That's a wrap
• The 77th Primetime Emmy Awards: HBO Max’s medical drama “The Pitt” beat out “Severance,” the most nominated show at this year’s Emmys, with a win for best drama series and a lead acting award for Noah Wyle.
• More big winners: Seth Rogen’s Apple TV+ series skewering Hollywood execs, “The Studio,” had a huge night, including a win for best comedy and an acting win for Rogen. Netflix’s weighty crime drama “Adolescence” dominated in the limited series categories.
• Speeches on the clock: Host Nate Bargatze challenged winners to limit acceptance speeches to 45 seconds, adding or subtracting $1,000 from a planned donation to the Boys & Girls Club for every second under or over that mark. Bargatze ultimately said the charity would receive $350,000 — despite an on-screen counter dipping into the red by the close of the show.
Catch up on some of tonight's most memorable Emmys moments
Our live coverage of the 2025 Emmy Awards has come to a close.
If you’re looking to catch up on the night as it happened, you can read our full recap of the awards show here.
Here’s a quick rundown of some standout moments:
• “The Studio” makes history: Seth Rogen’s Apple TV+ hit picked up more awards in a single Emmys cycle than any other comedy series. Check it out if you haven’t — it’s an amusing send-up of Hollywood execs with loads of self-aware cameos. Our only regret here is no onstage shout-out to “Sal Sapperstein.”
• Noah Wyle and “The Pitt”: The HBO Max drama wouldn’t be what it is without Wyle, who has been working in fictional hospitals longer than some of this year’s Emmy nominees have been alive. It felt like something of a culmination to see him accepting his Emmy for outstanding lead actor in a drama. Then “The Pitt” beat out “Severance” for best drama series, capping a big night.
• Colbert gets his flowers: Chants of “Stephen, Stephen, Stephen,” rained down when “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” won the Emmy for outstanding talk series for the first time. Earlier this summer, Colbert announced that his show will end next year after being canceled by CBS — a controversial move.
• The donation counter: This was a great bit. Host Nate Bargatze challenged winners to limit acceptance speeches to 45 seconds, adding or subtracting $1,000 from a planned donation to the Boys & Girls Club for every second under or over that mark. Bargatze ultimately said the charity would receive $350,000 — despite an on-screen counter dipping into the red by the close of the show.
Correction: A previous version of this post misstated the streaming service that “The Pitt” appears on. The show streams on HBO Max.

Thanks for spending the evening with us as we brought you the latest on the big winners and standout moments of the 77th Primetime Emmy Awards.
As we wind down our coverage, here’s one more peek inside the room at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles:
In case you missed it: Britt Lower dropped an Easter egg for "Severance" fans during her speech
Britt Lower won the best lead actress in a drama Emmy for her work in “Severance,” the dystopian workplace thriller from Apple TV+ — and she gave the show’s fans something fun to chew on when she accepted the award.
The back of what appeared to be Lower’s notes for a speech had the words “Let me out” written on the back.
Without spoiling anything for those who are still considering giving the show a try, “Severance” centers on a team of employees who undergo a procedure that renders them unable to remember what happens during the workday, halving them into what the characters call an “innie” office worker, and an “outie” at home.
The line was a nod to a moment featuring Lower’s character. Good fun!
