Emmys 2019: Winners Include Fleabag, Chernobyl, and Game of Thrones

The Emmy® Awards is a true celebration of television, and this year it felt bigger and better than ever. One key difference? The Emmys followed in the footsteps of the Oscars by going hostless, which felt like the right decision and allowed for an extra-special night of television awards. 

Fleabag won several awards, with wins for writing, directing, best actress, and most outstanding comedy series. The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel and Barry also took home Emmy Awards this year.

For the drama categories, this year’s winners came from Ozark, Killing Eve, Pose, and Game of Thrones, with Game of Thrones winning the award for most outstanding drama series.

And history was made when Billy Porter became the first openly gay African American actor to win the Emmy for Lead Actor in a Drama Series for his work on Pose.

See the list of winners below, as well as photos from the event. And be sure to let us know what you thought of this year’s awards in the comments.
