Emmys 2020 recap: The best and worst moments from this year’s unusual show

Jimmy Kimmel is back in the studio to film his show Jimmy Kimmel Live after a short summer vacation and he’s opening up about the Emmys 2020! The 52-year-old host opened up about the “weirdest” part of hosting the virtual Emmy Awards while giving his opening monologue on Monday (September 21). “The weirdest part of hosting this show was when it was over, there are usually parties and everyone is carrying their Emmy around.

2020 Emmy Awards were definitely a unique experience for nominees and viewers alike — and a unique challenge for production staff!With most winners accepting their awards from home -- and host Jimmy Kimmel leading the socially-distanced show with a few presenters in person at the Staples Center in downtown Los Angeles — the Emmys came up with a safe way to deliver the statuettes to the winners without spoiling the outcomes.

misinterpreting the word “upset” in our reporting on her surprise triumph over the likes of Jennifer Aniston and Laura Linney.But it also nearly burned down the venue, LA’s Staples Center.Host Jimmy Kimmel, 52, did a bit with Aniston, 51, where they sprayed an envelope with Lysol and set it on fire to “sanitize it.” Although they had an extinguisher, the fire failed to go out the way it did when they practiced in rehearsals, according to co-head writer of “Jimmy Kimmel Live” Molly McNearney, who

record low of 6.9 million, according to TV Line. With few surprises — save for “Euphoria’s” Zendaya’s shocking upset in the Best Actress in a Drama category — and an uneven array of best and worst moments, returning host Jimmy Kimmel and the pandemic-sidelined virtual victors were unable to stop the ratings slide from 2019.

2020 Emmys offered a teachable moment for Zendaya fans, who were apparently confused by the meaning of “upset.”The 24-year-old’s surprise victory for her portrayal of Rue Bennett in HBO’s “Euphoria” over acting vets Jennifer Aniston, Laura Linney, Olivia Colman, Jodie Comer and Sandra Oh left groupies shocked — over the New York Post’s tweet announcing Zendaya’s Lead Actress in a Drama Series win.“Biggest upset: Zendaya wins Emmys 2020 over Jennifer Aniston, Laura Linney,” read The Post’s tweet,

Friends star Jennifer Aniston gave fans a look inside her preparation for the2020 Emmy Awards, which happened virtually from around the world yesterday! All of the nominees appeared from home and ABC sent out over 100 high-def cameras to celebs all around the globe to make sure the show looks as good as possible.  Jennifer was nominated for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series for her work on The Morning Show, which marked her seventh nomination and she has won once in the past for her

here, and a breakdown of the ceremony here.However, the awards themselves were only part of what made the night such an odd delight.

Watchmen, Succession and Schitt's Creek were among the big winners at the 2020 Primetime Emmy Awards.Zendaya and Mark Ruffalo were also among those receiving trophies at home in this year's ceremony, hosted by Jimmy Kimmel from the Staples Center in Los Angeles with video links to winners' homes (or, in some cases, the set of their shows).Watchmen had scored the most nominations of any show this year with 26, taking home 11 across Sunday's show and the Creative Arts Emmys, including the Best

The 2020 Emmy Awards were telecast live on Sunday in an unprecedented virtual ceremony, but it doesn't mean the guests didn't come prepared for their at-home red carpet appearances.The 72nd Emmy Awards hit the virtual stage on Sunday night with Jimmy Kimmel hosting from an empty theatre and more than 130 cameras spread out around the globe.

Emmy Awards are normally a time for glitz, glamour and a little bit of fashion fun on the red carpet.But for this year’s awards, everything looks a lot different ― much like the rest of the world ― and most of the nominees showed off their outfits and Emmys prep from home. Some,  Zendaya, slayed in full glam, while others ― such as The Good Place actor Jameela Jamil ― kept it absolutely real in PJs.Jennifer Aniston gave a nod toward the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, showing fans her “other” mask

When the Emmys 2020 nominations were announced, fans were hoping that another Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt reunion would take place. Aniston received a nomination for Outstanding Lead Actress In A Drama Series for The Morning Show whereas Pitt bagged Outstanding Guest Actor In A Comedy Series nomination for his guest role as Dr Anthony Fauci on Saturday Night Live.

In what was a tough category to predict who would be the definitive winner; Mark Ruffalo won his first acting Emmy at the recently held Emmys 2020 as he took home the award for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Limited Series or Movie.

Zendaya has won the award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series at the 2020 Primetime Emmy Awards.The Euphoria star beat off competition from The Morning Show’s Jennifer Aniston, The Crown’s Olivia Colman, Killing Eve’s Jodie Comer, Ozark’s Laura Linney and Killing Eve’s Sandra Oh  to win the award.As she accepted the prize, she said: "This is pretty crazy… “I just want to say to all my peers out there, I admire you and I thank you.”This year’s proceedings took place virtually for the

72nd Annual Primetime Emmy Awards?Sunday night’s first-ever virtual Emmys telecast went off with nary a hitch — and was transformed into a celebration of “Schitt’s Creek,” the Canadian-produced Pop TV sitcom that sailed away on an ocean of statuettes across several major categories — including awards for stars Catherine O’Hara, Eugene Levy, Daniel Levy and Annie Murphy (“Boop!”). Job well done for a series that deserved all the accolades.

Emmys 2020 was underway just a while back and it was an exciting night for television lovers; albeit it was a virtual ceremony. However, funnyman Jimmy Kimmel adapted to the new ceremony setup sportingly and brought in the laughs while also getting some help from his actor friends.

Host Jimmy Kimmel didn’t mince words with his audience. Conducting a live Emmys telecast during a global pandemic is pretty frivolous.

2020 Emmys is Zendaya.The 24-year old actress won the coveted award for Lead Actress in a Drama series, for her role as troubled teen drug addict Rue in HBO’s controversial show “Euphoria.”She’s the youngest and least experienced nominee in this year’s competitive category of industry-heavy hitters, each of whom were more expected.

Emmys to make tired pandemic jokes.The star of “Black-ish,” 50, joined host Jimmy Kimmel in-person (socially distanced) for the 2020 Emmys to read the nominees for Best Limited Series and present HBO’s “Watchmen” with the award.Before reading the winner, Anderson, who often brings his mom along on his Hollywood gigs, did an extended and gravely serious bit with no comedy involved.“We have a record of black Emmy nominees this year, which is great,” he said.

72nd Primetime Emmys looked very different this year, offering an unexpected peek inside many celebrity homes, the location where many nominees and winners were at during the ceremony. Rachel Brosnahan, star of, made an appearance with her adorable pooch, whose bowtie matched her chic loungewear-inspired look.
