With wins from Seth Rogen, „Severance“ and „Hacks,“ the Emmys 2025 weren’t anything shocking, but were nice.
The 2025 Emmys ended up being a nice night.
“Nice” isn’t juicy, but it’s also far from terrible.
First time winner Seth Rogen set this tone with his acceptance speech kicking off the evening. When he took home the expected Best Actor win for his showbiz comedy “The Studio,” rather than making a crass joke or political comment as one might expect, Rogen talked about how he’s never won anything in his life.
“I don’t know what to say – this is so nice!” he gushed.
That ended up being the theme of the ceremony.
Hosted by comedian Nate Bargatze and airing on CBS on Sunday, Sept. 14, the 2025 Emmys was a showdown between “The Pitt,” “Severance,” “The White Lotus” and “The Studio.”
Although it was a big night for “Severance,” “The Pitt,” and “The Studio,” no one show dominated; the Emmys spread the love across a wide swatch of winners, including those shows, “The Pitt,” “Hacks” and even shows like “Andor” and “Somebody Somewhere.”
“The Pitt” took the top prizes for Best Drama and Lead Actor, beating “Severance.” But, the latter show still got several respectable wins, like Lead Actress for Britt Lower and Supporting Actor for Tramell Tillman (who made history as the first black man to win that category).
There were a slew of first-time winners in the big categories, including Wyle, Rogen, Lower, Tillman, “The Penguin” star Cristin Milioti and “Adolescence” star Owen Cooper (who also made history as the youngest male winner, at age 15).
The Best Drama actor race was a tense toss-up; while Wyle got the trophy, it was a bloodbath between him and “Severance” star Adam Scott.
