72nd Annual Primetime Emmy Awards?Sunday night’s first-ever virtual Emmys telecast went off with nary a hitch — and was transformed into a celebration of “Schitt’s Creek,” the Canadian-produced Pop TV sitcom that sailed away on an ocean of statuettes across several major categories — including awards for stars Catherine O’Hara, Eugene Levy, Daniel Levy and Annie Murphy (“Boop!”).
Job well done for a series that deserved all the accolades. (Heck, it even won “two Peabody Awards . . . and a Soul Train Award,” host Jimmy Kimmel joked.) The cast accepted its awards, live, from Canada.
Nice touch.Speaking of Kimmel, he and the 2020 Emmys telecast’s home network, ABC, did nearly the impossible given the unprecedented circumstances.
