Catherine O'Hara accepts the award for outstanding lead actress in a comedy series for Schitt's Creek during the 72nd Emmy Awards broadcast. The small show about a rich family left with nothing but a small town reached the Emmy big time on Sunday night, taking the coveted trophy for best comedy series. The Canadian sitcom swept the comedy categories, winning seven Emmys for its sixth and final season. Eugene Levy won best actor, Catherine O’Hara won best actress, Annie Murphy won best supporting actress, and Levy’s son, Dan Levy, claimed three: for best supporting actor, writing and directing. They were the first seven Emmys handed out at Sunday’s unusual ceremony, and the gleeful, tearful cast was jubilant in their face masks and formalwear as they claimed Emmy after Emmy together at a Canadian pavilion.
