The Emmys lined up dozens of live feeds from nominees in locations all over the world, but it turns out the only one they needed was in Toronto: In its sixth and final season, “Schitt’s Creek” swept the comedy category on Sunday night, taking home seven wins at the 72nd Primetime Emmy Awards. The show won a total of nine Emmys this year, the most ever for a comedy in a single year. Catherine O’Hara kicked things off with the first acting Emmy win of her career for her role as the fan favorite, wig-obsessed diva Moira Rose. “This is so cool,” O’Hara said as she accepted her statuette in a sequined black dress and matching mask from a Rose-filled party in Toronto. “I will forever be grateful to Eugene and Daniel Levy for the opportunity to play a woman of a certain age — my age — who gets to fully be her ridiculous self.”
