Who else could it be? Over seven seasons, Louis-Dreyfus delivered the signature comedy performance of the century so far, and did so with such focused intensity that it was easy to forget that “Veep” was a comedy at all. The evolution of the plot allowed Louis-Dreyfus to rove: As the sitting VP to an unseen president who hardly cared for her input, Selina Meyer existed in a state of impotent frustration, a perpetual sense of living on tenterhooks just in case she might, maybe be needed. Granted some small wins and then a big one — the presidency, briefly — Meyer got to live out a fantasy of power that proved only a fantasy. Back at the bottom, she had to grieve her loss, and then plot a way back, both emboldened and embittered by the memory of how good it had felt to win. Through it all, Louis-Dreyfus’ deftness with a profane insult, her ability to convey the physicality of a tense person attempting to seem relaxed, and her sheer willingness to go anywhere to convey Selina’s abject need for power made a sometimes uneven show into an all-timer. The fact that we never learned Selina’s political beliefs is somehow perfect: She was the creature that our political system created, mutable to the point of meaninglessness, willing — and able! — to say just about anything that prolonged her moment in the spotlight.
