Here's who took home the night's biggest prizes
The 72nd Primetime Emmy Awards, hosted by Jimmy Kimmel, are officially over, and even as the event pivoted to a mostly virtual affair, the results were still largely the same: The best and brightest TV shows of the year were celebrated, with their casts, crews, and creative teams walking home (er, staying home) with several shiny prizes (though many categories were already announced at the Creative Arts Emmys last week).
This year, there were a lot of great shows in contention for the night's biggest prizes. On the comedy side, Pop TV's Schitt's Creek enjoyed a clean sweep of the comedy category, including wins for Outstanding Comedy Series and in all four acting categories, besting NBC's The Good Place, HBO's Insecure, Amazon's The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, Netflix's The Kominsky Method, Netflix's Dead to Me, HBO's Curb Your Enthusiasm, and FX's What We Do in the Shadows.
Meanwhile, for drama, Succession nabbed the top honors for Outstanding Drama Series, beating Better Call Saul, The Crown, The Handmaid's Tale, Ozark, Killing Eve, The Mandalorian, and Stranger Things, as many expected. However, the acting fields were a bit more scattered than some might've expected, with the stars of Euphoria, The Morning Show, and Ozark joining Jeremy Strong on the winner's list. Also ranged were the wins for the limited series and movie categories, although earning the win for Outstanding Limited Series was HBO's Watchmen and its lead actors. Read on to find out all of the winners of the 2020 Emmys below.
