The 2025 Emmys Awards telecast crowned the year’s big winners on Sunday night, with The Pitt, The Studio, Adolescence, and The Late Show With Stephen Colbert winning big.

The Pitt nabbed three Emmys, including for Best Drama Series. Star Noah Wyle also took home the Best Actor in a Drama Series win, and his co-star, Katherine LaNasa, topped four White Lotus stars to pull in the Emmy for Best Supporting Actress in a Drama.

Adolescence earned six awards, including the Best Limited or Anthology Series, and Owen Cooper became the youngest-ever winner in any category when he took home the Best Supporting Actor award in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie. Executive producer/writer/star Stephen Graham won the Best Actor in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie, and Erin Doherty won Best Supporting Actress. Philip Barantini won for Best Directing for a Limited or Anthology Series, and Graham won his third Emmy when he and Jack Thorne won for Best Writing.

On the comedy side of the ledger, the night belonged to The Studio, which won Best Comedy Series and co-creator Seth Rogen won again for Best Actor, then again for Best Director and Best Writer, both with Evan Goldberg, while they shared the writing honors with Peter Huyck, Alex Gregory, and Frida Perez.

The Late Show with Stephen Colbert won Best Talk Series, an emotional victory that came two months after CBS announced it was canceling the series. Colbert and his staff enjoyed a standing ovation.

Tramell Tillman became the first Black man to win Best Supporting Actor in a Drama Series for his work in Severance. His co-star Brit Lower nabbed Best Actress in a Drama Series. Meanwhile, Cristin Milioti won Best Actress in a Limited or Anthology Series for her stellar work playing Sofia Falcone in The Penguin.
