In the best limited series category, ‘Adolescence’ won eight statuettes in the main categories, including best supporting actor for Owen Cooper, who also surpassed Scott Jacoby’s 1973 milestone as the youngest actor to receive an Emmy in any acting category.
Copper brings to life Jamie Miller, a 13-year-old boy accused of murdering a classmate.
In addition to the five awards won at this Sunday’s gala, three other awards in the technical categories were presented last weekend.
Stephen Graham, who in addition to picking up the award for best director, also won the statuette for best leading actor, wanted to dedicate his recognition to his wife.

In addition, American actress Cristin Milioti won in the Best Actress in a Limited Series category, with one of the most emotional speeches of the gala.

The 77th Emmy Awards served as a loudspeaker for some actors and workers in the Hollywood industry, one of the most powerful in the world, to support the Palestinian people.
Javier Bardem appeared on the red carpet of the awards wearing a kufiya, a traditional Middle Eastern scarf, to precisely “denounce the urgent, Israel’s genocide in Gaza,” he told EFE.
The Spanish actor raised his voice to call for “the sanctions that must be given to the genocidal state of Israel, not only for the ongoing genocide, but also for the state of apartheid that causes so much heartbreak.”

Hacks’ star Hannah Einbinder also closed her speech after picking up the Emmy for Best Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series in support of the Palestinian people and with a plea against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
Meanwhile, American comedian Meghan Stalter posed on the Emmys red carpet with a black handbag with the inscription “Let the fire burn!”.

The Academy paid tribute to the recently deceased lead singer of the heavy metal band Black Sabbath, Ozzy Osborne.
As well as other Hollywood icons such as actress Michelle Trachtenberg (‘Gossip Girl’), Maggie Smith (‘Harry Potter’), David Lynch (‘Blue Velvet’) or legendary composer Quincy Jones.
The Emmy 2025 gala also gave moments for nostalgia, such as the reunions starring Alexis Bledel and Lauren Graham from the iconic series ‘Gilmore Girls’, or the presence of the cast of the long-running series ‘Law and Order’, led by Mariska Hargitay.
Also Stephen Colbert, whose show was recently canceled by CBS, a decision celebrated by U.S. President Donald Trump, received an Emmy for best talk show and was one of the most cheered of the night.
“I have never loved my country so much, let’s make America great again, be brave,” concluded the comedian in his speech, accompanied by a long ovation and shouts of encouragement from the audience.
And those were some of the winners of Emmy night 2025.
