All the winners from the 2025 Emmy Awards
Did your fave take the trophy or were you robbed?
CONGRATULATIONS TO THE WINNERS OF THE 2025 EMMY AWARDS – even if it meant our faves missed out. Adam Scott (aka Maaaaark), robbed. ROBBED.
The biggest awards night for television, the annual Emmy Awards, has begun to rival the gravity of the Oscars courtesy of the medium’s shift into premium output. Entertainment isn’t as easily divided along the lines of comedy and drama as it once was. Just ask anyone who is a fan of The Bear – although sorry for your loss after losing six nominations this year. The new wave of genre-blending writing has meant that the usual categories the Emmys are split into are tougher to silo.
Perhaps the most exciting news of the night goes to Owen Cooper, who at 15 has become the youngest actor to take home an award in the history of the Emmys. Cooper was nominated for his arresting turn as 13-year-old murderer Jamie Miller in the British drama Adolescence.
Best callback to their own show goes to Britt Lower, who won Best Lead Actress for her role as Helena Eagan in Severance. As Lower collected her award and unfolded her speech, written on the back were the words “LET ME OUT”. Helly R, we hear you!
