She previously shared the same award in 2015 and 2017.

Affleck entered rehab on Aug. 22. A source told PEOPLE the producer and the Justice League actor parted ways in part due to his struggles with addiction.

“Lindsay will always care about Ben’s health and want the best for him, but right now she’s focusing on herself, her work and her daughter,” a source previously told PEOPLE. “Lindsay has an awesome support system between her friends and family, and she’s been so grateful for all of the love in her life. She SNL cast has been extremely supportive throughout all of this, as Lindsay has been back hard at work, focused on producing the Emmys and SNL.”

Since Affleck entered treatment last month, he has been making regular trips homes to work out with a basketball trainer and was spotted getting a haircut over the weekend.
