72nd Emmy Awards: Dan Levy Wins for Outstanding Writing for a Comedy Series

Dan Levy wins the Emmy for Outstanding Writing for a Comedy Series.

[@imalwaysright]

Dan Levy Emmy-winning writer, director, actor, and producer 4 Emmys baby!!!

[@CelesteKTheNewWaveRevue]

Don't forget Catherine and Eugene won their first Emmys for acting. They won an Emmy for writing SCTV and Uncle Milty was unimpressed by them. But Joe Flaherty had a comeback for everything that Milton Berle threw their way. 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂

[@seankoontz4235]

Whoa, Catherine and Eugene had NEVER won before for acting? That’s crazy. Well, they deserve it

[@CelesteKTheNewWaveRevue]

@@seankoontz4235 Nope, they never did win for acting until now. They got snubbed for four years until last year and then they got nominated but last year they lost. And before that, they won for writing SCTV.

[@CelesteKTheNewWaveRevue]

Hopefully Dan will be a 5 x Emmy winner since he's been nominated again this year for Outstanding Guest Actor for his stint on SNL.

[@DaBayToHawaiiNei]

Who’s here after finishing season 6 and watching the farewell special? I need more! I’m still crying.

[@ermipillai7170]

I cried hey

[@dee7106]

I did :)

[@anthonydavis3949]

Me too! Also, as of now, I’m rewatching the show.

[@yashweemadhuvarshinee8241]

Me tooo.. I have never cried this much in my entire life!!!!!!

[@desiatovaalex]

I am! Because of this ceremony i started watching Schitts Creek this year and now, after finishing all 6 seasons it's a whole new experience to watch them win! Also, i left the special for after rewatching Emmys, gonna cry indeed))

[@NewJerseyRaver]

He and the whole Schitts Creek team absolutely deserved to sweep the floor this year. I just finished watching the whole series last night on Netflix. This show is a treasure!

[@dr.braxygilkeycruises1460]

Daniel Levy gave a well deserved shout out to Issa Rae's Insecure. THIS is part of why I love him so much!!! 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗

[@wordeeone4996]

He’s a beautiful human.

[@zephyros9]

This is WONDERFUL!! This was one of the best comedies in years and Dan Levy is one of the funniest people EVER! CLEAN SWEEP for the Roses! BRAVO!!!

[@iago07]

The shout-out to ISSA and INSECURE was SO COOL!!!

[@mxchic05]

I KNOW!!! Love it!!!!

[@ayeshasiddiqua2059]

Yess..... Soo lovely of him ❤️

[@CelesteKTheNewWaveRevue]

Dan is a good winner.

[@elisabethcantor9566]

I was just going to say the same thing, so thank you for your post. Love Insecure!

[@EyeDigress]

Right?! Schitt's Creek has been an incredible show that I still watch constantly. BUT Insecure has been sorely underappreciated by the Emmys and viewers at large. Issa is a genius on the same level of appreciation that Dan and Phoebe have been given, for sure.

[@Lubbylove89]

I want to be in that Canadian box with them! lol I was worried that they wouldn't get their moment to shine this year if they were lucky enough to win but they were all together and looked like they were having a blast!!

[@MillyLou]

They were actually at Casa Loma, in the Glass Pavilion, one of the most beautiful venues in Toronto!

[@Lubbylove89]

@@MillyLou It's gorgeous! Beautiful setting for their special night.

[@TimothyCHenderson]

@@MillyLou They were in Casa Loma?! That's hilarious! Loved going there when I was a kid, creepy underground dungeon tunnel for the win.

[@cccc3788]

Dan Levy created an outstanding tv show that was hilarious from the 1st episode. I’m proud of him & I don’t even know him! I truly grateful for watching the show and I do every day!!!!!! The show is about love in every aspect & is extremely funny in every way. Can’t wait for the movie Dan! Congrats on all of your Emmys & to your cast for making history, winning all the awards. You should have won last few years too! But a great ending. Much love.

[@upasanadas9575]

It should not have ended.

[@elphbwckd212]

He absolutely deserved this award. That show is brilliant and this recognition is long overdue!

[@shreya3365]

The way Eugene Levy bent to hug his son is such a heartfelt moment!

[@wales2007]

This is so great!!! So well deserved. Congratulations Dan Levy 🌈🇨🇦🥂

[@agentstarling9998]

Schitts Creek is absolutely brilliant and he deserves this so much!!!! LGBTQ pride and acceptance! ❤️🌈❤️🌈❤️🌈❤️🌈

[@dicitalore605]

Yes absolutely and this is also huge for canadian entertainment. We need to produce more content like this that we can export.

Why make it about the gays tho...

[@emmabraid1528]

Dan deserves all of these awards. Couldn’t be more proud of this cast.

[@lvokdave]

I love how Eugene Levy just lept up to grab his son in a bear hug. Awesome.

[@CelesteKTheNewWaveRevue]

Yeah, he and his wife love their son. And Dan loves his parents too. The entire Levy family loves their son/brother/nephew the way that he is. A now out and proud gay Emmy winner as he calls himself.

[@ME-up4rz]

OUTSTANDING is the right word for this series! Congratulations Dan for creating Schitt's Creek: a world where acceptance, love and kindness are the ingredients to a happy life. We shall all use that recipe in our lives too!

[@julieroccia6344]

Love the personal shout out to Issa Rae and Insecure! That was so special.

[@cutsandshots8560]

It feels like Roses's family has finally succeeded!! Adorable!

[@katherinechambers6954]

schitts creek at the emmys this year just reminded me of that bit in modern family where alex keeps winning school awards and she gets up to do the speech and is like ‘hi again everybody’ 😂

[@vaL-kv6uy]

Dan & the writers of this show are so hilariously funny & talented! So enjoyable to watch more than once. I’m still laughing 😆 every time.

[@gianna0526]

Noah jumping up and down clapping makes me so happy.

[@gnelms24]

and His father Eugene Levy giving Dan a hug ❤

[@CelesteKTheNewWaveRevue]

@@gnelms24 And his uncle at the next table was cheering him on too.

[@mathdoyle]

Lets be honest Schitts Creek got us through Covid. It was the right show at a difficult time and i return to it whenever i need a digital hug

[@dominiccaceresmunoz2539]

Definitely 💯👌

[@Ceares]

I mean Dan literally--used in the proper, old fashioned way--would not be here without Eugene so I loved that line.

[@CelesteKTheNewWaveRevue]

Yeah, he wouldn't be here if not for his mother carrying him for 9 months.

[@underratedunity1528]

The comedy writing of this show is some of the best I've ever seen, arrested development is the only other show that could compare. But there's a flair here that is just so unique, Dan is a comedic genius. And the fact that he didn't have experience before this just blows my mind! This level of creative writing is something you usually only get decades in

[@codyhiginbotham6616]

I love the writing awards most, because without a screenplay/script there is no show or movie

[@suchitramaagala3115]

Catherine O'Hara and Eugene jumping around when Dan's name was announced 😭😭😭 oh Schitts Creek ❤️❤️

[@fong03]

“Oooooh my goodness!” Can he be any more adorable?? ☺️☺️

[@gnelms24]

Congratulations Dan and Schitt's Creek writing team! Very sweet moment when Dan Thanked his father Eugene. Love the shoutout that Dan gave to Issa Rae and the writing team of HBO's Insecure.

[@junbh2]

'I wouldn't be here if it weren't for you' - I was really expecting that to be a joke but I guess he was too overwhelmed to see it :).

[@CelesteKTheNewWaveRevue]

Well, Dan pitched the idea of a well-to-do family in the spirit of the Kardashians or the Hiltons, and what would happen if instead of keeping all of their money, they lost it all? He pitched the idea to his dad right in his living room.

@@nellissh2553 hey that's your opinion and its cool. But its my opinion that I feel it takes away from the feeling from the winner. Imagine, you win a race. You worked hard. At the end the presenter says " you are all winners", then announces the winner. For me, it takes away the joy of winning. Again just my opinion, not taking any "nice gesture" into something its not.

[@nellissh2553]

MigDon that would be fine because most people understand how not to have an ego. Also, Actor/Actresses always say that they are honored to be nominated with “xyz” all the time. Does that take away from their win as well 🤔👍🏾

[@lonellfletcher]

Why did some get their Emmys on camera and others didn’t?

[@millymillymilly]

That happens every year. No one wants the Emmys to last 12 hours.

[@lonellfletcher]

Milly Borkovic I’m not talking about the show’s length. The lead performers and producers got their trophies when they won, but the supporting and writing winners didn’t. They were all announced on camera, but some had their trophies and others didn’t. Why?

[@millymillymilly]

Lonell Fletcher oh I thought you were talking about categories and not the actual trophy. No idea. Probably because they had to have a person in a hazmat suit holding the trophy on standby outside of every nominated persons house/location which is a tremendous task, so they probably only decided to do it for the “big” categories.

[@lonellfletcher]

Milly Borkovic thanks. That makes sense, though my heart still hurts for the winners who couldn’t have their trophy while they made their victory speech.
