Aussie gold! Elizabeth Debicki wins her first Emmy award for her portrayal of Princess Diana in The Crown

Debicki's portrayal of the late princess was praised for its nuance and depth.

Elizabeth Debicki has won her first Emmy award for her portrayal of Princess Diana in the Netflix series The Crown.

Debicki was nominated for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series for her performance in the show's fifth season, which chronicled Diana's tumultuous relationship with Prince Charles and her eventual death in a car crash in 1997.

Debicki's win is a significant achievement for the Australian actress.

She is the first Australian woman to win an Emmy award for a lead role in a drama series since Cate Blanchett won for her performance in Mrs. America in 2020.

Debicki's win is also a testament to the power of The Crown, which has become one of Netflix's most popular and critically acclaimed shows.

The show has won numerous awards, including 11 Emmy awards, and has been praised for its lavish production values and its nuanced portrayal of the British royal family.

Debicki's performance as Diana was particularly praised for its sensitivity and its ability to capture the princess's complex personality.

The actress said she was "honored" to have won the Emmy award and thanked the show's creators and her fellow cast and crew.

"I'm so grateful for this opportunity to have played this extraordinary woman," Debicki said.

"She was a force of nature, and her story is one that continues to inspire and move people around the world."
