Not only did Schitt’s Creek make history tonight by being the first Comedy Series in Emmy history to win each of the four major awards and Best Comedy Series in the same year, they also broke Mrs. Maisel’s 2018 and 2019 record of eight wins each of the previous two years.
Schitt’s Creek’s wins include: Best Comedy Series, Best Actor in a Comedy Series (Eugene Levy), Best Actress in a Comedy Series (Catherine O’Hara), Best Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series (Daniel Levy), Best Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series (Annie Murphy), Best Directing for a Comedy Series (Andrew Cividino and Daniel Levy), Best Writing for a Comedy Series (Daniel Levy), as well as two technical awards Best Casting for a Comedy Series (Jon Comerford and Lisa Parasyn) and Best Contemporary Costumes (Darci Cheyne and Debra Hanson) which were awarded at the Creative Arts Emmy celebrations last week.
Oh and all those statuettes secured Dan Levy an elite spot alongside Making a Murderer’s EP/Director Moira Demos and Maisel’s Writer/Director Amy Sherman-Palladino as the only three individuals to win four Emmys for their work on a series in a single year. What’s more, Levy is the only comedy series Creator, Writer, Director and Star to win four Emmys in a single year.
