Catherine O’Hara portrayed Patty Leigh in The Studio, earning a 2026 Actor Award for female actor in a comedy series.
Patty Leigh is O’Hara’s character in the Apple TV+ comedy The Studio. The series centers on the leadership and creative conflicts surrounding a fictional Hollywood film studio, with O’Hara appearing alongside Seth Rogen, Ike Barinholtz, Kathryn Hahn, and Chase Sui Wonders.
O’Hara’s win was posthumous. She died in January 2026, and Seth Rogen accepted the award on her behalf. The result was also part of The Studio’s three-award night, which included Rogen’s individual win and the comedy ensemble award.
The other listed ensemble characters were Sal Saperstein, Maya Mason, Quinn Hackett, and the group’s other performers. Patty Leigh therefore identifies O’Hara’s role rather than another cast member’s character.
