Game of Thrones wins the best series, but Fleabag and Chernobyl steal the scene
Among the big winners of the night was the Amazon-dominated comedy category: while The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel was awarded Best Supporting Actor and Best Supporting Actress, the surprising “Fleabag” won the top awards in the category and left behind last season. of “Veep” (HBO), its great competitor and the most expected to win, as this was the last season of the series.
Phoebe Waller-Bridge was undoubtedly one of the main surprises of the night. After winning the well-deserved Best Comedy Series Award, Phoebe returned to the stage to receive the Best Actress and Best Series award, both within her own Comedy category. Fleabag also won for Best Comedy Series Direction for the first episode directed by Tim Kirkby and scripted by Phoebe Waller-Bridge herself.
In the other categories, HBO and Netflix were well-known for their equally competent and exciting productions. Chernobyl won the disputed Best Miniseries award, and Jharrel Jerome of the Netflix Eyes Dooming miniseries won the Best Actor Miniseries or TV Movie award.
Although the praised Eyes Damning had three nominations for Best Supporting Actor in Miniseries or TV Movie, it was Ben Whishaw of A Very English Scandal (BBC) who won the category. Something even more interesting happened with the Best Supporting Actress in Drama category, where Game of Thrones four nominations but lost to Ozark (Netflix) with Julia Garner.
Black Mirror: Bandersnatch ‘s unexpected award for Best TV Movie was also featured. Although it has poor script and dragged events at various times, the big news of the film is its interactivity function where the viewer chooses the actions of the players in certain situations.
