\n\tMany of the 2025 Emmy Awards<\/a> categories went to the projected frontrunners, like The Studio and Adolescence dominating most comedy and limited series races including Outstanding Comedy Series and Limited Series, respectively. Still, there were several upsets and surprises, including the nail-biting Outstanding Drama Series victory for HBO Max\u2019s The Pitt<\/a> <\/strong>in the final minutes of Sunday\u2019s telecast.<\/p>\n

\n\tApple TV+\u2019s Severance was the most nominated program this year with 27 noms versus 13 for The Pitt, giving it the edge in the top drama race. But the medical drama, done on a modest budget \u2014 fraction of the cost of the high-concept Severance \u2014 had momentum, and last weekend landed the Casting for a Drama Series Emmy<\/a> alongside The Studio and Adolescence in the comedy and limited series fields. The casting Emmys<\/a> are considered a relatively reliable predictor of the top series winners.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Pitt\u2018s Katherine LaNasa<\/a><\/strong> brought another surprise win tonight for Supporting Actress In a Drama Series. She took the Emmy for playing Charge Nurse Dana Evans on the medical drama in her first nomination, beating out four The White Lotus performers, led by Carrie Coon, who had been projected by many pundits to win. (In another surprise, White Lotus was shut out completely tonight.)<\/p>\n

\n\tSimilarly, Severance\u2018s Britt Lower<\/a><\/strong><\/a> won for Lead Actress In a Drama Series. She won over Oscar winner Kathy Bates<\/a>, a 14-time nominee and two-time Emmy winner who had been tipped to triumph for her title role on the CBS drama Matlock. <\/p>\n

\n\tAdolescence\u2018s Stephen Graham<\/strong><\/a>, a three-time Emmy winner tonight, delivered a mild surprise in the Lead Actor in a Limited Series category. The Penguin\u2019s Colin Farrell had been tipped as a possible winner, but the category had largely been considered a toss-up between the two.<\/p>\n

\n\tWhile LaNasa, Lower and Graham still factored into a number of predictions as possible winners, Jeff Hiller<\/a><\/strong> of HBO\u2019s Somebody Somewhere did not.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn one of the night\u2019s biggest shockers, Hiller prevailed over the likes of The Studio\u2018s Ike Barinholtz, Shrinking\u2018s Harrison Ford and The Bear\u2018s previous Emmy winner Ebon Moss-Bachrach.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI feel like I\u2019m going to cry,\u201d a speechless Hiller said onstage<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe drama writing and directing categories also delivered surprises, with neither going to the two series leading the drama series Emmy race this year, Severance and The Pitt. <\/p>\n

\n\tWhile Dan Gilroy<\/strong>\u2018s writing win for Disney+\u2019s Andor over said dramas was considered a surprise, Adam Randall<\/strong>\u2018s directing victory for Slow Horses was a real shocker.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI think a lot of people were surprised, it was unexpected,\u201d Gilroy said on stage while accepting his award.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Many of the 2025 Emmy Awards categories went to the projected frontrunners, like The Studio and Adolescence dominating…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":227863,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[123069,123070,47491,30046,171,123071,123072,25900,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-227862","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-entertainment","8":"tag-awardsnews","9":"tag-britt-lower","10":"tag-emmy-awards","11":"tag-emmys","12":"tag-entertainment","13":"tag-jeff-hiller","14":"tag-kathy-bates","15":"tag-the-pitt","16":"tag-united-states","17":"tag-unitedstates","18":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115206476913141768","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/227862","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=227862"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/227862\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/227863"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=227862"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=227862"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=227862"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
