Julianna Margulies of the CBS series "The Good Wife" has won an Emmy for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama.
Margulies stars as Alicia Florrick, a mother of two that returns to work as a Chicago defense attorney after her husband Peter’s sex and political corruption scandal. While her husband tries to recoup his image in politics, she triumphs as an attorney
Margulies was nominated for the Emmy last year but didn't win. Her co-star, Archie Panjabi, did win a supporting actress award for performance as Kalinda Sharma, an investigator at the law firm who is Florrick’s friend on the show.
Before "The Good Wife," Margulies was best known for her work in "ER." She last won an Emmy in 1995 (supporting actress) for her potrayal of nurse Carol Hathaway. She was the only regular cast member to do so in the show’s history, other Emmys going to guest actors. That was her first nomination, but she has been nominated seven times since, five times for ER, twice for "The Good Wife." Margulies also won a Screen Actors Guild award this year for her turn as Florrick.
In 2008, Margulies portrayed another lawyer named Elizabeth Canterbury in the short-lived Fox series “Canterbury’s Law.” The show was canceled after six episodes. Her other TV credits are a guest run on “The Sopranos” and a starring role in the TNT miniseries “The Mists of Avalon," for which she was nominated for a best actress Golden Globe. Her film work includes "Snakes on a Plane," and "City Island."
