This year’s Emmy Awards ceremony was unlike any other, with Jimmy Kimmel hosting the show in an empty studio with nominees and presenters tuning in live from home. That didn’t stop the Emmys from being the best kind of weird, and these five moments really stole the show.

Schitt’s Sweep

Schitt’s Creek swept this year’s Emmys and became the first comedy series to sweep the four main acting categories in one year, in addition to being the most-awarded comedy in a single year when we take Creative Emmys into the account.

HBO Triumph

HBO was also one of the biggest winners of the night, with Succession and Watchmen winning four awards each. Both shows do a great job capturing the current social climate, and the creative mastermind behind them delivered some of the best acceptance speeches of the night.

Zendaya’s Victory

Zendaya made Emmys history as the youngest lead actress drama winner with her role in Euphoria, and her reaction was a true delight.

“Friends” Reunion

Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, and Lisa Kudrow joined forces at this year’s Emmy Awards, and their reunion got everyone talking.

Hazmat Suit Presenters

The list of famous presenters at this year’s Emmys was pretty much endless, but the ceremony will be remembered by the staff members who delivered the trophies in themed Hazmat suits.

The Emmy Awards are less than two weeks away, and TV experts are pretty certain who’s going to win the most prestigious prizes of the night. TV shows about entitled, wealthy families are expected to lead the way, with Succession and Schitt’s Creek being clear favorites in drama and comedy categories.

Awards prediction website Gold Derby asked two dozens experts to share their thoughts about this year’s Emmy race, and most of them agree Succession will walk away with the top prize. The second season of the HBO drama about a dysfunctional global-media family was met with universal acclaim, and Ozark is the only show that could possibly pull the rug from under its feet.

When it comes to the award for the best comedy series, it’s a close race between Schitt’s Creek and The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. The Canadian sitcom about the trials and tribulations of the formerly wealthy Rose family is expected to walk out as the winner, in addition to potently winning several awards in acting categories.

HBO’s Watchmen is a clear favorite in the limited series categories, with Mrs. America and Unbelievable trailing right behind. Regina King is expected to take the best actress award, but the race for the best actor in the limited series is extremely close and it will be one of the most unpredictable of the night.

There’s a lot of mystery surrounding the ceremony itself due to its virtual format. It will be held on September 20th, with Jimmy Kimmel serving as a host.

Ever since Game of Thrones wrapped up last year, HBO fans have been on the lookout for the next epic show that will replace it. Now that the network’s highly-anticipated horror series Lovecraft Country is here, we can finally know if it will possibly follow the footsteps of HBO’s biggest smash hit?

Lovecraft Country takes place in the city that supposedly served as a location for many fictional tales of the famous horror writer H. P. Lovecraft. It follows a young black man traveling across the segregated United States back in the 1950s in search of his missing father.

Lovecraft Country created a lot of buzz since its premiere on August 16th, and it has the potential to become HBO’s next big hit. Just like Game of Thrones, it’s based on a popular fantasy novel, and HBO set aside a huge budget to make it happen, but could it be just as successful?

J. J. Abrams and Jordan Peele are producing this show alongside showrunner Misha Green, so it’s pretty obvious that HBO has another hit at hand, but it’s its own thing. It’s primarily aimed at horror fans, so it’s highly unlikely it will become a global phenomenon like Game of Thrones, but that’s not stopping it from receiving praise and having impressive ratings, similar to Watchmen.
