  • Anecdotes: Alex Borstein's swipe at the ridiculous Kardashian

In the end, a breath of fresh air was imposed. In an Emmy gala that aimed to be predictable until exhaustion by the end of Game of Thrones , the tall, casual and unexpected figure of Phoebe Waller-Bridge , the British behind one of the most irreverent and direct comedies of the spectrum Global television Fleabag, from Amazon Prime Video , did not give the profile against more typical and even commercial series, if you like, but it turned the gala into a permanent celebration of his own. It was made with six awards in total, four during Sunday night at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles .

"This is starting to be ridiculous," the Londoner said with laughter as she went up to receive the Emmy for best comedy. Reason was not lacking, to some extent. Shredding industry forecasts is not a simple task. Veep said goodbye, the political satire of Julia Louis-Dreyfus who had already won the same award three times before, and in the same list was last year's winner, The Wonderful Mrs. Maisel . However, the glory was his.

In addition to the award for best comedy of the year, the creation of Waller-Bridge won the awards for best screenplay, best direction and best actress for the performer of his own invention - plus two technical cuts. Waller-Bridge, 34, 182 centimeters tall, the showrunner of Killing Eve , screenwriter of the latest installment of James Bond, No Time to Die , and the voice of an android in Solo , the battalion of Star Wars, is the woman Orchestra of a series that has had to wait for its second season to be noticed in a big way.

Although she never says so, she is Fleabag - according to the credits - a young Londoner "disturbed, perverted and angry" , as she herself described in the gala, with a problem of sex addiction and an infinite ability to black humor To begin with, in the first chapter of the second season he falls in love with a priest despite being an atheist from head to toe. But not unpleasant, even with its constant narcissism and neurosis . Perhaps because of his intelligence and brilliance, with a brutal connection with the viewer. Waller-Bridge throws down the fourth wall with a devastating and unsettling constancy. Come on, that House of Cards is fine rain next to this.

For everything and for much more he took ahead of the great-bye spirits of Veep , who suffered a break from breast cancer of his protagonist and went empty. Yes, he fulfilled the script Game of Thrones , which disappointed millions of followers with the eighth season, and that was still done with the Emmy for best drama series.

The creation of David Benoiff and DB Weiss , based on the novels of George RR Martin , ended his journey in the Emmy with 59 statuettes and 161 nominations , a brand that will be difficult to overcome. The other award of the night went to Peter Dinklage . The little great New Jersey actor took his fourth Emmy as best supporting actor. "We walked through fire and ice, literally. And I would do it again without thinking," said the interpreter.

Much more prominence was Chernobyl at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles. The bleak and brilliant HBO miniseries won three awards during the gala to add to seven last week. He got the best miniseries, best script in the same category and best direction by Johan Renck . Not only did critics surrender to their level of perfection.

Billy Porter made good predictions as best drama actor for Pose , a different series about Latin and African-American LGBT culture in the 80s in New York. He was surprised by Jodie Come r, who beat his co-star, Sandra Oh , at Killing Eve , as best drama actress.

Jason Bateman won the award for best direction for Ozark , giving Netflix air on a night clearly dominated by HBO, with 34 awards against 27 of his competitor and 15 Amazon. The series also won the award for best supporting actress, awarded to Julia Garner .

In the field of comedy, Bill Hader repeated luck with Emmy for best comedy actor for his work in the second season of Barry , Alec Berg's bright dark comedy and Hader himself.

The wonderful Mrs. Maisel did not go wrong either. In his second season he won 8 awards. Tony Shalhoub met the Emmy for best supporting actor in a comedy while his partner, Alex Borstein , did the same as best supporting actress.

It is good to see that there is life beyond Westeros.
