This year’s Emmy Awards saw The Studio making history with a staggering 13 wins . The debut season of the Apple TV+ show smashed the record for the most wins for a comedy series, bagging three more awards than when The Bear set the previous record in 2023 with 10 victories. Furthermore, co-creator and star Seth Rogen equalled the record for the most individual Emmy wins in one night, joining the ranks of Moira Demos (2016), Amy Sherman-Palladino (2018) and Dan Levy (2020). He clinched the Lead Comedy Actor award and another for co-directing an episode titled The Oner alongside Evan Goldberg. The Studio also celebrated as Seth, Evan, Frida Perez, Peter Huyck and Alex Gregory scooped Best Writing for a Comedy Series for the pilot episode. The show also won the prestigious Outstanding Comedy Series award, adding to its nine wins from last weekend’s Creative Arts Ceremony, which included Best Guest Actor in a Comedy Series for Bryan Cranston and accolades for casting, cinematography, music supervision, sound editing and sound mixing. Meanwhile, Adolescence was another standout at the ceremony, racking up a total of eight awards, six from Sunday’s main event and two from the Creative Arts Emmys. The Netflix drama walked away with the award for Outstanding Limited Or Anthology Series, and acting honours went to Stephen Graham, Erin Doherty, and Owen Cooper. Cooper made history as the youngest male winner ever at the ceremony when he took home the Supporting Actor in a Limited or Anthology Series prize. In his speech, he confessed: “Honestly, when I started these drama classes a couple years back, I didn’t expect to be even in the United States, never mind here. But I think tonight proves that if you listen and you focus and you step out your comfort zone, you can achieve anything in life. I was nothing about three years ago, and I’m here now.” Moreover, Philip Barantini scooped Best Directing for a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie, while Stephen and Jack Thorne clinched Best Writing for a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie. In the drama categories, The Pitt bagged Best Drama Series, and its lead Noah Wyle was crowned Best Actor in a Drama Series, with Best Supporting Actress in a Drama Series awarded to co-star Katherine LaNasa. Tramell Tillman made history as the first black recipient of the Best Supporting Actor in a Drama Series award, and his Severance co-star Britt Lower won Best Actress in a Drama Series. Other standout victories at this year’s Emmy Awards – hosted by Nate Bargatze – included The Late Show with Stephen Colbert winning Best Talk Series, and Best Variety Special (Live) going to SNL50: The Anniversary Special, with showrunner Lorne Michaels remarking he had received his first Emmy an astonishing 50 years ago. He reflected: “I was younger and I had a lot of dreams about what would happen in my life, and one of my dreams was that I’d still be doing the same show for 50 years. “I want to thank NBC and Comcast for their support. The show was two years in the planning and they said, ‘we don’t care what it costs, as long as it’s good.'”. “Maybe that didn’t say that, maybe that’s just the way I heard it. I also wanted want to thank the Academy for continuing to keep the word ‘television in their name,’ as long as it’s in that, we’ll keep showing up.” Best Drama Series: The Pitt.
