Emmys 2025: Netflix's 'Adolescence' scores big; here's the list of winners

The 77th Primetime Emmy Awards are underway and host Nate Bargatze kicked off the ceremony Sunday with a string of jokes poking fun at the television industry.

Bargatze joked that 77th award ceremony is “not a big one, like 75 or 80, but it’s the one that gave me.”

So far,  “The Studio” has made Emmy history with its 12th trophy, becoming the winningest comedy series ever in a season. “Severance” also has won multiple awards, with Britt Lower earning best actress in a drama and Tramell Tillman’s historic win for best supporting actor in a drama.

As the awards continue, we’ll provide analysis and context for key moments during the night.

• Too-long speeches mean Bargatze donates less money to charity: Bargatze has hatched a diabolical — yet altruistic — plot to keep speeches to their 45-second limit. He says he’ll donate $100,000 to Boys & Girls Clubs of America, but for every 1 second a speech goes over the limit, he’ll subtract $1,000. He will add $1,000 back for every second under the limit a speech comes in. The night’s first winner, Seth Rogen, got the show started by adding $6,000 to the pot.

• What it’s like to be there right now: Food is available – for a price. The offerings include a charcuterie box for $17, 24 ounces of Modelo beer for $18.99, and premium tequila, vodka and whiskey cocktails for $18.25. A bag of chips is a bargain at $3.75. AP reporter Beth Harris is at the show and has the inside scoop on what the public isn’t seeing on TV.

• How to watch: The show is airing live on CBS. For those without cable, it’ll be streaming on Paramount+. Subscribers need to have the Showtime add-on plan to watch live on streaming; standard Paramount+ subscribers can stream it Monday through Sept. 21.

After decades of playing a doctor on TV, lead actor in a drama series winner Noah Wyle told the AP earlier this year that he thinks he could perform some actual medical procedures.

“Whether I have the intestinal fortitude to do some of this stuff is another matter.” Wyle added that given how long he’s been a TV doctor, he could have a medical degree by now. “I’m either the worst student, or the best actor-doctor around.”

Accepting his Emmy, he thanked medical workers going off or coming on shift.
