CELEBRITIES HONORED WITH PRESTIGIOUS CIVIL AWARDS ON PAKISTAN DAY
- 30 Mar - 05 Apr, 2024
It's time for the 2020 Emmys. The pandemic forced the Emmy Awards to stage a largely virtual event. With the pandemic making packed red carpets and large, glitzy gatherings impossible, almost no one knew what the 72nd Primetime Emmy Awards ceremony would look like going into Sunday night’s telecast. Turns out it reflected what much of life has looked like for the past six months or so: People sequestered in their homes, interacting awkwardly over broadband connections. Along the way, there were awards show hallmarks, like a monologue from a tuxedoed host (albeit in a mostly empty arena), some stilted banter, bits that fell flat and a few moments of genuine poignancy. But in general, the 2020 Emmys did the best it could under extraordinarily challenging circumstances. It was a disorienting opener for disorienting times. Jimmy Kimmel, the ceremony’s host, initially seemed to be delivering a fairly routine opening monologue, with pauses for laughter and cuts to the star-studded audience. Schitt’s Creek broke the record with seven Primetime awards and nine Emmys in total in the comedy categories, and Succession took home five awards, including best drama series. Also, Zendaya made history by becoming the youngest winner for best lead actress in a drama for her role in Euphoria. It was a funny, final acknowledgment of how profoundly life has been disrupted this year and, as such, was probably the best possible conclusion for the 2020 Emmy Awards.
