But while Phoebe went home with three Emmy trophies, Andrew Scott a.k.a. Hot Priest did not even bag a single nomination for his role. This Emmys snub shocked many of the show’s fans and even had many late-night talk show hosts talking about this snub in their monologue. But this time, the odds of Andrew Scott winning an Emmy are high, states the media portal’s report.

Scott is battling against James Cromwell from Succession, Giancarlo Esposito from The Mandalorian, Jason Bateman from The Outsider, Martin Short from The Morning Show, and Ron Cephas Jones from This Is Us. Whereas, Phoebe Waller-Bridge is competing against Wanda Sykes from The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel and Maya Rudolph from The Good Place. Since SNL has won many awards in the past including for its comedy guests, Phoebe can expect a win in this category.
