The 72nd annual handout of the Primetime Emmy Awards happened on Sunday the 20th of September 2020. The award handout from the most important television awards was called a hybrid virtual ceremony and was presented by Jimmy Kimmel. In total, 140 cameras were placed in the houses of the stars. Jimmy Kimmel sat in a room on his own and the red carpet wasn't rolled out. These were all measurements that were taken due to the coronavirus. It is the third time for Kimmel (Jimmy Kimmel Live) to present these awards, but it never looked like this before. Kimmel said that this might be the Emmy Awards with the worst ratings or that it could very well be the best-watched one the night before the ceremony.
HBO and Netflix went into this evening after winning nineteen awards after the Create Arts Emmy Awards. The Mandalorian and Watchmen (2019) each won seven Creative Arts Emmys. This was followed by Saturday Night Live (six), RuPaul's Drag Race (five) and The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel (four).
In the end, HBO was able to take home 30 of the famous statues and Netflix 21. PopTV, Disney+ and NBC respectively won 10, 8 and 8 statues. Watchemn (2019) is the biggest winner with eleven awards in total. Schitt's Creek, Succession, The Mandalorian and RuPaul's Drag Race have respectively won 9, 7, 7 and 6 awards. Saturday Night Live remained at six awards.
