Emmys 2025 Shocks: ‘The Pitt’ and ‘Adolescence’ Sweep as Big Names Snubbed – Full Results
A Night of Surprises at the 2025 Primetime Emmy Awards
Los Angeles, Sept. 14, 2025 – The Primetime Emmy Awards 2025 delivered a night of major surprises, as new contenders like The Pitt and Netflix’s Adolescence emerged victorious while Emmy heavyweights including Severance, The Bear, and The White Lotus were left empty-handed.
Britt Lower of Severance scored an early upset, winning Best Actress in a Drama Series over veteran Kathy Bates (Matlock), who was widely predicted to make history as the oldest winner in the category. Despite Severance earning 27 nominations and strong Creative Arts Emmy wins, the Apple TV+ hit failed to capture top prizes on CBS’s live broadcast, losing both Best Drama Actor (Adam Scott) and Best Drama Series to The Pitt.
The Pitt’ Emerges as a Breakout Winner
Max’s hospital drama The Pitt shocked audiences by clinching Best Drama Series and delivering wins for its cast, including Katherine LaNasa, who took home Best Supporting Actress in a Drama. The show’s dominance underscored its momentum as a rising Emmy powerhouse.
Jeff Hiller Stuns in Comedy Category
Perhaps the biggest shock of the night came when Somebody Somewhere actor Jeff Hiller won Best Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series, beating out heavy favorites Harrison Ford and Ike Barinholtz. The victory gave HBO an unexpected boost, though its flagship drama The White Lotus left the ceremony without a single win.
Adolescence’ Dominates Limited Series
Netflix’s Adolescence proved unstoppable in the limited series category, winning nearly every award it was nominated for, including:
-
Best Actor – Stephen Graham
-
Best Supporting Actress – Erin Doherty
-
Best Limited Series, Writing, and Directing
One of the night’s most historic moments came when 15-year-old Owen Cooper became the youngest-ever winner of Best Supporting Actor in a Limited Series. Cooper, who was just 14 when the show was filmed, delivered an emotional speech, thanking co-creator Stephen Graham and his family.
Big Names Shut Out
Two-time Emmy juggernaut The Bear suffered a complete shutout despite 13 nominations, marking a sharp decline from its earlier success. Similarly, The White Lotus failed to capture any wins during the primetime telecast, signaling a shift in Emmy voter preferences.
In the Best Variety Special (Live) category, Saturday Night Live: 50th Anniversary Special triumphed over global icons Beyoncé and Jay-Z, adding another surprise twist to the evening.
