Since last night’s Emmys were broadcast remotely, nominees didn’t get the privilege of losing in front of an audience of A-listers. Instead, they Zoomed in from the safety of their homes. And the Emmys got creative with how they’d actually present the awards. Presenters in custom-designed tuxedo hazmat suits were sent to the houses of some nominees.

If you lost, they would bash you to death with the award in front of your loved ones.
