"During the Creative Arts Emmy Awards on Sept. 6 (held a week before the main ceremony on Sept. 14), Julie Andrews won Outstanding Character Voice-Over Performance for her role as Lady Whistledown. She was specifically recognized for the Season 3 finale, "Into the Light," in which Lady Whistledown announced the retirement of her pen name. "I should like to formally introduce myself: previous wallflower, current columnist, observer, wielder of a quill, nobody unique - and yet, I have my moments," she said."
"Shonda Rhimes, the prolific creator who helped bring Bridgerton to life at Netflix, took to social media to celebrate Andrews' win. "I have such fond memories with Ms. Andrews, and I've seen every one of her films! Truly, I can watch her read a phone book, she's that phenomenal," Rhimes wrote. "I'm so grateful she brought her magic to Bridgerton!" Rhimes and Andrews previously worked together on The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement, with Rhimes penning the script and Andrews, of course, starring as Princess Mia's grandmother"
Bridgerton viewers await Season 4's 2026 premiere. Julie Andrews won the Creative Arts Emmy Award for Outstanding Character Voice-Over Performance on Sept. 6 for her role as Lady Whistledown, specifically for the Season 3 finale "Into the Light," in which Lady Whistledown announced the retirement of her pen name. Penelope (Nicola Coughlan) then took over the voiceover, suggesting Andrews might not continue, but showrunner Jess Brownell expressed a desire to keep Andrews involved and called her voice "key to the feeling of the show." Andrews had been nominated each season and for Queen Charlotte; this marks her first win and Bridgerton's first Emmy performance win. Shonda Rhimes celebrated Andrews' win and recalled their previous collaboration on The Princess Diaries 2.
