71st Emmy Awards: Phoebe Waller-Bridge Wins For Outstanding Lead Actress In A Comedy Series

Phoebe Waller-Bridge wins the Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series for Fleabag.

[@brunareivax3258]

"I find acting really hard and painful" Yes.

[@giulioscanferlato9693]

She said the same thing about writing in her win speech that happened like a few minutes before this one, that's why everyone laughed

[@ccmp18]

She is a genius!!!! She has written both Fleabag which with only two seasons is one the best scripted, well acted, and amazing comedies I've ever watched, and Killing Eve, amazing thriller... I mean British are amazing!!! British people have an incredible sense of humor...

[@krissy7556]

The Brits have the best sense of humour. They’re very dry and witty. I know, I’ve lived in the UK for 14 years and I’m now a British citizen. I literally am surrounded by this kind of comedy in my everyday life!

[@ccmp18]

@@krissy7556 that sounds amazing

[@chej9]

Brits with humor? Sir, it is my pleasure to present you with the following rabbit holes: Monty python 8 out of 10 Cats The big fat quiz of the year Would I lie to you The inbetweeners

[@ccmp18]

@@chej9 I know, I wasn't thinking straight in that moment, but British humor is fantastic... But the way, I tried to read your comment with a British accent which is hard to achieve... But I simply love British people... Live them all...and you're very right about all the examples you gave me, specially Monty Python, I think they are a major reference in comedy around the world...

[@NutanLele]

@@chej9 Don't forget the original Who's line is it anyway? Coupling, The IT crowd, Russian Doll, Inside No. 9

[@romilrh]

1:18 The reason everyone laughed so hard at this was because she had just won another Emmy 20 minutes ago for best writing and said the exact same thing about writing in her speech

[@HonestLucifer]

Exactly the comment I was looking for. I noticed it too. She is absolutely genius.

[@snkethan]

she indeed came in like a wrecking ball.

[@jadyrodrigues1199]

She was TOTALLY going to say “f*ck” 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 I love her so much!

[@varshanbp]

Jodie is happy when Phoebe gets awards. Phoebe gets happy when Jodie gets awards. Nice. And Fiona is happy for both of them.

[@GabiFOliv]

Phoebe was the writer for Killing Eve 1st season. All the same family.

[@uwuface8234]

And Sandra Oh in pink standing for Phoebe at 00:59 too

[@caseykretzer1719]

I love that Jodie and Phoebe both won this year. It all came full circle

[@GabiFOliv]

True!!

[@ishy236]

Her writing is like no other, super talented actress and writer 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@ferosha99]

She’s amazing. That last season was perfection.

Missed opportunity to face the camera and speak

[@vitorcielo1357]

[@scouser2010ify]

She deserves all her success she’s incredibly funny and what an amazing writer and actress she is

[@okinrob1743]

I just watched the series in two digestible days. Its amazing!!! The lead actress , well everyone has done such a good job! Its heartbreaking to see the finale as its final but hey its a stellar series.

[@trevorbelmont9820]

That person was/is never afraid of standing in front of people in a speech/ acting / directing and she's never afraid of what might people think about her, no f***** nervousness at all!!! That's what make Phoebe waller-bridge exceptional from everyone in the industry. God, she's so Beautiful!! 😍😍😍

[@TheNewPatsyBailey]

*looks at her right immediately* yup there they are, Jodie and Fiona standing up 🥰🥰 this was so well deserved, I would've been happy with each of these incredible women winning, they were all fucking great but imho Phoebe really stood out a bit more.

[@devidia]

How can you not fall in love with her personality?

[@talkingtomyself3423]

It's amazing how many great actresses there are on tv rn. It warms my heart that there are so many affecting, beautifully-written roles for women on tv !!

[@kcha237]

Wow FOX, way to make the voiceover entirely about the losing nominee.

[@jessica5497]

@Rob Rosenberg shes not trying to compete with julia, shes doing her job, she has more things in life to do than think how many awards Julia have

[@ohwellwhateverr]

FOX is a steaming pile of shit.

[@athuldas4959]

It was funny man, jeez

[@Diapontios]

Athul Das No it really was not

[@liz-c39]

Undermining her

[@Oyshi-hx5sk]

very very well deserved!.. I haven't watched a comedy series that had this much impact and super writing for a long time, usually after watching comedy it just doesn't stay in your head .. but fleabag was exceptional!

[@sanskrutipathak2000]

Damn, this girl is everywhere! Not complaining, tho!

[@kbaylor123]

This speech was so funny after the best writer speech

[@andrewcunning]

All the nominees in this category wholeheartedly deserve to be nominated. I would've loved to see a variety of them win (JLD and Catherine), but Phoebe is a very deserved winner! Crossing my fingers for Ms. O'Hara for next year!

[@PraveenYadav-zj4pw]

Your player worked worked😁

[@JG-kk1mr]

she's so charming and brilliant

[@akshatverma6889]

God she doesn't fail. The opening lines are same as the one she used while taking her Writing emmy. Maybe, she really didn't expect to deliver another speech, and then another one!

[@PlaceForAnEcho]

Very impressive. The actresses she was nominated with also had GREAT performances. But PWB is so unique!

[@moumitadas2351]

Fleabag is Phoebe's ultimate raw personality.

[@sherylsmallwood-valdivia5375]

Thank you for uploading!

[@aimanhalim3740]

Imagine if PWB collab with Dan Levy, i swear to God they'll gonna killing it because they both act, write and direct (maybe later for PWB). Both shows were OUT OF THIS WORLD!

[@naserbest8379]

To be honest She is show She is amazing No fleabag without her

I LOVE HER SO MUCH. ❤

What is the song in the end?

[@cueintensemusic3403]

JLD was phenomenal in the last season of Veep but PWB was also beyond amazing in s2 of Fleabag

[@hafsaxvi4027]

As much as I'd love to see JLD win for Veep, I can't deny that Phoebe was amazing in Fleabag. JLD has won enough and she deserves more for her performance in veep but it's nice to see Phoebe win for once.

[@silverfritzreah5598]

she absolutely was about to say "Fuck me"

Somehow Golden Globe Awards way more well prepared than this, they play the winner’s official series theme song when receiving their trophy. Emmy? The most prestigious awards of TV, playing Wrecking Ball to a Lead Actress Comedy Winner?

[@colinwoods9601]

For those whining about JLD not winning-Fleabag is an immensely better show than Veep. And I love both shows, but until this awards show Fleabag and PWB were criminally overlooked. Veep is great but a bit formulaic in its last couple of seasons.

[@DegrassiTop40]

That's, like, your opinion man.

[@colinwoods9601]

DegrassiTop40 careful, man, there’s a beverage here!

[@izetyusein3323]

Colin Woods, Veep is a thousand times better than the overrated snooze fest Fleabag. Plus Veep was great from begging to end, how the fuck was it formulaic

[@jejejesson]

@@izetyusein3323 Nah, the last few seasons have been dull. Fleabag is better.

[@izetyusein3323]

@@jejejesson I disagree but that's your opinion so fair enough

Rachel is Awesome anyways.... she won the golden globe...

[@PhoenixDad14]

Fleabag was a perfect show but I still wish Julia had gone 7 for 7. Veep was HBO at its best

[@tracebechter7754]

As much as I love Phoebe, JLD’s performance in Veep cannot be topped. Would have love to seen her go 7 for 7 for the show.

[@showbizroxs]

Nah fuck that she has enough

[@jessica5497]

Sorry but no. Phobe deserved. Fleabag was one of the best things from 2019

[@Sol-dw1ew]

She won every single year. Let someone else (who was amazing in their own show) win for once

[@thenebean9]

No. Fleabag was just a masterpiece in every way. You don’t hand out awards just cuz you wanna break a record. PWB deserves it more. 🤷🏽‍♀️

[@everythingisawesome2903]

So you want her to win the Emmy so that she can break the record!? What shitty logic is that!? Julia has won so many times, while this show and the lead actress Phoebe has been overlooked which is just criminal. Let someone else win this award instead of your precious Julia hogging everything. Besides, She actually deserved it rather than giving out to an actress year after year so she can "break the record".

[@coronaviruskillerforthegoo3353]

henry 7 angry

[@cleyssonsouza3487]

Still upset than Julia, didn't won for all the seasons of Veep. She is the best on the race. But, Phoebe is great too..

[@holdd13]

American bias

[@gastonpaz8069]

Miley Cyrus's song fucks it

[@CoachingHigher]

They serious couldn’t let Julia break the all-time record and give Phoebe best Writing and Show?

[@ohwellwhateverr]

Because Phoebe actually deserved it. Who gives a shit about records? That would be unfair judging.

How she has fallen over the last year.....Maybe her "brilliant idea" of assaulting Harrison Ford in the last "Indy" film wasn't the best idea in the world after all. She destroyed the movie as her career.

[@spiderjump]

She is a talented actress but she cannot be an action heroine. She is not attractive.

[@antoniofalchi5570]

Do action movies stars have to be attractive? Because as far as I know Alien 2 was fucking insanely great, and the lead actress could not give less of a fuck about being attractive
