The 77th Primetime Emmy Awards wrapped up Sunday night with Netflix's "Adolescence" and Apple TV+'s "The Studio" leading the pack, each claiming multiple top honors at the Peacock Theater, while young actor Owen Cooper etched his name in the record books as the youngest male winner in a major acting category.

Hosted by comedian Nate Bargatze, the ceremony celebrated excellence in television from June 2024 to May 2025, drawing stars from across the industry to honor standout series and performances. Bargatze kicked off the evening with a lighthearted pledge: a $100,000 donation to the Boys & Girls Clubs of America, with $1,000 added or subtracted for every second winners' speeches ran under or over the 45-second limit. Despite some overruns that dipped the on-screen counter into the red, he announced a final $350,000 contribution, ensuring the charity benefited regardless.

"Adolescence," a British Netflix drama, swept six awards, including Outstanding Limited or Anthology Series, Outstanding Lead Actor for Stephen Graham, Outstanding Supporting Actress for Erin Doherty, Outstanding Supporting Actor for 15-year-old Owen Cooper, Outstanding Writing, and Outstanding Directing.

Cooper's win marked a milestone, surpassing previous records for the youngest male Emmy recipient in the supporting actor category for a limited series or TV movie. The series, which follows a complex coming-of-age story, also triumphed over nominees like "The Penguin" and "Black Mirror."

"The Studio," Seth Rogen's satirical take on Hollywood executives, emerged as the night's comedy powerhouse with four wins, including Outstanding Comedy Series, Outstanding Lead Actor for Rogen in his first career Emmy, Outstanding Writing, and Outstanding Directing for "The Oner." Rogen, portraying a hapless studio head, beat out competitors like Jeremy Allen White from "The Bear" and Quinta Brunson from "Abbott Elementary." The Apple TV+ show set a record as the most-awarded first-year comedy series.

HBO's medical drama "The Pitt" secured three prizes, highlighted by Outstanding Drama Series and Outstanding Lead Actor for Noah Wyle, who finally claimed his long-awaited first Emmy after decades in the industry. Wyle's emotional acceptance speech reflected on his journey, edging out nominees including Sterling K. Brown from "Paradise" and Brian Cox from "Succession." Other drama standouts included "Severance," which earned wins for Britt Lower as Outstanding Lead Actress and Tramell Tillman as Outstanding Supporting Actor – the latter making history as the first Black actor to win in that category.

In comedy supporting roles, Hannah Einbinder took home Outstanding Supporting Actress for "Hacks," while Jeff Hiller won for "Somebody Somewhere." Jean Smart claimed her third Emmy as Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series for "Hacks," continuing her streak in the role. Reality television saw "The Traitors" prevail with Outstanding Reality Competition Program, hosted by Alan Cumming, who also won for Outstanding Host.

Variety and talk formats shone brightly too: "Last Week Tonight with John Oliver" won Outstanding Scripted Variety Series and Outstanding Writing for a Variety Series, while "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" claimed Outstanding Talk Series. The live variety special "SNL50: The Anniversary Special" rounded out key wins.

The evening paid tribute to industry icons who passed away over the year, with a poignant slideshow, and featured presenters from hits like "Survivor" and "Only Murders in the Building."

Nominations had been announced in July, with "Severance" leading at 27, but the wins spread across newcomers and veterans, underscoring the breadth of television's creative output.
