The Emmys have never been so damn good.
Television has never been so damn good, Bryan Cranston boasted in the opening moments of Sunday night’s Emmy telecast, and, wonder of wonders, voters actually made a great many choices this year that reflected that excellence.
Television Academy members, though, fell hard for “Fleabag” and its creator, Phoebe Waller-Bridge, who, remarkably, bested Louis-Dreyfus in the comedy lead actress category. “This is just getting ridiculous,” Waller-Bridge said, accepting the series honor. But it wasn’t ridiculous at all. The “Fleabag” wins stand as one the great triumphs in the history of the Emmys. This year’s comedy categories were full of interesting, deserving choices. Voters went with the best.
