The 2025 Emmy Awards were a star-studded affair, but some notable names — including nominees — missed out on the awards show.
Jeremy Allen White, who was up for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series, didn’t walk the Emmys red carpet on Sunday, September 14, for the first time since Hulu’s The Bear premiered in June 2022. This was also the first year since the show’s inception that he didn’t take home the lead actor award, which went to Seth Rogen for his role as Matt Remick in The Studio.
White’s costar Ayo Edebiri, who was also up for an award this year, didn’t attend the ceremony either, but The Bear fans saw Ebon Moss-Bachrach, Abby Elliott and other cast members grace the event.
Eric Dane, meanwhile, was set to make his first major appearance at the Emmys since announcing his ALS diagnosis in April. The actor was expected to appear alongside former Grey’s Anatomy costar Jesse Williams, but when it came time to present, Williams appeared on the stage solo.
