At the 2025 Creative Arts Emmy Awards, the legendary Julie Andrews finally secured her long-awaited Emmy in the Outstanding Character Voice-Over Performance category for her role as Lady Whistledown in Bridgerton’s episode “Into the Light.” After three heartening nominations—in 2021, 2022, and 2023—Andrews’s warm, poised narration earned her this well-deserved win. Craig Robinson accepted the Emmy on her behalf, as Andrews was not present at the ceremony.
Her victory stands out among the evening’s accolades, which also celebrated outstanding achievements across television—from technical craftsmanship to animated storytelling. In voice acting, Andrews prevailed over a remarkably talented field, including Hank Azaria (The Simpsons), Maya Rudolph (Big Mouth), Alan Tudyk (Andor), Jeffrey Wright (What If…?), and Steven Yeun (Invincible).
For Andrews—who brings Lady Whistledown to life entirely through remote recordings, never meeting her Bridgerton co-stars in person—this triumph is a beautifully fitting testament to her enduring grace, narrative charm, and unmatched talent.
