'Schitt's Creek' Just Made History at the 2020 Emmys
BOOP! Schitt's Creek has made history tonight at the 72nd Emmy Awards as the first show to ever sweep all seven main comedy categories.
This means the entire Rose family earned awards for their stunning performances, and IYKYK how big of a deal that is for our favorite matriarch Moira:
MOIRA GOT HER EMMY!!!

Weirdly, this is exactly how I imagine Moira would have won an Emmy in a pitch-perfect season finale from an alternate timeline pic.twitter.com/rLlc3jCzv7

In just one of his many acceptance speeches, creator and star Dan Levy said, "Our show at its core is about the transformational effects of love and acceptance, and that is something that we need more of now than we've ever needed before. I just wanted to say, for any of you who have not registered to vote, please do so and then go out and vote because that is the only way that we're going to have some love and acceptance out there. Please do that. I'm so sorry for making this political, but I had to."
The first SEVEN #Emmys of the night have gone to "Schitt's Creek"!
The stars of "Schitt's Creek" have won all four major acting categories.

This scene alone of Catherine O'Hara in Schitt's Creek should have won every comedy award in existence. pic.twitter.com/hmMxeAW1fm

(Annie Murphy's Alexis has long been the best and most underrated performance on Schitt's Creek, pass it on)
