Stars of television shows The Pitt, The White Lotus and Hacks strutted on the red carpet on Sunday for Hollywood's Emmy Awards, where Seth Rogen's The Studio showed off a stunning run of successes.

The Studio star Seth Rogen was the first of the night to take home gold, earning the Canadian actor his first Emmy after nine career nominations. Despite going on to accept one of the night's biggest awards — for best comedy series — Rogen was grateful and flustered in his first acceptance speech. The Canadian comedian stated he'd "never won anything in [his] life" and hadn't even prepared a speech.

"I don't know what to say. This is so nice!" he said. Rogen also earned trophies for comedy directing alongside longtime collaborator and co-writer Evan Goldberg, and outstanding writing for a comedy.

The Studio came into the night with nine Emmys from last weekend's Creative Arts ceremony. With its four wins Sunday — all personally won by Rogen — it eclipsed the record of most wins for a comedy series in a single season set last year by The Bear with 11.

Severance pulled ahead early on in the night as both Tramell Tillman and Britt Lower got on the board. Tillman won best supporting actor in a drama, and immediately after was followed by Lower as she took home best lead actress in a drama — her first career nomination and first career win.

Katherine LaNasa also got a first career win, taking home best supporting actress for her role in The Pitt. The medical drama series also took best lead actor (Noah Wyle) and best drama series wins — the first and last of which helped complete a stunning shutout of The White Lotus.

Netflix's Adolescence led wins for the night with six, including an award for best directing in a limited series for Philip Barantini. That smash-hit was one of the leaders heading into the night, with 13 total nominations. Barantini's win was soon followed by the young actor Owen Cooper, who was awarded outstanding supporting actor in a limited series or movie.

"Standing up here is just, wow, it's just so surreal," he said to the second-loudest round of applause of the night as he broke the Emmy record for youngest male acting winner. The record 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.

Jack Thorne and Stephen Graham accepted another award as the show won best writing for a limited series or movie, before Graham won for best lead actor for limited series. On top of all that gold, Adolescence's Erin Doherty won for best supporting actress in the same category, while the show won best limited or anthology series.

Despite the love the crowd showed for Cooper, it was Stephen Colbert who earned the loudest applause as his The Late Show With Stephen Colbert won best talk show.

Earlier in the night he'd jokingly showed his headshot onstage in an effort to find work; the comedian's show was cancelled earlier this year, shortly after Colbert criticized his network, Paramount, for settling a lawsuit with U.S. President Donald Trump over a 60 Minutes story. The Late Show With Stephen Colbert will end its run in May 2026.

While Paramount denied the cancellation was related to Colbert's comments, and instead cited financial reasons, the L.A. crowd seemed to see the award (Colbert's second, after a directing award last week) as a repudiation, chanting his name and delivering a standing ovation.
