" Game of Thrones " has certainly achieved an uprising at the Emmy Awards this Sunday night, winning the award for the best drama series for its final season, but it is the British comedy " Fleabag ", black and squeaky, which has created the real surprise of the evening and marked the triumph of the British Phoebe Waller-Bridge.
The long-awaited announcement fell just before 8 pm local time from Michael Douglas. Game of Thrones was voted Best Drama Series for the 4th time in eight seasons. This is not really a surprise as the show phenomenon was favorite.
" It's amazing you're still alive "
The 24,000 votes of the Television Academy obviously did not pay attention to the anger of some disgruntled fans who demanded that this 8th and final season be rewritten and returned .
" We want to thank our wonderful and adorable actors. You make everything you write better. Thanks also to the film crews, the most hardworking in the show business. Those who shot 70 nights straight in the cold and rainy nights of Belfast. Those who have toured all over the world. You are all incredible and it's amazing that you are still alive, "said DB Weiss, one of the two creators of the show.
Fleabag , the surprise of the Emmy Awards
The Emmy Awards rewarded another phenomenon. Her name: Phoebe Waller-Bridge. This 34-year-old Briton, the creator of the Fleabag series on a London-based bachelor, has been three times on stage looking for an Emmy for best writing, best actress and best comic series.
" When I started writing the series, I was cynical and depressed by the state of the world. To write this character has been cathartic for me, "said the creator of the series.
His triumph is a surprise and a good news for Amazon, which broadcasts the series in the United States on its Prime Video platform. Even though Phoebe Waller-Bridge assures that there will be no 3rd season.
