Review: Strangest Emmys ever? Sure, but surprising, intimate and delightful too
LA TimesGood or bad, there was no way the 72nd Emmy Awards, which went on Sunday from the Staples Center in Los Angeles and living rooms around the country and beyond, wasn’t going to be interesting. That isn’t to say that every joke worked, and latency does make shtick difficult to do remotely, but the telecast, which mixed live and recorded pieces, felt solid enough to accommodate the occasional technical difficulty. The evening began with a sort of feint, with host Jimmy Kimmel coming on to canned applause and delivering jokes to star-studded reaction shots flown in from Emmy broadcasts of years past. Jennifer Aniston, nominated for “The Morning Show,” joined him in presenting the evening’s first award — for comedy actress, won by Catherine O’Hara, beginning the “Schitt’s Creek” sweep of the first hour.
