On Sunday evening, the 2020 Emmy Awards took place. Although with social distancing, nothing could stop the show.
Below, find the five most epic moments of the show, which surely marked the history in the world of television:
# 1
Zendaya became the youngest person to win the award for lead actress in a drama
The 24-year-old also became the second woman of color in history to win an Emmy for Best Actress in a Drama Series. Viola David was the first woman to win in this category, for her role as Annalize Keating in the series How To Get Away With Murder in 2015.
# 2
Schitt's Creek set an Emmy record
The Canadian hit show won seven awards at its home, becoming the first comedy / drama to receive all the awards for acting in the genre at once.
# 3
Most of the acting awards were won by actors of color
Of the 19 total performer categories, 10 were won by actors of color, including Uzo Aduba, Regina King, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II and Eddie Murphy.
Those victories made last night's Emmy one of the most diverse ever, while also highlighting how much "work still has to be done" in Hollywood.

The whole show was filmed without an audience
It may once have been hard to imagine Emmy without an audience of well-dressed celebrities clapping, but this is exactly what happened Sunday night, with presenter Jimmy Kimmel speaking in front of no one. Safety, first and foremost!
# 5
A Covid-19 test occurred directly on the screen
At one point that underlined all the strangeness of our current reality, presenter Jason Sudeikis was seen passing a nose test for COVID-19.
