Phoebe Waller-Bridge and Jodie Comer enjoyed a stunning night as Britain’s leading ladies swept to surprise victories at the Emmys.
Waller-Bridge’s shock win for her leading actress in a comedy series was followed by Comer’s triumph for her portrayal of psychopathic assassin Villanelle in Killing Eve.
Waller-Bridge’s night got even better when Fleabag was named outstanding comedy and denied Veep a dream farewell.
Taking to the stage, standing in disbelief, she said: “This is just getting ridiculous.”
Waller-Bridge had earlier won a prize for writing the show. She added the third win was “absolutely mental”.
During her acceptance speech for lead actress in a drama, Liverpool-born Comer revealed her parents were back home because she did not invite them, believing she would lose against stellar competition which included her Killing Eve co-star Sandra Oh.
The pair embraced as a dazed Comer, wearing a Tom Ford gown, made her way to the stage.
Game Of Thrones went out on a high at the biggest night in US television, defying the middling critical response to its eighth and final season to win outstanding drama series.
HBO’s sprawling fantasy epic won the gong for the fourth time, putting it in hallowed company alongside Hill Street Blues, LA Law, The West Wing and Mad Men.
However, in the individual categories its stars were largely snubbed, with only Peter Dinklage winning.
The show had no joy in the female supporting category, where the quartet of Lena Headey, Gwendoline Christie, Sophie Turner and Maisie Williams were shock losers to Ozark star Julia Garner.
A tearful Billy Porter made history as the first openly gay black man to win outstanding lead actor in a drama series.
