"Why would you have an award show in the middle of a pandemic?" Jimmy Kimmel asks rows of empty seats at the Staples Center as the Emmy Award kicked off Sunday.
The tongue-and-cheek opener from veteran host Kimmel promises viewers a 72nd Emmy awards show like no other.
"No, seriously, why are we having an award show in the middle of a pandemic?" he asks as the team at ABC intercuts reaction shots and track laughter from previous Emmy ceremonies. "...What is happening tonight is not important. It's not going to stop Covid. It's not going to put out the fires. But it's fun and right now we need fun. My God do we need fun. This has been a miserable year. This has been a year of division, injustice, disease, Zoom school, disaster and death."
The event doesn't have an audience or a red carpet. Instead, nominees have been sent their own camera kit to broadcast live from their living rooms as Hollywood doles out trophies to TV's top talent in the first major entertainment industry ceremony since the coronavirus pandemic began.
Pop TV darling "Schitt's Creek" got off to a strong start with Catherine O'Hara and Eugene Levy taking home the awards for best lead actress and best lead actress in a comedy series. Dan Levy and Annie Murphy won for best supporting actor and best supporting actress in a comedy.
Dan Levy took home the top prize for writing for a comedy series. He also won the award for best direction of a comedy alongside Andrew Cividino.
"Schitt's Creek," which aired its sixth and final season earlier this year, previously had not won any Emmy awards for the show. During the Creative Arts Emmys earlier this week, the show took home awards for best casting and best contemporary costuming.
ABC is presenting winners with Emmy trophies by sending people in tuxedo hazmat suits to nominees' homes.
