VIDEO : Judith Light Remembers Her Longtime Manager, Dedicates Emmy Nomination

While receiving her third Emmy nomination on Thursday, Judith Light expressed a pang of grief as it will be the first award season in over three decades without her manager of 36 years, Herb Hamsher. This is Light's second nomination for her role as Shelly Pfefferman, the ex-wife of Jeffrey Tambor's character in Amazon's "Transparent." She was nominated last year while Hamsher was sick. According to Light, Hamsher managed to pull himself through the awards ceremony, however he died a few weeks later. Light says Hamsher was alongside for most of her career, including when she received her first Emmy nomination in 2007 for "Ugly Betty."
