Jimmy Kimmel hosted the largely virtual ceremony with only him and a handful of celebs who came as presenters. The rest of the show had celebs tuning in from their homes.

Earlier in the day, the actress had shared her prep as she was seen in pajamas with a glass of wine in her hand and a mask on her face. She wrote,  "Emmys prep... In my other mask." She congratulated her fellow nominees and added, "Congratulations to the nominees and all of the amazing performances we've seen this year."
