Stephen Graham at The 77th Emmy Awards. CBS.

R. Scott Gemmill winning the Emmy for Best Drama Series The Pitt. The 77th Emmy Awards. CBS.

Best Drama Series

The Pitt (HBO Max)

  • Trailer

  • The show navigates through their personal crises, workplace politics, and the emotional toll of treating critically ill patients. All the while triaging the most crucial question for these workers: when do we treat the patients as a body and when do we treat them as a human being?

Best Actor in a Drama Series

Noah Wyle, The Pitt (HBO Max)

  • In the show, Wyle is noble but tormented as he presses through what he calls his hospital’s “deli of death.”

Best Actress in a Drama Series

Britt Lower, Severance (Apple TV+)

  • This season allowed us to see both sides of Lower’s character, Helly. To say any more would spoil some of the joys of the season.

Best Supporting Actor in a Drama Series

Tramell Tillman, Severance (Apple TV+)

  • In Season 2, Tillman came face-to-face with his Lumon bosses and swallowed his pride as he was demeaned in a way that was hard to watch. (Best of S2 clips).

Best Supporting Actress in a Drama Series

Katherine LaNasa, The Pitt (HBO)

  • She had a calming presence on The Pitt that centered the show’s chaos. When she gets hurt later in the show, there’s a grace that is transcendental yet tough.

Best Comedy Series

The Studio (Apple TV+)

Best Actress in a Comedy Series

Jean Smart, Hacks (HBO Max)

Best Actor in a Comedy Series

Seth Rogen, The Studio (Apple TV+)

  • He was sensational in the final episode, running around trying to rein in his boss, played by Bryan Cranston.

Best Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series

Jeff Hiller, Somebody Somewhere (HBO)

Best Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series

Hannah Einbinder, Hacks (HBO)

  • The show will end after the upcoming Season 5

Best Limited or Anthology Series

Adolescence (Netflix)

Best Actress in a Limited or Anthology Series or TV Movie

Cristin Milioti, The Penguin (HBO Max)

  • What could’ve been a typical mob heiress role, Milioti’s standout performance as Sofia Falcone in the HBO Batman spinoff was nothing short of unpredictable and explosive (scene). Whether quietly orchestrating murder or surviving something unspeakable, Milioti’s brilliance will lie in her ability to weaponize gradual silence.

Best Actor in a Limited or Anthology Series or TV Movie

Stephen Graham, Adolescence (Netflix)

Best Supporting Actor in a Limited or Anthology Series or TV Movie

Owen Cooper, Adolescence (Netflix)

  • At 15, he’s the youngest male actor to win an Emmy

Best Supporting Actress in a Limited or Anthology Series or TV Movie

Erin Doherty, Adolescence (Netflix)

Best Writing for a Comedy Series

The Studio (Apple TV+), Seth Rogen, Evan Goldberg, Peter Huyck, Alex Gregory, Frida Perez

Best Writing for a Drama Series

Andor (Disney+), Dan Gilroy

  • Full of more intrigue and subterfuge than the also amazing first season, the narrative becomes a rapid pressure cooker, and at times, it drew from past conflicts and scarily reflected our present

Best Writing for a Limited or Anthology Series or TV Movie

Adolescence (Netflix), Stephen Graham and Jack Thorne

Best Directing for a Drama Series​

Adam Randall, Slow Horses (Apple TV+)

Best Directing for a Comedy Series

Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg, The Studio (Apple TV+)

Best Directing for a Limited or Anthology Series or TV Movie

Philip Barantini, Adolescence (Netflix)

  • Barantini directed all four episodes of the series. His claustrophobic direction of the episode, where the investigators navigate the labyrinth-esque halls of the high school, is sublime

  • Barantini thanked everyone for creating something so “raw, so urgent, so necessary”

Adolescence (Netflix) won 6 Emmys tonight. The Studio (Apple TV+) took 4 Emmys, bringing its total to 13 Emmys, the most ever for a comedy series. The Pitt won 3 Emmys tonight.

HBO’s Last Week Tonight won its 8th consecutive Emmy for Writing for a Variety Series.

FX’s Dying for Sex and HBO’s The White Lotus Season 3 didn’t win any Emmys tonight.

And yes, Stephen Colbert won for Outstanding Talk Show. He thanked CBS in his speech.
