Father-and-son performers Eugene and Dan Levy injected a good dose of Canadian politeness into the Emmy Awards as they took the reins with an opening monologue that riffed on their family dynamic.
The stars and co-creators of CBC's"Schitt's Creek" said it was a"cruel joke" that two Canadians were put in charge of playing actors off during their acceptance speeches.
Several Canadians were competing Sunday for trophies, including Toronto's D’Pharaoh Woon-A-Tai of"Reservation Dogs" and Hamilton's Martin Short of “Only Murders in the Building," who both lost the best comedy actor award to Jeremy Allen White of"The Bear." The Levys swept the 2020 Emmys when “Schitt’s Creek” claimed the best comedy trophy and they each earned acting trophies, while Dan also scooped hardware for writing and directing.
