The 2025 Emmys winners list

The 77th annual Emmy Awards is a pitched battle for hardware between deep-pocketed streamers and premium cable channels.

Representing the old guard of “peak TV,” HBO netted well over 50 nominations for fan favorites like “The White Lotus,” “The Penguin” and “The Last of Us.” While broadcast networks and basic cable held their own with shows like “Abbott Elementary” and “The Bear,” the top nom-getter in television in 2025 didn’t go out over the air. “Severance” leads all shows with an impressive 27 nominations.

Comedian Nate Bargatze, emcee for the night’s events, made a vow to “avoid politics,” telling Entertainment Weekly, prior to the start of the show on Sunday evening, “I know there’s heartbreaking stuff that’s been happening right now, but I want this night to be an escape and I think that’s why I was brought on.”
