Comedy series Fleabag and its main lead and writer Phoebe Waller-Bridge without a doubt were the stipulated rockstar of this year’s Emmy Awards.

Not only did the actor surprise everyone by winning the Best Actress in a Comedy Series for her work as Fleabag, but she also made her fans super proud by winning Outstanding Writing for a Comedy Series.
Waller-Bridge beat industry stalwart Julia Louis-Dreyfus in the same category for her work in the final season of Veep. With the win, she has become the only person after Tina Fey to win an Emmy for writing and acting in the same year.

“It’s the word of mouth stuff that just kills me, knowing people have said ‘I’ve told my friend, and my friend told their friend & now my whole family are watching it’ -that’s the stuff that’s really special” Phoebe Waller-Bridge backstage #Emmys #Fleabaghttps://t.co/tZkcecIkJk

Writing/comedy to #PhoebeWallerBridge That’s a big one, and could anticipate an upset or two. #Emmys2019

Ok so I’m ecstatic for Phoebe but giving her an actual Emmy Statue and not THE Boob Statue is an EGREGIOUS error. #fleabag #Emmys2019 pic.twitter.com/UiGisUaRIT

I know I’m on my period because I cried just seeing photos of #PhoebeWallerBridge at the Emmy’s, so imagine the needless sobbing that manifested over her winning.

Fleabag season 2 is flawless. It’s so nice to know that it is getting the proper recognition. And to hear Phoebe Waller-Bridge gush about Andrew Scott melted my heart! I’m so happy for them all! #Fleabag #Emmys2019

Can you be my mentor? I would settle for standing next to you or in the same room in the hopes that your genius rubs of on me. Lol.#Emmys2019 #Fleabag
So honestly, we are not obsessed with it, we just can’t stop thinking about it.
