Emmy Winners Include ‘Watchmen,’ Zendaya, And A ‘Schitt’s Creek’ Sweep

Last night, the 72nd Primetime Emmy Awards were held, obviously under much different circumstances than normal. Conducted virtually, it was a sign of the COVID-19 times, but more or less went off without a hitch. Plus, as a general rule, people seem rather pleased with the winners. There was Schitt’s Creek pulling a sweep and becoming the first ever series to win every major comedy award in a year, including of course Best Comedy Series. There was Succession taking Best Drama Series, while Watchmen expectedly dominated the Best Limited Series field. Plus, there were even surprises, like Zendaya pulling an upset win for Best Actress in a Drama Series (for Euphoria). Overall, it seemed like a night of celebrations, which we’ve definitely needed in a big way… Here are all of your Emmy winners for 2020: Drama Series “Better Call Saul” (AMC) “The Crown” (Netflix) “The Handmaid’s Tale” (Hulu) “Killing Eve” (BBC America/AMC) “The Mandalorian” (Disney Plus) “Ozark” (Netflix) “Stranger Things” (Netflix) “Succession” (HBO) (WINNER) Supporting Actress in a Drama Series Laura Dern (“Big Little Lies”) Meryl Streep (“Big Little Lies”) Helena Bonham Carter (“The Crown”) Samira Wiley (“The Handmaid’s Tale”) Fiona Shaw (“Killing Eve”) Julia Garner (“Ozark”) (WINNER) Sarah Snook (“Succession”) Thandie Newton (“Westworld”) Supporting Actor in a Drama Series Giancarlo Esposito (“Better Call Saul”) Bradley Whitford (“The Handmaid’s Tale”) Billy Crudup (“The Morning Show”) (WINNER) Mark Duplass (“The Morning Show”) Nicholas Braun (“Succession”) Kieran Culkin (“Succession”) Matthew Macfadyen (“Succession”) Jeffrey Wright (“Westworld”) Directing for a Drama Series “The Crown,” “Aberfan” (Netflix) Benjamin Caron “The Crown,” “Cri de Coeur” (Netflix) Jessica Hobbs “Homeland,” “Prisoners of War” (Showtime) Lesli Linka Glatter “The Morning Show,” “The Interview” (Apple TV Plus) Mimi Leder “Ozark,” “Fire Pink” (Netflix) Alik Sakharov “Ozark,” “Su Casa Es Mi Casa” (Netflix) Ben Semanoff Andrij Parekh “Succession,” “Hunting” (HBO) (WINNER) “Succession,” “This Is Not for Tears” (HBO) Mark Mylod Writing for a Drama Series “Better Call Saul,” “Bad Choice Road” (AMC) Thomas Schnauz “Better Call Saul,” “Bagman” (AMC) Gordon Smith “The Crown,” “Aberfan” (Netflix) Peter Morgan “Ozark,” “All In” (Netflix) Chris Mundy “Ozark,” “Boss Fight” (Netflix) John Shiban “Ozark,” “Fire Pink” (Netflix) Miki Johnson “Succession,” “This Is Not for Tears” (HBO) (WINNER) Jesse Armstrong Lead Actress in a Drama Series Jennifer Aniston (“The Morning Show”) Olivia Colman (“The Crown”) Jodie Comer (“Killing Eve”) Laura Linney (“Ozark”) Sandra Oh (“Killing Eve”) Zendaya (“Euphoria”) (WINNER) Lead Actor in a Drama […]
