Emmy Awards 2019: Fleabag and Game of Thrones among major winners

Fleabag creator Phoebe Waller-Bridge and Killing Eve star Jodie Comer were among the big British winners at this year’s Emmy Awards.

The ceremony, which recognises excellence in television, took place in Los Angeles on Sunday.

Comer won best leading drama actress for playing Villanelle in Killing Eve.

Fleabag star and writer Phoebe Waller-Bridge took home the prize for best leading comedy actress, best comedy series and best comedy writing.

“It’s so wonderful and reassuring to know that a dirty, pervy, angry and messed-up woman can make it to the Emmys,” she laughed, referring to the show’s lead character.
