The 77th Primetime Emmy Awards are almost underway at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles. As one of Hollywood’s biggest night unfolds, we’ll be updating the list below with every Emmy winner as they’re announced, so don’t forget to refresh.
The star-studded event celebrates the best in television from June 2024 to May 2025. Winners are selected through a peer-based voting system by Television Academy members in categories relevant to their areas of expertise.
Tonight marks comedian Nate Bargatze’s first time hosting the Emmys. Bargatze has released six comedy specials, hosted two episodes of Saturday Night Live and sold millions of stand-up tour tickets. Ahead of the show, he told USA Today that hosting the Emmys is “one of the dreams that he’s been embarrassed” to say out loud.
“You just have it sitting there and you don’t really say anything because you’d feel stupid just going, ‘I want to do this,’” he continued. “You just work and try to put yourself in a position where eventually, you get asked to do it.”
Severance leads the 2025 Emmy nominations with 27 nods. The hit Apple TV+ series is competing against Andor, The Diplomat, The Last of Us, Paradise, The Pitt, Slow Horses and The White Lotus for Outstanding Drama Series. In the Comedy category, 2024 winner Hacksfaces Abbott Elementary, The Bear, Nobody Wants This, Only Murders in the Building, Shrinking, The Studio and What We Do in the Shadows.
