Schitt’s Creek won the award for the best comedy series, and its stars Eugene Levy, Catherine O’Hara, Annie Murphy, and Dan Levy all picked up Emmys for their performances in this Canadian sitcom. By doing so, they transformed Schitt’s Creek into the first comedy series to sweep the four main acting categories in a single year.

Dan Levy also won Emmys for writing and directing this series, and became the first person to win an award in all four major disciplines in a single year. Combined with its Creative Arts Emmy wins, Schitt’s Creek became the most-awarded comedy series in a single year.

The list of major winners also included Succession and Watchmen with four wins each, including the best drama series and best-limited series, respectively. The Primetime Emmy Awards were held virtually on September 20th, with Jimmy Kimmel serving as the host.

Watchmen

The post “Schitt’s Creek” Makes History at the 2020 Primetime Emmy Awards appeared first on thestarsworldwide.com.

Watching the premiere of Watchmen, that’s what. 

Damon Lindelof’s long-awaited adaptation of the comic book series starring Jeremy Irons, Regina King, Jean Smart, Don Johnson, Louis Gossett Jr., and Yahya Abdul-Mateen II.

Described by the Lost creator as a sequel rather than a reboot of the original source material, HBO states that “Watchmen embraces the nostalgia of the original groundbreaking graphic novel of the same name, while attempting to break new ground of its own.”

This was proven with 800,000 people tuning in to the first episode on Sunday night, making it the most-watched new series debut this year.

The viewership of graphic novel series expanded to 1.5 million people when HBO Now and HBO Go were taken into account. 

The numbers have now made Watchmen the strongest digital debut for an HBO series since the premiere of Westworld in 2016.
