The 77th Primetime Emmy Awards just wrapped up in Los Angeles, where the Peacock Theater rolled out the red carpet to celebrate the best in television and streaming. Hollywood’s top actors, directors and writers gathered for a night that reshaped the TV awards landscape.

The big winners of the evening were Netflix’s Adolescence and Apple TV+’s The Studio. Also celebrating was Apple TV+’s Severance, which collected a healthy number of prizes but missed out on the top honors. Those instead went to HBO Max’s The Pitt, which pulled off a selective but powerful haul by taking fewer awards overall but capturing the most prestigious ones.

Historic wins for young and trailblazing actors

There were standout individual achievements as well. Tramell Tillman (Severance) became the first Black actor to ever win an Emmy in his category. Owen Cooper, the 15-year-old star of Adolescence, made history as the youngest Emmy winner of all time.

High-profile losers of the night

On the opposite end, The Last of Us and The White Lotus were the biggest disappointments. Despite critical acclaim and hefty nomination counts, 16 and 23 respectively, neither won a single award. FX’s The Bear, considered a strong contender with 13 nominations, also went home empty-handed.

Surprises from ‘Andor’ and ‘The Penguin’

Among the shockers was Andor, which managed to grab a key writing award. Meanwhile, DC’s The Penguin delivered one of the night’s most unexpected runs. Although Colin Farrell missed out, Cristin Milioti triumphed and the show finished with nine awards overall.
