Top moments from the ceremony
The Pitt “by HBO, a tense hospital drama, and” The Studio “by Apple TV +, a modern Hollywood Madcap satire, won the honors of the 77th Primetime Emmy Awards on Sunday evening. The three-hour ceremony was organized by the first master of ceremonies Nate Bargatze, a discreet stand-up actor who far removed from political titles.
Here is what you need to know about how night has happened:
The stars ‘SNL’ join Bargatze for the opening of the sketch
The members of the distribution of “Saturday Night Live” James Austin Johnson, Mikey Day and Bowen Yang joined Bargatze for a cold beer of the modern television landscape. Bargatze, dressed in a white laboratory blouse, represented Philo T. Farnsworth, the inventor who developed the first electronic television system. The setting was historic, but the gags were contemporary.
In the sketch, Bargatze Farnsworth has considered a new television medium called streaming – “a new way for these companies to lose money”. Questioned by a subordinate if there will one day be a network for whites, Farnsworth said yes: CBS. (Network initialism really means the Columbia broadcasting system.)
Stephen Colbert Riffs on cancellation, then wins
Stephen Colbert went on stage at the Peacock Theater of Los Angeles to present the nominees for the best actor in a comedy series. But first, he addressed the elephant in the room: CBS’s decision to withdraw his late evening show. “Although I have your attention, does anyone hire? Because I have 200 very qualified candidates here with me this evening, who will be available in June,” said Colbert.
CBS announced in July that “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” would end in 2026, after more than a decade on the air. The news came while CBS’s parent company, Paramount, prepared for a successful merger with Skydance – and was examined by the Federal Communications Commission of the Trump Administration.
Colbert returned to the stage a few hours later to accept the Emmy series for exceptional discussions.
“Sometimes you only know how much you like something when you feel that you might lose it. … I never liked my country more desperately. May God bless America. Stay hard and be courageous, and if the elevator try to make you fall, become crazy and strike a higher floor,” Colbert told thunder applause.
The “dry” actor Tramell Tillman makes the story
Tramell Tillman has entered history as the first black man to triumph in the best support actor in a category of dramatic series. Tillman, who embodies the “dryer” as head of the Seth Milchick company, competed the public with his acceptance speech. He paid tribute to his “first acting coach” – his mother, who was sitting in the auditorium. He then quoted her advice.
“You remember what you want to remember. You take time for what you want to do. Do the job. Show yourself. And above all, for the love of God, don’t kiss me in public,” said Tillman. (He dedicated his price to his mother.)
Hannah Einbinder and others defend Gaza
The star of “hacks” Hannah Einbinder, accepting the Emmy for the best support actress in a series of comedy and carrying a red pin “Artist4ceasefire”, closed her speech with two words: “Free Palestine”. She was not the only participant to plead for Palestinian rights and the end of the war in Gaza.
Meg Stalter, one of the co-stars of Einbinder’s “hacks”, wore a handbag that said “ceasefire!” Javier Bardem, star of “Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story”, wore a keffiyeh and said to a journalist on the red carpet he “does not work” with an entertainment company which “justifies or supports genocide” – echoing a commitment he made with others in the industry.
The Academy’s television chair is held for PBS
Cris Abrego, the president of the television academy, the organization that oversees the Emmy Awards, attracted applause and applause with remarks that have partially concentrated on the public broadcasting company (CPB), the non -profit organization which recently lost all federal funding and then announced that it would close it.
The CPB has distributed funding at PBS and NPR stations on a national scale, transforming it into what Greo described “the backbone of American public media”. He mentioned the famous PBS series “Sesame Street” and “Mister Rogers’ Quarter”, then the legislators.
“The Congress voted to finance” the CPB, Abrego said to the noisy huae, “and still silence another cultural institution.”
He added: “It is a reminder to what extent our work here has, especially at the moment. At a time when the division dominates the big titles, the narration always has the power to unite.”
Malcolm-Jamal Warner remembered
The star of “The Cosby Show”, Phylicia Rashad, opened the annual video package in Memoriam with a tribute to his former co-star Malcolm-Jamal Warner, the actor nominated at the Emmys who drowned on July 20. “He stays in our hearts,” said Rashad.
