Full List of Winners at the 2025 Emmy Awards

The 2025 Emmy Awards, television’s most prestigious night, took center stage on Sunday, September 14, 2025, at the Peacock Theatre in Los Angeles. The ceremony brought together the brightest stars of TV and streaming, celebrating creative excellence and the groundbreaking performances that shaped the past year in entertainment.

The spotlight this year belonged largely to the streaming powerhouses. Netflix’s “Adolescence” and Apple TV+’s “The Studio” emerged as the dominant forces of the evening, each racking up multiple wins and cementing their status as cultural juggernauts. Apple TV+ also enjoyed additional glory with “Severance,” which picked up several awards across technical and performance categories, though it narrowly missed out on the top-tier honors.

Meanwhile, in a show of prestige over sheer numbers, HBO Max’s “The Pitt” proved a strategic victor. Despite a smaller tally overall, the series claimed some of the most coveted awards of the night, underscoring HBO Max’s reputation for quality-driven storytelling.

Historic Achievements

This year’s ceremony wasn’t just about trophies—it was about rewriting Emmy history:

• Tramell Tillman (“Severance”) made history as the first Black performer to win in his specific category, a groundbreaking milestone that sparked applause and reflection across the industry.

• Owen Cooper (“Adolescence”), at just 15 years old, became the youngest Emmy winner ever, etching his name into the record books and marking the beginning of what could be a legendary career.

Notable Disappointments

Alongside the triumphs came some shocking upsets, leaving fans and critics stunned:

• “The Last of Us”, despite a staggering 16 nominations, walked away empty-handed.

• “The White Lotus”, considered one of the night’s top contenders with 23 nominations, failed to secure a single award.

• FX’s “The Bear”, which many predicted would dominate thanks to its 13 nominations, left without recognition, one of the evening’s most surprising outcomes.
