2022 Emmy Awards returned to the Microsoft Theater on September 12, after a two-year absence during the ongoing coronavirus pandemic that saw the ceremony moved to the Crypto.com Arena in 2020 and the Event Deck at L.A. Live in 2021.
Saturday Night Live star Kenan Thompson will be taking over hosting duties for the first time, and he promised that controversies such as Will Smith’s shocking slap of Chris Rock at the Academy Awards ‘won’t happen again’ under his watch.

It’s that time again: The 2022 Emmy Awards will take place on September 12 at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles. The show airs at 8 p.m. ET/ 5 p.m. PT on NBC and Peacock.
The earlier ceremony, spread out over two nights on September 3 and 4, was dominated by scripted shows including The White Lotus, Euphoria and Stranger Things, along with unscripted fare like Adele’s One Night Only special.

The premium network is also poised for gold thanks to its limited series The White Lotus, which scored 20 nominations and already won five technical awards at the earlier ceremony.
Netflix’s hit South Korean series Squid Game, which made history as the first non-English language nominee in the Best Drama Series category, is once again nominated.
Apple TV+’s feel-good comedy Ted Lasso, which stars Jason Sudeikis, is also competing for an impressive 20 awards at the Emmys.

After adopting a Golden Globes–like atmosphere at the 2021 ceremony, the Emmys will continue to seat nominees at tables close to the stage, though the larger venue will now allow more guests to sit in the rows of seats behind them.
Many of the Covid-related restrictions from last year’s event appear to have been dropped for the 2022 edition.
Viewers can catch the Emmy Awards at 8 p.m. ET/ 5 p.m. PT on both NBC and its streaming platform Peacock.
