Emmys — 72nd Emmys

What to Know

Critics Consensus

What could go right? Apparently just enough to make the 72nd Annual Emmy Awards - the first and hopefully last PandEmmys - an entertaining, unusually comforting night of mostly pleasant surprises.

Melanie McFarland Salon.com Any Emmys that's remarkable for running smoothly can be considered a win Sep 25, 2020 Full Review Karl Quinn Sydney Morning Herald For mine, the big winner on the night was the awards themselves. In Jimmy Kimmel, the event had the consummate host, equally capable of delivering what's scripted as he is of deviating as circumstances demand. Sep 24, 2020 Full Review Matthew Gilbert Boston Globe After each Emmy was presented and the winner had had his or her moment, we returned to each of the nominees. That meant the losing nominees had to hold in their disappointment at home long enough to return for a small reprise. I felt their pain. Sep 23, 2020 Full Review Rob Owen Pittsburgh Tribune-Review The remotely-produced 72nd annual Emmy Awards promised to be an unusual, revised-for-the-pandemic affair and it miraculously came together with almost no technical glitches and enough novelty to freshen and loosen up the staid format. Sep 28, 2020 Full Review Dustin Rowles Pajiba Three shows basically dominated the Emmys. To their credit, they were three very deserving shows, and so far ahead of most of the other shows in their respective categories that there is very little about which to complain. Sep 21, 2020 Full Review Kristi Turnquist Oregonian While some bits fell flat, by the time it was over, this unconventional Emmy show ultimately felt lighter and more down to earth than the traditional extravaganza.
