It’s a Rose family reunion at the Emmy Awards, where Schitt’s Creek has swept the comedy categories. In an outpouring of respect and love for the final season, every member of the Rose family (Catherine O’Hara, Eugene Levy, Daniel Levy, and Annie Murphy) won their acting category. The series also picked up Best Writing, Best Direction, and Best Comedy series to complete their domination. Schitt’s Creek had a total of 15 nominations this year, with two wins coming early this week at the Creative Arts Emmys. This represents a historic moment: the first time any series, comedy or drama, has swept the acting categories at the Emmys. It is also the most wins in one year for a comedy series.
Despite the event being held virtually due to COVID-19, the Schitt’s Creek cast and crew gathered in Toronto after having negative tests for the virus to celebrate.
