In drama, The Pitt took home Outstanding Drama Series, with Noah Wyle earning the award for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama for his role. Severance saw strong nominations and critical buzz but was edged out in several top categories.
Comedy was dominated by The Studio, which won Outstanding Comedy Series, along with other awards including Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy for Seth Rogen.
Meanwhile, Adolescence made waves in the limited or anthology categories—it won Outstanding Limited or Anthology Series, Outstanding Lead Actor in that type for Stephen Graham, and several acting awards including Supporting Actor for Owen Cooper.
Other highlights: Cristin Milioti won Lead Actress in a Limited or Anthology Series for The Penguin. In supporting roles, Katherine LaNasa won Supporting Actress in a Drama for The Pitt, and Hannah Einbinder took Supporting Actress in a Comedy for Hacks. Outstanding Reality Competition Program went to The Traitors. The Late Show with Stephen Colbert won Outstanding Talk Series.
Overall, the 2025 Emmys affirmed that originality and strong ensemble storytelling are proving just as important as star power. Shows with bold voices and fresh perspectives are getting their moment in the spotlight.
