At the 77th Emmy Awards, which took place at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles on Sunday night, the stars were out. The star-studded evening and the fierce competition demonstrated that television was outstanding this year.
With six accolades, the Netflix sensation Adolescence was one of the major winners. 15-year-old Owen Cooper, the show’s star, became the youngest male winner in the history of any acting category.
Stephen Graham, cocreator of the show, said, “This kind of thing doesn’t happen to a kid like me,” as he accepted one of his three Emmys.
Following nine victories at last week’s Creative Arts Emmys, Apple TV+’s The Studio took home four awards, including Best Comedy Series, making it the most-awarded comedy in Emmy history.
HBO Max’s The Pitt defeated Severance and The White Lotus to win three awards, including Best Drama Series. The first Black actor to win an Emmy for Best Supporting Actor in a Drama Series was Tramell Tillman from Severance.
The show was hosted by stand-up comedian Nate Bargatze, who also ran a fundraiser all night long in an innovative move to prevent the show from going on too long. He allocated $100,000 for the Boys and Girls Club of America, stating that he would deduct $1,000 for each acceptance speech that exceeded 45 seconds and add $1,000 to the total for each speech that fell short of that time.
That ultimately failed to persuade the actors to reduce the length of their speeches, so Bargatze stepped in and promised to donate $250,000 to the charity, along with $100,000 from CBS.
