More Emmy love for Canadian Daniel Levy

TORONTO — “Schitt’s Creek” may be over but the Emmy Awards aren’t done with Daniel Levy.

After sweeping the top seven categories last year with the final season of the CBC hit comedy, Levy is up for a trophy again — this time for guest hosting “Saturday Night Live.”

Levy appeared in a number of the episode’s sketches, including one about the addictive pleasures of skimming online luxury real estate listings, and another where he played a tram operator on the Universal Studios Orlando backlot tour.

Levy joins several Canadian Emmy contenders that include a swath of homegrown artists behind the Ontario-shot “The Handmaid’s Tale,” including Emmy-winning “Schitt’s” costume designers Debra Hanson and Darci Cheyne in the race for best fantasy/sci-fi costumes.

The dystopian CTV Drama series also netted Canadians nominations in categories for sound mixing, production design, contemporary makeup, singlecamera picture editing and casting for a drama series.

Other nominees include renovation twins Jonathan and Drew Scott who are among the producers nominated for HGTV’s “Property Brothers: Forever Home” in the outstanding structured reality program category. They share the category with Canadian tycoons Kevin O’Leary and Robert Herjavec as part of the producing team for ABC/ CTV’s “Shark Tank.”

The outspoken entrepreneurs also sit among their fellow Sharks as nominees for best reality or competition host, a category with Canadians aplenty: Toronto cookbook maven Gail Simmons joins her co-hosts as contenders for Food Network’s “Top Chef,: while Montreal-bred culinary star Antoni Porowski is named alongside the other the Fab Five hosts of Netflix’s “Queer Eye.”

In 2020, Levy won Emmy’s for producing and writing “Schitt’s Creek” and a third for best supporting actor.
