After illustrious careers in comedy, SchittsCreek stars Catherine O’Hara and Eugene Levy nabbed their first-ever acting Emmys
O’Hara won for lead actress in a comedy, for her portrayal of Moira Rose, in her second consecutive nomination for the hit sitcom. Her only previous Emmy win comes from variety program writing in 1982, as a part of the “SCTV” team. However, through the years she has nabbed four other writing noms and a supporting limited series/TV movie acting nom .
For both actors, the wins marked their last chances to take home an Emmy for “Schitt’s Creek,” as the series wrapped up this year. “I’ll forever be grateful to Eugene and Daniel Levy for giving me the opportunity to play a woman of a certain age, my age, who gets to be fully her ridiculous self,” she said. “They gathered the most beautiful, fun-loving people in Toronto, cast and crew, and then, by example, led us to be the best we can be for each other.”“Though these are the strangest of days, may you have as much joy being holed up in a hole or two with your family as I had with my dear Roses,” she said.
“I guess it’s kind of ironic that the straightest role I ever played lands me an Emmy for a comedy performance,” he said. “So now I seriously have to question just what I’ve been doing for the past 50 years.”
