Unlike previous years, the Emmys 2020 has ditched the usual star-studded red carpet and awards ceremony at the Staples Center in Los Angeles for a virtual ceremony, on account of the coronavirus pandemic. Instead, nominees were sent a kit -- a camera, laptop, ring light, and microphone -- so that they can broadcast themselves from their homes, or wherever they are stationed.
Jimmy Kimmel, who hosts the show this year, shared a video of himself with a giant bubble hours before going live from the Staples Center. “I’m fully-laminated and ready to host the #Emmys LIVE tonight at 8e|5p on #ABC!,” he wrote on Instagram. It has been an exciting night, and 'Schitts Creek' fans were beside themselves with joy as they won over 7 awards for their comedy show.
