Paul Mescal misses out on his Emmy as Watchmen, Schitt's Creek and Succession clean up
It came on a strange night for the Emmys that were conducted remotely for the first time.
PAUL MESCAL MISSED out on an Emmy last night as Mark Ruffalo took home the award for Lead Actor in a limited series.
Ireland’s Mescal was facing off against some of Hollywood’s biggest hitters for his portrayal of Sligo-teenager-turned Trinity student Connell in Normal People, but his name wasn’t read out on the night.
Director Lenny Abrahamson, casting director Louise Kiely and writers Sally Rooney and Alice Birch also missed out in their categories after being nominated for their work on the same show.
It came on a strange night for the Emmys that were conducted remotely for the first time.
Hollywood A-listers were beam into an empty Staples Centre in Los Angeles from their apartments, guest houses and various other locations in 10 countries.
HBO’s Watchmen led the way with a total of 11 wins, including the prize for best limited series.
Cult favourite Schitt’s Creek cleaned up in the comedy awards, taking home a total of nine prizes, including four for creator and star Daniel Levy.
And among the dramas, Succession took home seven wins and top honours for best series, best lead actor, best writing and best directing.
