Watchmen, Zendaya, and Schitt's Creek are among the winners and history makers at the 2020 Emmys, with the last of them emerging as the biggest winner on the night with seven awards to its name. That included best comedy series and all four acting departments for Eugene Levy, Catherine O'Hara, Dan Levy, and Annie Murphy, with Dan Levy also picking up the writing and directing awards. Zendaya became the youngest actress ever to win the best lead actress in a drama series, while Watchmen is the first comic book property to nab a top award (best limited series).

HBO was the clear winner on the night with 11 the record setter with 160 nominations (the most ever), but it didn't end up winning the most. If you do the same totalling for shows, Watchmen is the leader with 11 Emmys, four of which were awarded on Sunday.
