The Emmys - the 72nd edition of the Primetime Emmy Awards - witnessed HBO satire Succession win the Outstanding Drama Series award. Succession also fetched the Outstanding Actor, (Drama) Award for Jeremy Strong and Outstanding Direction and Writing (Drama) awards. Netflix sitcom Schitt's Creek, which had 15 nominations, swept the comedy category with all of the seven top prizes. Eugene Levy won Outstanding Actor (Comedy) for the show while Catherine O'Hara won Outstanding Actress (Comedy). Schitt's Creek fetched Eugene Levy's son Daniel Levy the Outstanding Director, Writer and Supporting Actor prizes. Meanwhile, Watchmen, which had the highest number of nominations with 26 nods, took the prize home for Outstanding Limited Series.
