Emmy Awards 2025: All the Winners at a Glance

Adolescence, The Pitt, and The Studio dominated the night with multiple wins

By Konstantin Koos on 7 min reading time

The most important awards in the series landscape have been presented: This year's Emmy Awards took place on Sunday evening. Here you can get a compact overview of the event with its winners and nominees!

One of the big winners of the evening was undoubtedly the thriller drama "Adolescence". The Netflix hit took home a total of eight awards, including the award for "Outstanding Limited Or Anthology Series". Series star Owen Cooper is now also the youngest male Emmy-winning actor.

The comedy series "The Studio" is also a big winner. Seth Rogen was honored both as director and actor. "The Studio" received the most awards overall (13 awards). Probably the most important prize for "Outstanding Drama Series" went to "The Pitt". Other awards went to popular series such as the DC show "The Penguin" and "Severance".

One disappointment for many was the lack of consideration for the acclaimed "Star Wars" series "Andor". No actor from the series was even nominated in the major acting categories. At least one award was received for "Outstanding Writing For A Drama Series". The evening was also disappointing for the hit series "The White Lotus" and "The Bear". Both were a safe bet at previous Emmy Awards. Now, however, they were largely left empty-handed.

Here is an overview of the most important prizes at the Emmy Awards:
