Emmy Awards 2020: 10 Best and Worst Moments, From Essential Workers to Kimmel’s Faux Crowd (Photos)

With the 2020 Emmy Awards in the can, here are some of the highs and lows of this year’s virtual awards show.

Worst: Jimmy Kimmel’s Opening Monologue in Front of (obviously) Pre-Taped Crowd. We didn’t need Kimmel to pull the bait-and-switch with his opening monologue at the end to know that the “crowd” wasn’t actually there.

Best: ‘Schitt’s Creek’ Parties it up in Canada. While most winners accepted their awards at home in front of family, the cast of the Pop TV series (sans Annie Murphy) gathered together up in Canada, where they have a much better handle on the pandemic. It turned out to be a good thing, considering it won just about every single Comedy award.

Worst: The In-Person Presenters. A few presenters showed up in person, including Jennifer Aniston and Tracee Ellis-Ross. Don’t think there was too much social distancing going on in a bit that quickly went stale. (We’ll cheat a bit and say Anthony Carrigan showing up as “Barry’s” NoHo Hank, disguised as a mailman, was pretty great though.)

Worst: Kerry Washington and Reese Witherspoon Try to Ring in 2021 a Few Months Early. We get it, 2020 has been awful, but there’s still a few more months left. The bit came off a tad tasteless, considering so many have truly suffered this year.
