Every autumn, the Emmy Awards take centre stage as television’s most dazzling night—not just a star-studded celebration, but also an annual report card on the creative power of the small screen. Here’s Aimee Yan reports to you the complete winners list from the 2025 Emmy Awards

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.
