O’Hara, who died in January at 71 after a brief illness, won for outstanding performance by a female actor in a comedy series for Apple TV’s “The Studio.” She was also nominated as part of “The Studio” cast in the outstanding performance by an ensemble in a comedy series category. Her nomination was for playing former studio chief-turned-producer Patty Leigh on “The Studio.” She was nominated alongside her “Studio” co-star Kathryn Hahn (as Maya Mason), as well as Jenna Ortega (Wednesday Addams on “Wednesday”), Jean Smart (Deborah Vance on “Hacks”) and Kristen Wiig (Maxine Simmons on “Palm Royale”).

O’Hara also received Emmy and Golden Globe nominations for her role on “The Studio.” She previously won Actor Awards (then known as the SAG Awards) in 2021 for actress in a comedy series and as part of the comedy series ensemble, both for “Schitt’s Creek.” O’Hara, of course, was a constant, beloved presence in film and television for five decades, starting with “SCTV” and later in films such as “Beetlejuice,” “Home Alone” and Christopher Guest mockumentaries like “Best in Show,” “For Your Consideration,” “Waiting for Guffman” and “A Mighty Wind.” The star also received an Actor Award nom in 2011 in the outstanding female actor in a miniseries or TV movie category, for “Temple Grandin.” Her role as Moira Rose on “Schitt’s Creek,” of course, brought her more recognition and awards in recent years. Last year, besides her Emmy nom for “The Studio,” O’Hara was also recognized at the Emmys with a guest drama actress nod for her part in “The Last of Us.” O’Hara’s death hit hard in Hollywood, where friends and fans shared tributes to the star: “Mama. I thought we had time. I wanted more. I wanted to sit in a chair next to you. I heard you but I had so much more to say,” “Home Alone” star Macaulay Culkin wrote on Instagram. “I love you. I’ll see you later.” “Really don’t know what to say… I told O’Hara when I first met her I thought she was the funniest person I’d ever had the pleasure of watching on screen. ‘Home Alone’ was the movie that made me want to make movies,” Rogen wrote on Instagram.
