Schitt’s Creek has become a Canadian success story and while Pop TV, and to some extent, Netflix, will get the domestic plaudits – the network that gave the comedy its first chance was CBC.
The public broadcaster said that it was “proud” to have commissioned the Dan Levy and Eugene Levy-created comedy, which gave Canada its first ever series win and became the first comedy or drama to sweep all four acting categories.
The show was also the first series to sweep all categories during the main telecast while Dan Levy tied the record for most wins by an individual in a single season with four wins, joining Moira Demos in 2016 and Amy Sherman-Palladino in 2018.
The show won Outstanding Comedy Series Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series for Catherine O’Hara, Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series for Eugene Levy, Outstanding Directing for a Comedy Series for Andrew Cividino and Daniel Levy,...

The 2020 Emmy nominees have been announced, and Schitt's Creek is finally getting the love it deserves. The Canadian sitcom nabbed a total of 15 (!) nominations for its sixth and final season, with Catherine O'Hara, Annie Murphy, Dan Levy, and Eugene Levy each earning nods for their Rose family roles. We'll raise a glass of Herb Ertlinger fruit wine to that - but no guarantee we'll actually be gagging down all of said glass.
The hilarious and heartwarming Pop TV series scored its first four Emmy nominations last year, although it didn't wind up taking home any golden trophies during the show - and this year marks its last chance to secure one. Moira Rose did say her favorite season is award season, so here's to hoping that helps O'Hara finally get the win she's undoubtedly earned for portraying the beloved Jazzagal with a profound vocabulary and puzzling accent.

Listen up as Clip joint seeks out the finest musical moments from leading ladies
This week's Clip joint is by Sophie Monks Kaufman, who is currently watching a film every day and blogging about it at A Truth a Day. You can follow her on Twitter at @sopharsogood.
Think you can do better than Sophie? If you've got an idea for a future Clip joint, send a message to adam.boult@guardian.co.uk
A fitting song in an otherwise non-musical film can steal the show, especially when the fairer sex is involved. Whether she's seducing, entertaining or laying bare the secrets of her soul, a siren's song can hit notes that lines of dialogue merely circle. Part of this is the undivided attention the singer receives. For a few minutes, the camera's lens is only for her. Armed with lyrics, vocal range and occasionally a dance number, the songstress...

Stop press! Clip joint wants your suggestions for movie scenes featuring newspapers
After last week's discussion about how best to proceed with Clip joint, this week we feature a a contribution by regular Guardian reader Jon Comerford, a film enthusiast from Norfolk who lists his main loves as "Humphrey Bogart, old black and white British films and the Easy Riders and Raging Bulls of American cinema."
Think you can do better than Jon? If you've got an idea for a future Clip joint, get in touch with adam.boult@guardian.co.uk
Read all about it, the subject of this week's Clip joint is newspapers. The topic of journalists has been done so here we're concentrating on the actual reading material rather than the institutions. Newspapers are a useful device for directors, with a shot of the front page being a quick and cost-effective method of establishing the background to the story,...
