It goes without saying that the Emmy Awards [1] looked very different on Sunday night. Due to the coronavirus pandemic, the award show went completely virtual, which meant that trophy presenters had to drive to the houses of nominees . . . donning hazmat suits. But what happens if you don't win the award? Well, it's hilariously awkward to say the least. After Schitt's Creek [2] actor Eugene Levy took home outstanding lead actor in a comedy series [3], fellow nominee Ramy Youssef captured a video of one of the presenters waving outside his window and leaving his house with an Emmy in hand. "when u lose the emmy," the Ramy actor captioned the clip. He may have lost the Emmy, but he definitely won with this video. Watch his Instagram below.
