The 2025 Emmy Awards feels like it might just be a sign that there’s a changing of the guard in Hollywood, or at least an acceptance that there’s a wave of change flowing through Tinseltown. From The Studio star Seth Rogen breaking through after nine prior nominations, to Severance favorites Britt Lower and Tramell Tillman converting their first nods into wins, the theme of the night was clear: the Television Academy was ready to reward the next wave of talent, while honoring stars of the past.
One of the shining moments of the evening came when Katherine LaNasa, with over 30 years in the industry, finally heard her name called for <em>The Pitt</em>. Likewise, her co-star Noah Wyle scored his first win 30 years after his first nomination for <em>ER</em>. Meanwhile, Adolescence delivered where it counted, with 15-year-old Owen Cooper making history as the youngest-ever winner in his category. Elsewhere, Hannah Einbinder claimed her first Emmy after three consecutive nominations for Hacks, and Jeff Hiller’s performance in Somebody Somewhere got long-deserved recognition. There was also a greatly deserved nod for Cristin Milioti ended up with a win for her role in The Penguin. Adolescence hit the jackpot again with Stephen Graham‘s powerhouse performance also being recognized.
