The 2019 Emmy Awards will take place on September 22nd, meaning you only have a few more days to re-watch all of Fleabag before it sweeps the awards.
Outstanding Comedy Series
Barry (HBO)Fleabag (Prime Video)The Good Place (NBC)The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel (Prime Video)Russian Doll (Netflix)Schitt’s Creek (Pop TV)Veep (HBO)
Our Pick: While there are some stellar series on this list, it’s really a no brainer who will be taking home the Emmy: Fleabag. While the other series may be funny, nothing can really compare to the funniest, most heartfelt show ever made. If you aren’t convinced, just watch the opening scene of Season 2. Praise be to our lord and savior, Phoebe Waller-Bridge.

Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series
Christina Applegate, Dead to MeRachel Brosnahan, The Marvelous Mrs. MaiselJulia Louis-Dreyfus, VeepNatasha Lyonne, Russian DollCatherine O’Hara, Schitt’s CreekPhoebe Waller-Bridge, Fleabag
Our Pick: Are you even paying attention? It’s embarrassing I even have to say it: Phoebe Waller-Motherf*cking-Bridge. How many times have you watched her monologue at the salon about the importance of hair? WRONG. The answer is not enough times.

Outstanding Drama Series
Better Call Saul (AMC)Bodyguard (Netflix)Game of Thrones (HBO)Killing Eve (BBC America)Ozark (Netflix)Pose (FX)Succession (HBO)This Is Us (NBC)Our Pick: Okay, so this one is a really difficult call; after all, Waller-Bridge also wrote Killing Eve. But we’re gonna have to go with…Fleabag.Yes, I recognize Fleabag isn’t actually nominated in this category, but do you remember the scene between Fleabag and Belinda at the bar? DO YOU REMEMBER? Show me a more brilliantly well-crafted dramatic scene than this one. I’ll wait.

Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series
Anthony Anderson, black-ish Don Cheadle, Black MondayTed Danson, The Good PlaceMichael Douglas, The Kominsky MethodBill Hader, BarryEugene Levy, Schitt’s Creek
Our Pick: I know, I know. Neither Phoebe Waller-Bridge nor Fleabag are in this category, and it wouldn’t have even been possible for them to be nominated. In light of that, our official pick is…Hugh Skinner! Skinner plays Harry, Fleabag’s meek boyfriend/ex-boyfriend, and is undoubtedly one of the funniest parts of the show. Remember when Fleabag tried to prank him in the shower? Watch it again, anyways.

Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series
Jason Bateman, OzarkSterling K. Brown, This Is UsKit Harington, Game of ThronesBob Odenkirk, Better Call SaulBilly Porter, PoseMilo Ventimiglia, This Is Us
Our Pick: Everyone knows This Is Us is one of the most dramatic, cry-inducing shows ever made, and it’s hard to compete with anything Billy Porter does, but that’s not gonna stop us from picking Andrew Scott! No, yes, Fleabag is technically not a drama series, and no, Andrew Scott is not eligible in this category, but I’m honestly tired of your negativity, so just shove it, okay? Watch the final scene of Fleabag season 2 and then try to tell me Andrew Scott doesn’t deserve this award. Also, KNEEL.

Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series
Emilia Clarke, Game of ThronesJodie Comer, Killing EveViola Davis, How to Get Away with MurderLaura Linney, OzarkMandy Moore, This Is UsSandra Oh, Killing EveRobin Wright, House of Cards
Our Pick: Look at me. Look at me. “Are you alright, Father?” “Oh, look at you calling me father like it doesn’t turn you on just to say it…” Sorry, had to get that out of my system real fast.
Anyways, the Emmy goes to Phoebe-Waller Bridge! Also, can we throw a few of those golden statues Olivia Colman’s way? She’s just the best.
If you have ever questioned whether Fleabag was the best show ever created, let this revisitation of Waller-Bridge’s confessional monologue set your mind at ease.
