Ted Johnson The politics at this year’s Emmys reflected a year of chaos of consternation: a polarizing election, the police brutality protests and, most recently, the death of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.The most frequent message from winners, though, was a simple plea to just get out and vote.“For any of you who have not registered to vote, please do so, and then go out and vote, because that is the only way we are going to have some love and acceptance out there,” said Daniel Levy, accepting the seventh award that Schitt’s Creek won during the evening. “I’m so sorry for making this political, but I had to.” The Emmycast itself was like no other because of COVID-19, with nominees forced to stay at home or with friends and accept their wins.
