Phoebe Waller-Bridge is creative force to be reckoned with, and she’s getting all the recognition she deserves this year. The multi-talented artist is set to be honored with the British artist of the year award at the upcoming BAFTA LA Britannia ceremony.

This honor is well-deserved since Waller-Bridge gave us two critically acclaimed shows with Killing Eve and Fleabag, and went on to receive several Emmy nominations. She also scored a writing gig on the upcoming James Bond movie No Time to Die.

BAFTA Los Angeles’ CEO, Chantal Rickards, announced the pick in an official statement, and praised Weller-Bridge’s phenomenal talent and ability to break down barriers and promote the power of the female voice.

“As a multi-talented actor, writer, creator and showrunner, Phoebe’s sensational work in both comedy and drama has captured the attention of audiences globally. Her ability to effortlessly connect with the viewer, seamlessly break the fourth wall, and effectively address deeply relevant issues through comedy is truly remarkable,” said Rickards.
