Phoebe Waller-Bridge is living the dream: Emmys. Golden Globes. Critics Choice. SAG awards. That’s a full sweep for our favourite little
Fleabag that could, and no one is more humbled, honoured and tickled than PWB herself, who gave a moving and heartfelt speech when she won on Sunday night for Best Actress in a Comedy Series.“At some point it will all hit me and I’ll go into a corner and have a good old cry about it,” she breathlessly said as she accepted the award. “But tonight, we as a
Fleabag gang from the U.K. will soak this up and celebrate this evening with all of you amazing actors in a room that I never imagined I would ever be in. So thank you. This whole thing really has been a dream, and if I wake up tomorrow and discover it was just that, then thank you, it’s been the most beautiful dream.”Aww, isn't she the cutest and Pheebs' (can we call her Pheebs?) dream-fulfillment seems never-ending. Last week, when PWB and
Fleabag won big at the Critics' Choice Awards,
she revealed in an acceptance speech that JLo was actually the inspiration for Andrew Scott’s
Hot Priest character. Yes, the one and only Jennifer Lopez was on Waller-Bridge's mind while she was crafting the hottest priest on the block—which TBH seems totally on-brand for PWB. She said at the Critics's Choice Awards that once she figured out HP's favourite song was “Jenny From the Block," “it opened up the entire character" and then thanked JLo (as one must do).[video_embed id='-1']RELATED: JLo made up her own dance moves for ‘Hustlers’[/video_embed]Then, exactly a week later, JLo and PWal (does that work?) are suddenly
hob-nobbing at the SAG Awards. Yes, there is some semblance of order and justice in the world and this is the proof.
Frankly, who could blame PWB for shaping a character solely on his love of a 2002 banger? The woman behind the track has a string of number 1 hits, she’s about to perform at the Super Bowl Halftime show; she’s engaged to a
blisteringly-hot Yankee; she wowed critics with her turn in
Hustlers this year; and she’s
also the hottest woman alive (we’re putting our foot down on this).In any case, we're vibrating with excitement over the fact these two finally got to fist-bump and high-five on Sunday night during the SAG ceremony, and as the
Fleabag twitter account put so succinctly: "here’s to two of the best women in (show) business." *clink*[video_embed id='-1']BEFORE YOU GO: Dog speaks in its dreams while napping on a pile of dirty laundry[/video_embed]
