Emmy Awards: dit waren de beste series van afgelopen jaar

Zondagnacht vonden de Emmy Awards plaats, de Oscars op televisiegebied. De grote winnaar? Schitt’s Creek, een Canadese sitcom die met zijn meest recente seizoen maar liefst negen Emmy’s wist te scoren.

Een titel die je overigens bekend kan voorkomen. Tot vorig jaar stond de sitcom namelijk ook gewoon op de Nederlandse Netflix. Sindsdien moeten we het helaas met geïmporteerde DVD’s doen…

Emmy Awards

Schitt’s Creek gaat over een filmmagnaat die zijn complete vermogen verliest nadat zijn bedrijf failliet gaat. Hij trekt met zijn familie in een motel dat in Schitt’s Creek staat.

Een klein stadje dat ze ooit als halve grap hebben gekocht. Opeens moeten ze zien te overleven in twee vervallen hotelkamers, terwijl ze juist eindeloze luxe gewend waren.

ABC stuntte door met oude beelden net te doen alsof er echt publiek in de zaal zat:

Schitt’s Creek scoort

Hoofdrolspeler Eugene Levy kon afgelopen nacht de Emmy voor beste mannelijke hoofdrol in ontvangst nemen. Catherine O’Hare, zijn tegenspeelster, kreeg de Emmy voor beste vrouwelijke hoofdrolspeler.

Sterker nog, de serie heeft alle zeven Emmy’s in de categorie comedy gewonnen. Zelfs megaseries als Modern Family en Frasier hebben dat nog nooit voor elkaar gekregen.

Een opvallende prestatie, gezien de Amazon Prime Video-serie The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel maar liefst twintig keer genomineerd was. Daarvan wist de comedy er echter maar twee te verzilveren.

HBO domineert met Watchmen

De grote winnaar van de avond was echter, opnieuw, HBO. De superheldenserie Watchmen heeft namelijk in totaal maar liefst elf Emmy’s gekregen. Ook de Emmy voor beste limited series ging naar die show, terwijl de verwachting was dat Netflix Original Unorthodox die prijs in de wacht zou gaan slepen.

Ook leuk om te melden: Apple TV+ won zijn eerste Emmy met de dramaserie The Morning Show. Billy Crudup kreeg een Emmy voor zijn bijrol.

De eindstand: Netflix laat het afweten

De eindstand? HBO is zonder twijfel de grote winnaar van dit jaar. Het bedrijf heeft in totaal dertig Emmy’s gescoord. Op de tweede plaats staat Netflix, met 21 beeldjes. En dat terwijl Netflix juist het recordaantal van 160 nominaties aan had getikt. Onderaan de streep blijft daar echter weinig van over.
