72nd Emmy Awards – Winners

This years Emmy Awards was always going to be very different, as it was delayed and then done virtually due to the Corona Virus pandemic.

However, the awards themselves were incredibly straight forward and mostly as we expected with three (mostly deserving) shows sweeping across the board. I thought it was great to see how ‘Watchmen’ deserving got its rewards and the best moment of the night was the incredible Zendaya becoming the youngest ever best actress winner.

The full winners of the major awards are below, and if you compare these to my predictions just before the ceremony, I managed to get 10/16 which is a solid effort I think.
