2019 Emmys Winners: ‘Fleabag,’ ‘Chernobyl’ and, Yes, ‘Game of Thrones’ Top This Year’s List
After months of campaigning and prognosticating and advocating, the Primetime Emmys are over. On Sunday night at the Microsoft Theater in downtown Los Angeles, awards were given out in 27 categories across a number of different corners of the TV world.
Some big winners from last year (“The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel” and “Barry”) wee back again this year, while a pair of the most-awarded shows in TV history (“Game of Thrones” and “Veep”) were vying for one last chance to rewrite the Emmy record books. In the end, Amazon and HBO series carried the night, with Phoebe Waller-Bridge’s “Fleabag” as the evening’s biggest upset in a number of different categories.
