Highlights from the 77th Primetime Emmys: Winners, Viral Moments, and Political Statements
The 77th Primetime Emmys generated another slate of viral moments, from cash awards for short speeches to history-making wins and heartfelt thank yous.
This year's big winners of the night included HBO's medical drama The Pitt, Apple TV+'s Hollywood satire The Studio, and Netflix's chilling psychological miniseries Adolescence.
Trammell Tillman made history by becoming the first Black man ever to win an Emmy for supporting actor in a drama series.
Late-night host Stephen Colbert took home an honor after fellow nominees showed solidarity following the cancellation of his show. Host Nate Bargatze kept the flow of the night lively, humorously ensuring winners kept their speeches concise with a charity donation penalty for lengthy remarks.
During the Emmys, Adolescence dominated its category with key victories including Young actor Owen Cooper's win for best supporting actor, whom many lauded for his touching acceptance speech.
Meanwhile, The Studio, co-created by Seth Rogen, also shone, receiving multiple awards in its inaugural season, with Rogen humorously lamenting the number of awards he had to carry.
In a heartfelt moment, Noah Wyle celebrated The Pitt as it won both outstanding drama series and best lead actor, while Katherine LaNasa's speech earned a few deductions for exceeding the time limit imposed by Bargatze.
The event was not without its emotional highlights; winners spoke out on pressing societal issues, with Hannah Einbinder of Hacks making a notable political statement regarding the Gaza conflict.
As the night wrapped up, the production garnered attention not only for its awards and recognitions but also for the deep conversations birthed through heartfelt speeches and calls to action.
