Watchmen, Succession and Schitt's Creek were among the big winners at the 2020 Primetime Emmy Awards.

Zendaya and Mark Ruffalo were also among those receiving trophies at home in this year's ceremony, hosted by Jimmy Kimmel from the Staples Center in Los Angeles with video links to winners' homes (or, in some cases, the set of their shows).

Watchmen had scored the most nominations of any show this year with 26, taking home 11 across Sunday's show and the Creative Arts Emmys, including the Best Limited Series award.

Regina King and Yahya Abdul-Mateen II were both honoured with acting awards for their performances in the widely-acclaimed HBO drama.

Succession claimed seven awards in total and led the way in the drama categories – taking best writing, directing, best actor for Jeremy Strong and best series.

Meanwhile, Schitt's Creek dominated in the comedy categories, winning nine awards in a new record for the most wins in a single season for a comedy. Its stars Eugene Levy, Daniel Levy, Catherine O'Hara and Annie Murphy all won acting awards.

And Zendaya became the youngest ever winner in the Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series category, taking the prize home for her role in Euphoria.

Ruffalo was recognised with the Outstanding Lead Actor in a Limited Series or Movie award for I Know This Much Is True.
