Some of the biggest names in TV were honored at the 72nd Primetime Emmy Awards tonight.

Regina King won the Emmy for lead actress in a limited series or movie for her performance on the HBO show. Her co-star Yahya Abdul-Mateen II received the supporting actor in limited series or movie award for his work on "Watchmen."

"Schitt's Creek" swept all major comedy categories, winning the first seven awards during the telecast, including best comedy series. The show won a total of nine Emmys.

Daniel Levy won the awards for writing, directing and supporting actor in a comedy series during the 2020 Emmys. His co-stars Catherine O'Hara, Eugene Levy and Annie Murphy also each won in their respective categories.

The Jimmy Kimmel-hosted show was virtual, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, a first for the Television Academy. State-of-the-art cameras were sent to nominees in advance, in order for your favorite stars to make appearances and accept awards on the telecast.

"Succession," which was up for 18 nominations, won seven Emmy Awards, including best drama series. Jeremy Strong won the award for lead actor in a drama series for his role on the show, Jesse Armstrong won the writing award for the drama series and Andrij Parekh won for best director.
