Emmys 2020: Andrew Cividino and Daniel Levy win Outstanding Director for a Comedy Series for 'Schitt's Creek'

Even though the pandemic has stopped many productions around the world, one of the entertainment's biggest nights, the 72nd annual Emmy Awards is still a highlight — with social distancing in mind of course. Host Jimmy Kimmel records from Downtown Los Angeles as nominees, presenters and the winners are cut to during the virtual event.
With 'Schitt's Creek' having bagged three awards in the comedy category already — Outstanding Comedy Actress, Outstanding Comedy Actor, and Comedy Writing — this doesn't come as a surprise.
Andrew Cividino and Daniel Levy have bagged the award in the category of Outstanding director for a comedy series and were presented the award by Kimmel himself. They won for 'Schitt's Creek' episode titled 'Happy Ending'. These wins for the series is a very deserving one, and many are glad that the show is getting recognized to an extreme this year. It seems that there is no beating 'Schitt's Creek' which is now in the lead of bagging the most Primetime Emmys this year.
'Schitt's Creek' is a Candian television sitcom from creator father-son duo Dan and Eugene Levy. It follows the Rose family, who lose their fortune after becoming victims of fraud. Having originally aired in 2015, the series has garnered enough of a fan base who have supported the series for years now.
The category had impressive nominations, from 'Modern Family' to the 'The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel', but we have to say that while the directors Andrew Cividino and Daniel Levy may have not seen that award coming, 'Schitt's Creek' deserves to win all the awards it was nominated for tonight. The series directors won the award for Outstanding Director for a comedy series, for 'Happy Ending', Episode 14, and the finale of the series' Season 6.
