Jill Soloway accepts Outstanding Directing for a Comedy Series award for Transparent onstage during the 67th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards at Microsoft Theater on Sept. 20, 2015 in Los Angeles.Kevin Winter—Getty Images  by [Eliana Dockterman](https://time.com/author/eliana-dockterman/)  ## Eliana Dockterman Correspondent Updated: Dec 14, 2023 1:50 AM UTCPublished: Sep 21, 2015 1:25 AM UTC As host Andy Samberg noted in his [opening monologue](http://time.com/4041965/emmys-2015-andy-samberg-diversity-sexism/), the gender gap is still alive and well in Hollywood. But Jill Soloway and several other ladies took over the Emmys early on. _Transparent_ creator [Soloway](http://time.com/3822910/jill-soloway-2015-time-100/) took home her first Emmy on Sunday night for [best directing in a comedy series](http://time.com/4041876/emmys-2015-winners-full-list/). She’s just one of just a handful of female showrunners—along with Tina Fey and Jenji Kohan—to be up for an award tonight, and she has been a pioneer in the industry since the beginning of her career. Her win represents a giant step for women working behind the camera in Hollywood. So do the three wins that _Olive Kitteridge_ has taken home so far. The HBO mini-series about a complicated woman navigating life in small town in Maine [proved](http://time.com/3554536/olive-kitteridge-hbo-likability/) that female protagonists don’t have to be “likable” to be successful. In his acceptance speech for best actor in a mini-series, Richard Jenkins thanked “all the women” who made _Olive Kitteridge_ possible. Perhaps the biggest sign of progress was Amy Schumer winning in the best sketch series category for her [unapologetically feminist show](http://time.com/45771/how-amy-schumer-got-guys-to-think-feminists-are-funny/), _Inside Amy Schumer_. Both Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Allison Janney broke Emmys records, too. Janney tied Ed Asner and Mary Tyler Moore for most acting wins (in any category) at the Emmys with her seventh win for best supporting actress in a comedy for _Mom_. _Veep’_s Louis-Drefyus nabbed a fifth statue for best actress in a comedy, tying Candice Bergen and Mary Tyler Moore for most wins in the best actress category. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4042000/emmys-2015-women-jill-soloway/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4042000/emmys-2015-women-jill-soloway/"},"headline":"Why It Matters That Women Are Winning Big At the Emmys","datePublished":"2015-09-21T01:25:01.000Z","dateModified":"2023-12-14T01:50:45.000Z","description":"Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Allison Janney both broke records","url":"https://time.com/4042000/emmys-2015-women-jill-soloway/","keywords":["Television","awards","emmys"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt588c40710a0a5fbb/69886477e20a87d21da8d55d/jill-stoloway-emmy.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Eliana Dockterman","jobTitle":"Correspondent","url":"https://time.com/author/eliana-dockterman/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt588c40710a0a5fbb/69886477e20a87d21da8d55d/jill-stoloway-emmy.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Jill Stoloway - Emmys 2015","caption":"Jill Stoloway - Emmys 2015","creditText":"Kevin Winter—Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4042000/emmys-2015-women-jill-soloway/","name":"Why It Matters That Women Are Winning Big At the Emmys"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"How Women are Leading the Emmys","description":"How Women are Leading the Emmys","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/Hg5qDgTs/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2015-09-16T18:13:25.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/Hg5qDgTs.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/4042000/emmys-2015-women-jill-soloway/","duration":"PT1M8S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/4042000/emmys-2015-women-jill-soloway/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
