UPDATE: The 2025 Emmy Awards just concluded in Los Angeles, where “The Pitt” took home the prestigious award for Best Drama Series. Star Noah Wyle also clinched Best Actor in a Drama, marking a significant night for the HBO Max medical series, which surprised many by outshining heavyweights like “Severance” and “The White Lotus.”
In a historic turn, “The Studio,” co-created by Seth Rogen, shattered records with the most wins by a comedy series in a single season, totaling an astonishing 15 awards after sweeping nine at last weekend’s Creative Arts Emmys. Rogen himself won four awards, including acting, directing, and writing, as he celebrated the show’s breakout first season. “I’m legitimately embarrassed by how happy this makes me,” Rogen stated after winning Best Comedy Series.
Netflix’s “Adolescence” dominated the limited series categories, bagging six wins, including Best Limited Series. The show tells the gripping story of a 13-year-old in Britain accused of a murder. Co-creator Stephen Graham took home Best Actor, while Owen Cooper, at just 15 years old, became the youngest Emmy winner in over 40 years for his role in the series. “It’s just so surreal,” Cooper expressed during his acceptance speech, emphasizing the unexpected journey that led him to this moment.
Also notable, Katherine LaNasa won Best Supporting Actress for her performance in “The Pitt,” a surprising accolade given the strong competition from nominees of “The White Lotus.” “I am so proud and honored,” LaNasa remarked, visibly emotional.
In another surprise, Jeff Hiller won Best Supporting Actor in a Comedy for “Somebody Somewhere,” edging out notable nominees including Rogen. The night was filled with unexpected wins, including Best Actress in a Limited Series awarded to Cristin Milioti for “The Penguin,” which marked the first victory of the night for the highly acclaimed HBO series.
The event featured a unique format, with host Nate Bargatze delivering his opening monologue after the first award. The ceremony kicked off with a sketch involving “Saturday Night Live” stars, setting a lively tone for the night.
With the Emmy Awards now concluded, viewers are left buzzing about the unexpected winners and what this means for future awards seasons. As the industry reflects on this year’s shocking results, all eyes will be on upcoming projects from these standout shows and their talented casts.
