The 77th Primetime Emmy Awards, broadcasted on Sept. 14, 2025 (PH time), from Los Angeles, California, proved to be one of the most anticipated nights in television.
This year brought groundbreaking milestones and powerful moments both on and off the stage.
Ayo Edebiri made history as the first Black woman to earn nominations for both acting and directing in the same year. Owen Cooper became the youngest-ever recipient of the award for Lead Actor in a Drama Series for his performance in Netflix’s “Adolescence.”
Even the red carpet doubled as a stage for activism, with Javier Bardem, Ruth Negga, Hannah Einbinder, Aimee Lou Wood, Chris Perfetti and Lucia Aniello wearing pins and voicing their solidarity with Palestine in speeches and interviews.
