Jennifer Coolidge nodded to the writers as he accepted the Comedic Genius award from home. “Almost all great comedies start with great writers, and I just think that as a proud member of the SAG, I’m standing here in front of you tonight, side by side with my WGA sisters and brothers who are fighting right now. The fight for artists’ rights is everywhere,” Coolidge, 61, said.
