'Fleabag' has been winning glowing praise and accolades continuously, and the 'Golden Globes 2020' was no exception. At the 77th Golden Globes Awards, Phoebe Waller-Bridge won Best Actress in TV Series — Comedy, for 'Fleabag'.

The other nominations in the category were:

Christina Applegate, 'Dead to Me'
Natasha Lyonne, 'Russian Doll'
Kirsten Dunst, 'On Becoming a God in Central Florida'
Rachel Brosnahan, 'Marvelous Mrs. Maisel'

'Fleabag' is a British comedy-drama show, written by Phoebe Waller-Bridge herself. She also stars in the lead role.

The show revolves around Fleabag, a fiesty, dry-witted and angry woman living in London. Yet, despite keeping everyone else at bay around her, she still manages to keep up a strong face and a facade of bravado throughout it all.

The critics have raved about this show for its overpowering feminist tones and stance. The show also stars Sian Clifford, Olivia Coleman and Andrew Scott, who plays the role of Moriarty in the BBC 'Sherlock' series.

'Fleabag' premiered on July 21, 2016, and ended on April 8, 2019. It also bagged the Emmy Award for 'Oustanding Comedy Series' and aired on BBC One and BBC Two. 

Meanwhile, 'Golden Globes' is airing live on NBC. Tune in!
