Claire Danes won an Emmy for lead actress in a drama series Sunday for her role as psychologically troubled CIA officer Carrie Mathison on the Showtime series “Homeland.” She was the overwhelming favorite to win in a category that included last year’s winner, Julianna Margulies of “The Good Wife,” as well as Elisabeth Moss (“Mad Men”), Glenn Close (“Damages”), Kathy Bates (“Harry’s Law”) and Michelle Dockery (“Downton Abbey”).
Danes, 33, first came to the attention of television audiences as angsty teenager Angela Chase in the short-lived but much-beloved 1994-1995 ABC series “My So-Called Life.” The performance earned her a Golden Globe and an Emmy nomination. The show was canceled after just 19 episodes, but Danes went on to a prolific film career, starring in “Romeo + Juliet,” “The Family Stone” and “The Hours,” among others. She returned to television in the 2010 HBO film “Temple Grandin,” for which she won her first Emmy.
