'Adolescence', 'Severance', ‘Hacks’ and More Win at the 2025 Emmy Awards
The likes of 'The Studio’, 'Hacks', and 'The Pitt' took home trophies during a ceremony that managed a few surprises, including a welcome ‘Andor’ win.
The 77th Emmys hosted by Nate Bargatze will air on CBS and Paramount+ September 14th.
Preview:
- 'The Studio', 'Hacks' and more won at the Emmy Awards.
- Noah Wyle and Britt Lower were named lead actors in a drama for their shows.
- Nate Bargatze hosted the show.
This year's Emmy Awards were held on Sunday night, and there were a lot of expected winners, including repeat appearances from Team 'Hacks' (Jean Smart scored fourth award) and 'The Traitors'.
Nate Bargatze hosted –– but beyond a relatively fun opening monologue taking expected swipes at TV such as 'The Bear' qualifying as comedy rather than drama, he wasn't all that impressive as emcee for the night. The only element that worked was a running total donation to the Boys & Girls Club of America he promised, which went up and down according to how well winners kept to a 45-second speech limit.
Stephen Colbert was the first presenter of the night, and in a nod to his show being cancelled by CBS (the channel that ran the ceremony this year), asked nominee Harrison Ford to get his resume to Steven Spielberg.

There was some surprises –– while 'Severance' was always expected to do well, it didn't take as much as expected, though Britt Lower's win over 'Matlock' veteran Kathy Bates was a minor upset, while 'The Studio's Seth Rogen triumphed over 'The Bear's Jeremy Allen White for Lead Actor in a Comedy series.
Elsewhere, 'Somebody Somewhere's Jeff Hiller was also somewhat of a surprise winner over nominees from 'The Studio' and 'Shrinking'.
The directing for a Limited Series category featured five women to one man. Of course the man won it! 'Adolescence' overseer Philip Barantini took the trophy — the limited series itself won a clutch of awards.
