EMMY CHANCES?
With this creative team and cast, Big Mistakes could be a strong Emmys contender. At the 2020 Emmys, Schitt’s Creek swept major categories. Levy won for comedy writing, directing, and supporting actor; Eugene Levy took comedy actor; and the series won Best Comedy Series. Dan and Eugene also cohosted the 76th Emmy Awards in 2024.
