Schitt's Creek was a massive winner at the Primetime Emmys, picking up the first seven awards of Sunday's virtual ceremony.

All four stars, Eugene Levy, Catherine O'Hara, Daniel Levy, and Annie Murphy, claimed the comedy acting honours, while the show was also named Outstanding Comedy Series.

The show previously landed two gongs at the Creative Arts Emmy Awards last week, taking its 2020 tally to nine.

The cast and crew gathered for dinner in Canada, where they celebrated the wins virtually.

Watchmen was the overall Emmy champ, adding four more wins to its 2020 Emmys collection on Sunday - to take its tally to 11. The graphic novel adaptation claimed seven Creative Arts Emmys last week and swept the honours for Limited Series or Movie.

Co-stars Regina King and Yahya Abdul-Mateen II picked up acting honours and the show was also named Outstanding Limited Series or Movie.

Tyler Perry was also a big winner, landing the Emmys Governors Award. Oprah Winfrey and Chris Rock paid tribute to the "game changer" and "maverick".

And it was a good night for hit drama Succession, which picked up the Outstanding Drama Series, while star Jeremy Strong was named the Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series among its four-award haul.

All nominees were beamed in to the show, hosted by Jimmy Kimmel at an empty Staples Center in Los Angeles, from their homes around the world, while some celebrities, including Jennifer Aniston, Cynthia Erivo, Zendaya, and Jason Sudeikis, joined Kimmel to announce the winners, many of which were handed their Emmys by family members after interns personally delivered them.
