Emmy Awards 2020 highlights: Watchmen is best limited series, Schitt’s Creek is best comedy

While the Emmys may not have been as grand an affair this year due to the coronavirus pandemic, celebrities still put their best food forward as they dressed up for the virtual event.

The 72nd Emmy Awards at the Staples Centre in Los Angeles opened to an empty stadium, occupied by host Jimmy Kimmel along with cardboard cutouts of celebrities and a handful present at the venue.

There was no physical audience for the three-hour show broadcast live on ABC. Instead, producers had sent camera kits and microphones to all the nominees.

Several celebrities took to social media to share a glimpse of their dresses for the first major award show after the pandemic.

Priyanka Chopra shared a ‘glambot’ video of herself from the 2016 awards ceremony. “Good luck to all the nominees this evening! #throwback #Emmys,” she wrote with the video.
