2025 Emmy Awards winners list: ‘The Studio,’ Seth Rogen win big, ‘Adolescence’ dominates – National

Television’s biggest night returned with the 77th Primetime Emmy Awards, celebrating the best in television from standout stories, performances and creators of the year.

Comedian Nate Bargatze hosted the ceremony for the very first time and he was also nominated for his variety special, Your Friend, Nate Bargatze.

Ahead of the ceremony, Severance dominated the field with 27 Emmy nominations, while The Studio led comedy nominees with a record-breaking 23 nominations — the most-ever for a comedy series in its first season.

Canadian actor Seth Rogen, who co-created the series with longtime collaborator Evan Goldberg, was a triple threat on Emmys night, taking home awards for acting, writing and directing

Rogen took home the first award of the night for Lead Actor in a Comedy Series for his role in The Studio.

“I’ve never won anything in my life. When I was a kid I bought a used bowling trophy at an estate sale,” he said during his acceptance speech for his first-ever Emmy win.

Rogen won his second Emmy of the night alongside The Studio co-creator Evan Goldberg for Directing for a Comedy Series.

Viewers also got a Gilmore Girls reunion as Alexis Bledel and Lauren Graham took the stage to announce the award for Best Writing for a Comedy Series, which was awarded to Rogen, Goldberg, Peter Huyck, Alex Gregory and Frida Perez for The Studio.

The Studio continued to dominate as it was awarded the Emmy for Outstanding Comedy Series.

“I’m legitimately embarrassed by how happy this makes me,” said Rogen.

Rogen’s four wins, along with nine claimed at last weekend’s Creative Arts Emmys, broke a record set last year by The Bear with 11 for the most wins by a comedy series in a single season.

Tramell Tillman became the first Black man to win Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series for his role in Severance. Backstage, Tillman applauded the scores of Black actors that came before him, including the late Andre Braugher and Michael K. Williams.

“I’ve been taken by their work for years and I’ve borrowed from them, so I’m just honoured to be in the class,” said Tillman.

The six wins for Netflix’s acclaimed Adolescence, the story of a 13-year-old in Britain accused of a killing, included Best Actor for co-creator Stephen Graham, and Best Supporting Actor for 15-year-old Owen Cooper.

Cooper became the youngest Supporting Actor in a Limited Series winner in over 40 years. Roxana Zal was the youngest ever at age 14 when she won Best Supporting Actress in a Limited Series or Special for the TV movie Something About Amelia in 1984.

“I was nothing about three years ago, and now here I am,” Cooper told the crowd. “Step out of your comfort zone a little, who cares if you get embarrassed.”

The Late Show With Stephen Colbert (airing on Global on weeknights at 11:30 p.m. ET) took home the Emmy award for Best Variety Talk Series.

Colbert thanked CBS for “giving us the privilege to be part of the late-night tradition, which I hope continues long after we’re no longer doing this show.”

His comments come after it was announced that The Late Show would be ending after a 33-year run next May.

“Stay strong. Be brave. And if the elevator tries to bring you down, go crazy and punch a higher floor,” said the 61-year-old comic.

Colbert received a standing ovation for his talk series win and when he was done talking, the crowd got back on its feet.
