Veep has seemingly done the impossible and it has dethroned Modern Family as the winner of the Outstanding Comedy Series category at the 2015 Emmy Awards held at the Microsoft Theater on Sunday (September 20) in Los Angeles.

The HBO series, starring Julia Louis-Dreyfus, has been nominated three times in the past and finally picked up a win for its fourth season.

Modern Family has been the victor in the category for the last five years. The other nominees were Louie, Parks and Recreation, Silicon Valley, Transparent, and Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt.
