Envelope EditorialUpdated 1 min read

Catherine O'Hara won two Primetime Emmys: for writing on SCTV Network in 1982 and for playing Moira Rose on Schitt's Creek in 2020.

Those awards recognize different parts of her work. The writing credit belongs to the ensemble behind SCTV. The later award recognizes her lead comedy performance as Moira.

The Television Academy's record lists ten nominations. In 2025 she was nominated for supporting actress in a comedy for The Studio and guest actress in a drama for The Last of Us. Her earlier acting nominations include Temple Grandin and Schitt's Creek.

A correction to this page

The previous article's four-nomination, one-win count came from a limited selection of categories. It left out writing and guest credits, then treated the remaining entries as a meaningful summary of her Emmy career. That was misleading.

We have removed the unrelated Seth Rogen section and the prediction advice built around that count. For category-level comparisons, the Emmy category pages shows the records our database actually contains. For O'Hara's complete Emmy list, use the Academy source above.

How this post is made: written with AI assistance. Historical calculations use our selected award records; facts outside that coverage use cited sources. Read our editorial standards for the checks, limitations and correction policy.

  • Historical calculations can be checked against the verified winner dataset ; coverage varies by category and year.
  • Automated checks verify supported calculations and monitor recorded claims for drift. They do not establish complete career coverage or prediction accuracy.
  • The full methodology lives in our editorial standards.
