Schitt’s Creek nine total wins for its sixth and final season breaks the record of eight that Amazon’s The Marvelous Mrs Maisel in 2018 and matched in 2019 Schitt’s Creek, the little Canadian show about a fish-out-of-water family, made history at Sunday’s Emmy Awards with a comedy awards sweep. With Catherine O'Hara, Eugene Levy, Dan Levy and Annie Murphy winning their #Emmys tonight, that means our little Canadian show is the first comedy OR drama to ~ever~ sweep all four acting categories, and that is absolutely wild 🇨🇦 pic.twitter.com/fEUnaLoDBr — Schitt's Creek September 21, 2020 Schitt’s Creek broke a slew of records by becoming the first comedy to win all four main acting awards in one year, and also became the most awarded comedy in a single year, according to Gold Derby. While accepting several awards Sunday via video-chat for their hit comedy series, the cast and crew of the Schitt’s Creek celebrated together — in masks — from a beautifully decorated venue in Toronto. “I also want to thank, once again, this young man who took our fish-out-of-water story about the Rose family and transformed it into a celebration of inclusivity, a castigation of homophobia, and a declaration of the power of love.” Watch the speech here “I’ll forever be grateful to Eugene and Daniel Levy for giving me the opportunity to play a woman of a certain age, my age, who gets to be fully her ridiculous self,” said O’Hara, handed the night’s first statuette for best comedy actress by a presenter in a hazmat suit.
