The 72nd Primetime Emmy Awards took place Sunday night and were hosted by Jimmy Kimmel. In addition to being held virtually, there were a ton of firsts during the awards ceremony.
Schitt’s Creek was the first series to win every major comedy award including best comedy series and acting wins for Eugene Levy, Daniel Levy, Catherine O’Hara, and Annie Murphy. In total, the series went home with seven awards.
Watchmen went home with four awards and it was the first time a comic-book adaptation won in the limited series category.
Zendaya also made history for winning the lead drama actress award for Euphoria, becoming the youngest-ever winner in the category at just 24 and as the second Black actor to take home the win.
