Emmy Awards 2020: The list of winners

The 72nd Emmy Awards ceremony was hosted virtually by Jimmy Kimmel onstage at downtown L.A.’s Staples Center with 130 nominees socially distanced at home across 10 countries and 20 cities.

HBO’s limited series Watchmen was the leading nominee heading into the show, and its star Regina King won her fourth Emmy for lead actress. Schitt’s Creek took every comedy trophy, including lead actress, lead actor, best supporting actor and actress, best writing and best direction, and best overall comedy.

Watchmen won best limited series, and series star Yahya Abdul-Mateen won best supporting actor for his work on the show.

Best actor in a drama went to Succession star Jeremy Strong, while Euphoria star Zendaya became the youngest winner in the drama actress category at age 24 (topping Jodie Comer, who was 26 when she won last year for Killing Eve). The biggest award of the night, best drama, went to HBO’s Succession.
