The 2020 Emmy Awards took place on Sept. 20 with Jimmy Kimmel hosting the virtual show. This year’s Emmys was unlike any other, with the celebs taking part from home due to the COVID-19 pandemic. While the stars weren’t able to walk the red carpet, the night was still very exciting as the best television performances of the year were celebrated.
Going into the 2020 Emmys, Watchmen led with a whopping 26 nominations, more than any other series. Netflix earned a record 160 nominations. The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel wasn’t far behind Watchmen with 20 nominations. Ozark and Succession both got 18 nominations. Jennifer Aniston, who was also an Emmy nominee, was on hand at the Staples Center with her close pal Jimmy to present the very first award: Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series. Despite the unconventional situation, Jennifer and Jimmy had a lot of fun — while social distancing, of course.
