Who prevailed with a prize (or seven)?
The TV industry’s shiniest evening of the year, a.k.a. the Primetime Emmy Awards, looked entirely different this year, given the ceaseless pandemic. The 2012 and 2016 host, Jimmy Kimmel, was truly started up to emcee the merriments once more, this time from the generally empty Staples Center in L.A., with champs tolerating grants distantly, for all intents and purposes, and carefully.
The soonest — and greatest — story of the night came kindness of our Canadian companions, explicitly Pop TV’s wealth to-clothes satire Schitt’s Creek, which had captured 15 selections. Stars Dan Levy, Eugene Levy, Catherine O’Hara, and Annie Murphy all won in their acting classes — turning into the principal show to actually pull off that accomplishment — while Dan added to his completely noteworthy night by winning in the composition and coordinating classifications also. To finish off their run, Schitt’s Creek guaranteed the Outstanding Comedy Series grant, making it an exceptional seven prizes in succession. With two successes at the Creative Arts Emmys, the arrangement set another precedent for most Emmys wins by a satire arrangement in a solitary season, with nine.
When the Schitt’s compass finished, HBO held its own prize procession. To start with, dystopic hero show Watchmen — which entered the night with an arrangement driving walloping 26 designations (and 7 successes at the Creative Arts Emmys) — seized four additional honors, including Outstanding Limited Series, and acting prizes for Regina King and Yahya Abdul-Mateen II. Outfitted with 18 selections (and three successes at the Creative Arts Emmys), Succession asserted four additional honors, including Outstanding Drama Series, Lead Actor for Jeremy Strong, and composing and coordinating. Zendaya (Euphoria) additionally added to the organization’s prize coffers by pushing out Jennifer Aniston, Jodie Comer, Olivia Colman, Sandra Oh, and Laura Linney in the Lead Actress in a Drama classification, while I Know This Much is True’s Mark Ruffalo prevailed in the Lead Actor in a Limited Series or Movie class.
To see who else had a sparkly, cheerful night — and who didn’t (The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel and The Crown, however they brought home four and two Creative Arts Emmys, separately) — look through the total rundown of victors at the 72nd Emmy Awards. (Tyler Perry got the Governors Award.)
