Emmy Awards 2019: Fleabag among major winners

(UTV|COLOMBO) – 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 night.

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.

Waller-Bridge also joked that the possibility of winning awards was the reason she wrote the series in the first place.

“I find writing really hard and really painful, but I’d like to say from the bottom of my heart that the reason that I do it is this,” she said, holding up the Emmy statuette. “So it’s made it all really worth it guys, thank you so much.”
