She previously won a prime-time Emmy in 1982 for writing on “SCTV,” the influential Canadian sketch comedy show. She has received six nominations in her 45-year television career, three for writing and three for acting. The show was nominated for 15 Emmy Awards for final season, including for best comedy. O’Hara’s “Schitt’s Creek” castmates also won a trio of acting awards: Eugene Levy for best lead actor, Annie Murphy for best supporting actress and Daniel Levy for best supporting actor. After being shut out of the Emmys for its first four seasons, the show broke through last year with its first nominations — four in all, including one for best comedy — though it didn’t win any.
