If you weren’t a Phoebe Waller-Bridge fan before, you’ve got some catching up to do.
The Fleabag actress proved that the BBC America comedy is something you should be watching if you haven’t done so already, as it championed at the 71st Primetime Emmy Awards.
The series won four of the five awards for which it was nominated, including Outstanding Writing, Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series for Waller-Bridge, and Outstanding Comedy Series.
On the drama side of things, HBO’s limited series Chernoby was the main winner, followed by Ozark.
Surprisingly, in spite of receiving 14 nominations (the most of any other series this year), Game of Thrones went home empty-handed aside from Outstanding Drama Series and Supporting Actor for Peter Dinklage.
One of the most joyous moments of the evening, though, was undoubtedly the little dance Billy Porter did Upon winning Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series and Jodie Comer revealing that she didn’t invite her parents from Liverpool because she didn’t think she’d win Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series.
