Every autumn, the Emmy Awards takes center stage as television’s most dazzling night. It’s not just a star-studded celebration, but also an annual report card on the creative power of the small screen. Aimee Yan gives you the complete list of winners at the 2025 Emmy Awards

The 77th Emmys carried on a tradition of glamour and surprise, spotlighting everything from breakout newcomers to triumphant returns of beloved series, giving audiences plenty to talk about and even more to remember.

This year’s winners’ circle was nothing short of headline-worthy. The Pitt swept the drama categories, cementing its status as the year’s powerhouse. Severance continued to spark conversation, with both Britt Lower and Tramell Tillman taking home acting honors.

In comedy, The Studio rose to the top, while Jean Smart once again reminded us why she remains comedy’s reigning queen with her role in Hacks. Limited series Adolescence was another major standout, scoring Best Limited Series and catapulting newcomer Owen Cooper into instant stardom.
