The 2025 Emmy Awards are well underway and already there have been some iconic moments…
The best and worst moments from the 2025 Emmy Awards:
Host Nate Bargatze did a skit instead of an opening monologue
Nate Bargatze did more of a skit than an opening monologue but it was very funny. He posed as a scientist who was going to invent television. We have to admit though, Bowen Yang (who was also in the skit) kind of stole the show; his interruptions had impeccable comedic timing.
Jennifer Coolidge joked she should’ve been nominated
When she presented the Emmy for Best Lead Actress in a Comedy Series, Jennifer Coolidge hilariously joked that she should’ve been nominated for her work on The Pitt (she’s never been in The Pitt).
Tramell Tillman – the breakout star of Severance – won his first Emmy
Tramell Tillman won the Emmy for Best Supporting Actor in a Drama Series for his performance in Severance. The actor sweetly dedicated the award to his “Mama”.
Leanne Morgan got *very* excited about Pedro Pascal
When she presented the Emmy for Best Reality Competition Program, Leanne Morgan said that she was “so excited” that she was in the same room as Pedro Pascal. He then blew Leanne a kiss; consider us jealous.
Elizabeth Banks rightfully shouted out female directors but then it got awkward
Elizabeth Banks presented the award for Best Directing in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie. But before she did, Elizabeth called out how wonderful it was that this year five females and only one male were nominated in the category. But in an awkward, ironic moment, that one male – Philip Barantini – won.
There was a Gilmore Girls reunion
One of the best moments at the 2025 Emmys, was Lauren Graham and Alexis Bledel (aka Lorelai and Rory Gilmore) presenting together! If they lead, we will follow…
Ted Danson and Mary Steenburgen won the Bob Hope Humanitarian Award
Actors and married couple Ted Danson and Mary Steenburgen took home the Bob Hope Humanitarian Award for their impressive philanthropy efforts. Kristen Bell (Ted’s The Good Place co-star) and Michael Schur (creator of The Good Place and Man on the Inside) presented the award to Ted and Mary.
Julian McMahon and more were honoured
Julian McMahon, Teri Garr, Ozzy Osbourne, Michelle Trachtenberg, Maggie Smith, David Lynch, Quincy Jones, and more were honoured during the In Memoriam section.
The Pitt took home the coveted Best Drama Series Emmy Award
The Pitt won Best Drama Series (arguably the biggest award of the night), beating out Andor, The Diplomat, The Last of Us, Paradise, Severance, Slow Horses, and The White Lotus.
