Top moments from the 2025 Emmys:
An adolescent makes history
Owen Cooper, 15, shattered the Emmy record for youngest male acting winner.
The “Adolescence†star won best supporting actor in a limited or anthology series. The Netflix four-part series which traces the emotional fallout after a U.K. teenage stabbing, became a sensation, a sort of 2025 version of last year’s “Bad Reindeer.â€
In his acceptance speech, Cooper revealed he only started acting classes a few years ago and encouraged those watching to step out of their comfort zones.
“A couple years back I didn’t expect to be in the United States, let alone here. Tonight proves if you listen, you focus and you step out of your comfort zone, you can achieve anything in life. I was nothing three years ago. I’m here now,†he said.
The record for youngest male actor had previously been held by Scott Jacoby, who was 16 when he won in the supporting drama actor trophy for “The Certain Summer†in 1973. The youngest Emmy winner ever is Roxana Zal, who won a Primetime Emmy for outstanding supporting actress in a limited series in 1984 at age 14.
Cooper beat Javier Bardem, Bill Camp, Rob Delaney, Peter Sarsgaard and his “Adolescence†co-star Ashley Walters.
Stephen Colbert going out with a bang
“The Late Show With Stephen Colbert†won the award for best talk series for the first time, just months after learning it was being canceled.
In July, CBS announced it was ending the show, attributing the cause to financial reasons. The series will go off the air in May 2026.
Colbert, who has hosted his show since 2015, was gracious, thanking CBS for his shot and quoting from Prince's hit “Let's Go Crazyâ€: “If the elevator tries to bring you down/Go crazy, punch a higher floor.â€
Earlier in the night, he turned his time as award presenter into a job ad, getting a standing ovation as he approached the microphone to announce the winner of lead actor in a comedy series.
“While I have your attention, is anyone hiring? Because I've got 200 very well-qualified candidates with me here tonight. We’ll be available in June,†he said.
He then pulled out a resume and an old headshot but realized he only had the one copy. “Harrison Ford, could you get this to Spielberg?†He ran over to Ford, who seemed to promise he would.
Tramell Tillman charms
Tramell Tillman made history, but he made it all about his mom.
The “Severance†star became the first Black actor to win best supporting actor in a drama playing the creepy, unnerving Seth Milchick.
Tillman thanked his first acting coach — his mother, who was also his date.
“You remember what you want to remember. You make time for what you want to make for. Do the work. Show up. And most importantly, for the love of God, don’t embarrass me in public,†he said. “My first acting coach was tough, y’all, but all great mothers are.â€
Tillman, holding the statuette high, added: “This is for you. I am full, I am humbled, I am honored.â€
