\n Wait \u2014 was that a tribute to \u201cSchitt\u2019s Creek\u201d or the 72nd Annual Primetime Emmy Awards?<\/p>\n

Sunday night\u2019s first-ever virtual Emmys telecast went off with nary a hitch \u2014 and was transformed into a celebration of \u201cSchitt\u2019s Creek,\u201d the Canadian-produced Pop TV sitcom that sailed away on an ocean of statuettes across several major categories \u2014 including awards for stars Catherine O\u2019Hara, Eugene Levy, Daniel Levy and Annie Murphy (\u201cBoop!\u201d). Job well done for a series that deserved all the accolades. (Heck, it even won \u201ctwo Peabody Awards .\u2009.\u2009. and a Soul Train Award,\u201d host Jimmy Kimmel joked.) The cast accepted its awards, live, from Canada. Nice touch.<\/p>\n

Speaking of Kimmel, he and the 2020 Emmys telecast\u2019s home network, ABC, did nearly the impossible given the unprecedented circumstances. In short, they nailed it: No audience in the Staples Center? No problem. ABC used a \u201cvirtual audience\u201d from last year\u2019s telecast for Kimmel\u2019s opening monologue, allowing the tuxedo-clad host a chance to riff to celebrity cardboard cutouts \u2014 save for \u201cOzark\u201d star and Emmy nominee Jason Bateman, who showed up in-person (fully tuxed) to banter with Kimmel before walking out in faux disgust when Kimmel told him he\u2019d \u201chave to laugh\u201d at his jokes during the \u201cpand-Emmys.\u201d<\/p>\n

It was, in fact, a fun, entertaining way to watch a show in a genre that usually drags with too many congratulatory speeches and cringe-worthy banter between presenters. The in-person presenters, including Jennifer Aniston, Zendaya<\/a>, Jason Sudeikis and Tracee Ellis Ross, kept it short and to the point. Even the winners were more entertaining, perhaps because they were in the comforts of their own homes, which personalized them more than usual. I could\u2019ve done without the political posturing from some of the winners \u2014 but that was about the only familiar element in a very different telecast.<\/p>\n

You would have been forgiven for thinking you weren\u2019t watching Kimmel deliver a \u201cJimmy Kimmel Live\u201d monologue \u2014 firing off a string of one-liners without missing a beat. \u201cThe only thing I\u2019ll be producing when I\u2019m 98 is phlegm,\u201d he said, alluding to 2020 Emmy winner Norman Lear. On ABC being required to show the words \u201cSchitt\u2019s Creek\u201d to assuage the censors: \u201cJust in case you\u2019re wondering why network television is dead: HBO can show a blue penis, no problem.\u201d<\/p>\n

A couple of questions: How cool was that alpaca that Randall Park brought on stage? Why didn\u2019t Michael Douglas participate remotely from home (we only saw his photograph)? What the heck was up with Laverne Cox\u2019s weird presenter speech? On a personal note, I was happ<\/a>y to see an onstage appearance from underrated \u201cBarry\u201d co-star Anthony Carrigan (a\u2009k\u2009a NoHo Hank), who appeared with Kimmel as a very Russian-sounding \u201cDerek\u201d the postman: \u201cI started just before election day in 2016.\u201d Funny stuff from a funny guy.<\/p>\n

\u201cSchitt\u2019s Creek,\u201d as already noted, won big, and it was nice to hear Daniel Levy thank fellow nominee Issa Rae (HBO\u2019s \u201cInsecure\u201d). Very gracious. Levy on his many awards: \u201cThe Internet is about to turn on me, I\u2019m so sorry.\u201d The major \u201cSchitt\u2019s Creek\u201d players were together, social<\/a>ly distanced, making it sweeter for father-and-son Eugene and Daniel to win their Emmys. Daniel was visibly emotional; Annie Murphy was wearing the sideways \u201cA\u201d necklace she wore as ditzy Alexis Rose. Nice touch, as were the everyday people \u2014 a schoolteacher in Florida, a UPS guy, a rancher in Montana, a truck driver, two physicians \u2014 reading the nominees in several categories.<\/p>\n

HBO\u2019s \u201cWatchmen\u201d also walked away with an armful of Emmys, which is no surprise given both its social timeliness and its success earlier this week at the Creative Arts Emmys. The network\u2019s other show, \u201cSuccession,\u201d also took home awards for Outstanding Drama and Lead Actor (Jeremy Strong).<\/p>\n

Billy Crudup\u2019s late-in-the-telecast Emmy for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series was nice, but fell short of what Apple TV+ had hoped for its flagship drama, \u201cThe Morning Show\u201d (Jennifer Aniston and Steve Carrell also came up short).<\/p>\n

Kimmel mentioned Friday\u2019s passing of Ruth Bader Ginsburg to segue into the annual \u201cIn Memoriam\u201d segment, which led off with Regis Philbin \u2014 appropriate, since Reege logged more hours on television than any other person in the history of the medium (surpassing Hugh Downs, who also died this year and who was noted in the segment). It hit all the right notes and, as far as I can tell, there were no egregious omissions. I think it would have been more powerful, though, with just orchestral accompanime<\/a>nt (instead of having H.E.R. sing along with photos of those who passed). It\u2019s a minor quibble, but perhaps something to note for next year.<\/p>\n

All in all, Sunday night\u2019s telecast overcame huge technical and emotional obstacles, and many naysayers (\u201cNo way they can pull that off\u201d), to present one of the most entertaining Emmys shows in recent memory \u2014 and, in the process, set a high bar for succeeding televised awards shows that will follow during these COVID-restricted times.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
