Emmys 2025 news: ‘Adolescence’ and ‘The Studio’ shine, Cristin Milioti’s moment arrives
On September 14, 2025, the 77th annual Emmy Awards were held in Los Angeles, celebrating a standout year in television.
Major winners included The Studio, Adolescence, and Cristin Milioti, who earned a widely praised victory.
Film News Blitz’s Aidan Leo reflects on the results of the Emmys.
The night’s biggest winners: The Studio and Adolescence
The Studio took home four major awards, including Outstanding Comedy Series and Lead Actor in a Comedy Series.
Seth Rogen led the charge, winning Best Actor, as well as Directing and Writing for a Comedy Series.
Meanwhile, Adolescence dominated the Limited or Anthology categories.
It won Best Limited or Anthology Series, along with a remarkable sweep of acting awards: Lead Actor, Supporting Actor, and Supporting Actress.
Fifteen-year-old Owen Cooper made history as the youngest male Emmy winner ever, earning Best Supporting Actor in a Limited or Anthology Series.
Stephen Graham and Erin Doherty were also recognized for their standout performances, each securing well-deserved wins.
Graham added to his accolades by sharing the Writing award for a Limited or Anthology Series with co-writer Jack Thorne.
In total, The Studio and Adolescence collected 13 and eight awards respectively across the Primetime and Creative Arts Emmys.
Milioti triumphs for The Penguin
A tearful but ecstatic Cristin Milioti earned a well-deserved Emmy for Lead Actress in a Limited or Anthology Series, recognized for her performance as Sofia Falcone in The Penguin.
She prevailed over a stacked field, beating out screen legends Cate Blanchett and Michelle Williams, rising star Meghann Fahy, and the ever-compelling Rashida Jones.
While this was The Penguin’s only Primetime Emmy win, it had a strong showing at the Creative Arts Emmys, picking up eight additional awards.
Other notable winners
The Pitt scored big with five awards, including Best Drama Series and Lead Actor in a Drama Series for Noah Wyle.
Katherine LaNasa also won Supporting Actress in a Drama Series for her performance.
Severance earned two major acting honors: Britt Lower won Lead Actress in a Drama Series, and Tramell Tillman took home Supporting Actor.
