OUTSTANDING LEADING ACTRESS IN A COMEDY SERIES

Pamela Adlon as Sam Fox for ("Woman Is the Something of the Something") in "BETTER THINGS"
Rachel Bloom as Rebecca Bunch for ("When Will Josh See How Cool I Am?") in "CRAZY EX-GIRLFRIEND"
Justina Machado as Penelope Alvarez for ("Hold, Please") in "ONE DAY AT A TIME"
Issa Rae as Issa Dee for ("Insecure as Fuck") in "INSECURE"
Gina Rodriguez as Jane Gloriana Villanueva for ("Chapter Sixty-Three") in "JANE THE VIRGIN"
Phoebe Waller-Bridge as Fleabag for ("Episode 1") in "FLEABAG"

AND THE WINNER IS:


RACHEL BLOOM AS REBECCA BUNCH FOR ("WHEN WILL JOSH SEE HOW COOL I AM?") IN "CRAZY EX-GIRLFRIEND"

This is the second win and nomination for Rachel Bloom. She won this year for her music for the show, this win is for her performance as Rebecca Bunch on the CW's Crazy Ex-Girlfriend.

Yet again I've got to reward Crazy Ex-Girlfriend's extremely great second season. Rachel Bloom is the powerhouse behind the show and her performance this season was nothing short of excellent. She was able to build on the character of Rebecca who for most of the first season was quite difficult to watch make terrible life decisions. Rebecca or Bloom's approach to the character this season made we fall in love for her even as she made some terrible choices. Bloom embraced the wackiness, sadness and love the character has portrayed throughout the show. Bonus points to Bloom for her vocal talent that is matched by not many people on tv.
