Schitt's Creek recently wrapped up its sixth and final season, but the show has most certainly gone out on top. Last night (September 20), the series won a historic nine Emmys, winning top honours in every comedy category.
The socially distanced night was hosted by Jimmy Kimmel and kicked off with Schitt's stars Catherine O'Hara and Eugene Levy each winning an award. From there, Annie Murphy and Dan Levy each took awards for their performances in the show. Dan also won awards for comedy writing and best director of a comedy series.
Finally, the show won Outstanding Comedy Series, Outstanding Contemporary Costumes and Outstanding Casting for a Comedy Series.
Kimmel joked that the group was almost eligible to bring the Stanley Cup back to Canada. "If they'd won one more Emmy, they would have been able to trade them in for this," Kimmel said, holding up a fake Stanley Cup. "But they didn't, so we're going to keep it here for another 27 years."
The celebrations for Schitt's continued all night and spilled over onto social media today, with friend of the show Mariah Carey even offering her congrats:
By sheer fact that it's not a drama nor a live-action TV show, Schitt's Creek didn't win every single award of the night. You can see a list of the major winners down below, while the full list of 2020 Emmy winners can be found here.
