We didn't know what to expect from the Emmys this year, but as a wise man once said: the show must go on! The 72nd Emmy Awards [1] were held remotely for the first time in history, with Jimmy Kimmel, who hosted the show at LA's Staples Centre. Nominees tuned in from all over the world to celebrate and accept their awards, and some even held their own socially-distanced viewing parties! Schitt's Creek [2] was one of the biggest winners of the evening, collecting an impressive nine gold statues [3], while stars like Regina King, Julia Garner, and Zendaya [4] all snagged awards of their own.
In addition to all the winners, the show had some must-see fashion moments [5] (like Reese Witherspoon's slippers [6]), incredible acceptance speeches (like Mark Ruffalo's powerful speech [7]), and even a Friends cast reunion [8] (yay!). Despite the internet's unpredictable nature, the remote show was a success! Have a look at some of the best Emmys moments ahead.
