TV’s finest struck gold Sunday at the 2019 Emmy Awards on Fox.
“Game of Thrones” scorched the Best Drama competition like a scorned dragon. Sandra Oh, 48, didn’t make history as the first Asian-American woman to win an Emmy for Best Actress — and Julia Louis-Dreyfus, 58, didn’t reap a record-setting ninth acting trophy on her final “Veep” victory lap.
But some buzzy breakout talents made a little history of their own.
First-time winners such as “Fleabag” creator-star Phoebe Waller-Bridge, 34, and “When They See Us” star Jharrel Jerome, 21, ruled the spotlight at the host-free — for better or worse — ceremony at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles. Other crowd-pleasing Emmy virgins: Billy Porter of “Pose” and Ben Whishaw of “A Very English Scandal.”
Major small screen awards also went to veteran big screen talents such as Oscar winner Patricia Arquette, 51, (“The Act”) and four-time Oscar nominee Michelle Williams, 39, (“Fosse/Verdon”). Meanwhile, repeat winners including Peter Dinklage, 50, and Alex Borstein, 48, also took home trophies for “Game of Thrones” and “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel,” respectively.
