The show won Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series (Catherine O'Hara), Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series (Eugene Levy), Outstanding Writing for a Comedy Series, Outstanding Directing for a Comedy Series, Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series (Dan Levy), Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series (Annie Murphy), as well as Outstanding Comedy Series.
No comedy series has swept all four acting awards at the Emmys before, much less all four acting awards plus the ones for writing and directing. `All in the Family` won in three out of the four acting categories in 1978 and two of the four in 1972.
The show's previous seasons hadn't won a single Emmy, although it received several nominations. The series has won 18 Canadian Screen Awards and was the first Canadian comedy series to be nominated for a Critics' Choice Television Award for Best Comedy Series.
`Schitt's Creek` was created by Dan and Eugene Levy and aired its final season earlier this year. It follows the formerly wealthy Rose family who are forced to relocate to Schitt's Creek, a small town they once purchased as a joke.
