Phoebe Waller-Bridge, ‘Chernobyl’, ‘Succession’ win at Golden Globes

Fleabag

Fleabag star Phoebe Waller-Bridge and The Crown actor Olivia Colman were among the stand-out winners at the Golden Globes last night, alongside dramas including Succession and Chernobyl.

Waller-Bridge, who struck an overall deal with Amazon in September, was named Best Actress in a TV Series for her role in Fleabag at the 77th edition of the star-studded awards ceremony at the Beverly Hilton in LA.

Colman took the Best Actress in a Drama prize for her role as the Queen in Netflix drama The Crown, leaving The Morning Show’s Jennifer Aniston and Killing Eve’s Jodie Comer among those left empty handed.

HBO drama Succession won the Best TV Drama award, beating off competition from shows including The Crown and Killing Eve, while the show’s lead Brian Cox took the Best Actor in a Drama Series trophy.

Chernobyl fought off series including George Clooney-starring Catch-22 to claim the Best TV Limited Series prize, while Waller-Bridge’s Fleabag was back among the prizes after being named Best TV Series.

Harry and Jack Williams, writers and managing directors at Fleabag producer Two Brothers Pictures, and executive producer Sarah Hammond, said: “We have been in love with Fleabag – the story, the cast, the characters and our whole Fleabag team – for a long time, but we are constantly surprised by the unconditional love that viewers have for it too. To win Best Television Series, musical or comedy, at the Golden Globes is astonishing, especially against such incredible competition, whom we are such fans of.”

Fleabag’s first season aired on BBC Three the UK in July 2016, before being released on Amazon in September that year, with the show returning for a second run in 2019.

Elsewhere, Ramy Youssef won the globe for Best Actor in a TV Series for Ramy, Michelle Williams took the prize for Best Actress in a Limited Series for Fosse/Verdon, and Russell Crowe took home the Best Actor in a Limited Series prize for The Loudest Voice.

On the film front, Netflix’s The Irishman missed out on the Best Motion Picture prize after being beaten by Sam Mendes’ 1917, Renée Zellweger was named Best Actress in a Motion Picture for her role in Judy, and Joaquin Phoenix took the Best Actor prize for Joker.
