Much like everything else in 2020, this year’s Emmys ceremony is fully nuts. The whole shebang is a socially distant, virtual affair with host Jimmy Kimmel delivering jokes to an audience of one DJ and a scattered assortment of presenters (all standing six feet away). To get the celebs on your TV, though, the Emmys sent out over a hundred camera kits to 100 celeb homes so they can broadcast from wherever they are to wherever you’re watching. But, you may ask, what about the statues??
No, the Emmy producers didn’t include a statue in every kit alongside a tripod and ring light. Instead, winners get their trophies handed to them by an Emmy “intern” in a dapper hazmat suit. Seriously. That’s the vibe of 2020—people in hazmat suits handing over trophies to celebs on live TV
And what happens when you don’t win? Uh… it’s every bit as creepy as you’d expect—if not more so! Here’s what the star of Hulu’s Ramy, Ramy Youssef, tweeted after he lost his award to Eugene Levy of Schitt’s Creek.
No, that’s not a shot from a horror movie—unless you consider all of 2020 an epic, constantly unfolding horror show… which it kinda is? But yeah—the Emmys really did send real people with real Emmys to real homes all across… the world?? These Emmys are fully extra and also a bit creepy.
