Emmy Awards 2020: Photos from the coronavirus affected at-home event
The 72nd annual Primetime Emmy Awards happened in Los Angeles on Sunday, Sept. 20, with Jimmy Kimmel as the host at Staples Center.
It was the first of the major awards shows to happen during the coronavirus pandemic.
While Kimmel was at Staples Center, nominees joined the telecast online via webcam.
There wasn’t a red carpet this year, but those stars who did show up to present had a drive-up coronavirus test.
