2020 Emmy Awards winners and nominees
The 72nd Primetime Emmy Awards took place Sunday night. The ceremony was held virtually due to the coronavirus pandemic. The awards were presented from the Staples Center in Los Angeles, but there was no red carpet, no audience and, aside from the presenters, no attendees.
Netflix led the way with a record 160 nominations while HBO's "Watchmen" scored the most nominations for any single show with 26. Prior to the ceremony, host Jimmy Kimmel told The Hollywood Reporter he would consider the evening a success "if it isn't boring."
On the comedy side, "Schitt's Creek" cleaned up, taking home the first seven awards presented, including for writing, directing and outstanding comedy series. Things were more split in the drama categories, with HBO's "Succession" taking home the award for outstanding drama series.
