"An Emmy is the biggest award an actor can win for their work on the small screen - and when there's a show or a performance Emmy voters love, it often gets multiple nominations and wins. We've pored over the stats and compiled a list of the most Emmy-awarded actors of all time. It includes some of the biggest TV stars of all time, including Bryan Cranston, Betty White, Mary Tyler Moore, and Julia Louis-Dreyfus."
"In fact, Louis-Dreyfus is tied with Cloris Leachman for eight Emmy wins as a performer, and has the solo record for most overall wins if you include her awards as a producer. The total Emmy wins listed here aren't exclusively for performances: Some on this list have won for writing, directing, or producing - Cranston was a producer on "Breaking Bad" and Louis-Dreyfus is an executive producer for " Veep," for example - but the majority of their Emmys are for acting."
The Emmys are the premier awards for television performances and productions. Winners often receive multiple nominations and repeated wins when Emmy voters favor a show or performance. Several actors have accumulated extensive Emmy totals, including Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Bryan Cranston, Betty White, Mary Tyler Moore, Cloris Leachman, Maya Rudolph, and Allison Janney. Louis-Dreyfus has the most overall Emmy wins when producer awards are included and is tied with Leachman for eight performer wins. Some Emmy wins on top actors' totals recognize writing, directing, or producing in addition to acting. Specific award counts include Maya Rudolph with six wins and Allison Janney with seven.
