Renee Zellweger Is About to Make History and Serve Bridget Jones Realness at the Oscars and the Emmys — Queen Behavior Only

Buy Me A Coffee

Renee Zellweger is out here trying to do what no woman (or man, or smug married) has ever done before — win both an Oscar and an Emmy for being Bridget Jones. Yes, the queen of oversized knickers and emotional chaos is back and she’s snatching trophies like it’s a sale at Selfridges.

In case you’ve been living under a rock—or worse, in a relationship with someone who doesn’t know who Bridget Jones is—let’s recap. Renee got her first Oscar nom back in 2001 for portraying everyone’s favorite messy, romantic, chain-smoking Londoner in Bridget Jones’s Diary. Fast forward to 2025 (because time is fake now), and Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy has landed on Peacock like a well-timed text from your ex when you’re finally over them.

Now get this: Peacock (yes, the streaming service with the name of a bird but the ambition of Beyoncé) has submitted Renee for an Emmy. If she gets nominated, she’ll be the first actress in history to receive both an Oscar and an Emmy nod for playing the same character. We repeat: BRIDGET JONES MIGHT WIN AN EMMY. Somewhere, Mark Darcy is furrowing his brow in proud silence.

But wait, there’s more! Our beloved floppy-haired chaos agent Hugh Grant is also back as Daniel “Walking Red Flag” Cleaver, and he’s been tossed into the Emmy ring for Best Supporting Actor. Who knew emotional unavailability could be award-winning?

Also on the Emmy hitlist:

  • Michael Morris, submitted for directing the limited series because someone has to wrangle all this delightful British dysfunction into one screen.
  • Helen Fielding (aka Mother Bridget herself), Dan Mazer, and Abi Morgan have all been submitted for writing. Because duh, those iconic one-liners don’t write themselves.

Bottom line: Renee might just walk into history in heels and a bunny costume. We are living in the golden age of nostalgia-fueled excellence, and Bridget Jones is still That Girl. Iconic. Unbothered. Potentially double-awarded.

Let’s all raise a glass (or three) of chardonnay and toast to the possible Emmy-Oscar domination of our diary-keeping queen.
