The 77th Primetime Emmy Awards brought a mix of triumphs, surprises, and heartfelt firsts to Los Angeles’s Peacock Theater on Sunday night. The evening was alive with energy as television’s biggest names gathered, but the stories that unfolded went far beyond the glitter of the stage.

Apple TV+’s The Studio emerged as the highlight of the night, leading the comedy categories in a way few shows have ever done. In its debut season, it collected an astonishing thirteen trophies, setting a new record for the most Emmy wins by a comedy in a single year. Seth Rogen led the charge with victories as lead actor, writer, and director, sealing his status not only as the face of the series but as the creative force behind it. For longtime Emmy favorite Jean Smart, the night added another chapter to her remarkable run as she took home her fourth award for Hacks, while co-star Hannah Einbinder earned her first. Jeff Hiller’s win for Somebody Somewhere added a note of surprise, proving the comedy field is still full of unpredictability.

In the drama categories, The Pitt claimed the biggest prize of the night by taking home outstanding drama series. Its victory was an upset over front- runners like Severance and The White Lotus, signaling that television audiences and critics are still open to being swayed by the intimacy of a well-executed medical drama. Noah Wyle, whose career spans decades, finally received his first Emmy with a win for lead actor in a drama. His acceptance speech reflected the relief of a veteran who had long been respected but never rewarded in this way. Katherine LaNasa added to the momentum by capturing supporting actress in a drama, a result that surprised many given the stiff competition. Though Severance entered the night with the most nominations, it left with only a handful of acting awards for Britt Lower and Tramell Tillman, showing that anticipation does not always translate into dominance.

Another standout of the evening was Netflix’s Adolescence, which pushed the boundaries of what a limited series could be. Every episode was filmed in a single continuous take, a daring choice that was rewarded with six Emmys, including outstanding limited series. Stephen Graham and Erin Doherty collected acting awards for their performances, but the night truly belonged to Owen Cooper, who at just fifteen years old became the youngest male Emmy winner in history. His emotional reaction on stage was one of the defining moments of the ceremony, a reminder of how quickly the industry can be reshaped by new talent. Cristin Milioti’s win for The Penguin further highlighted the strength of anthology storytelling, giving the limited series category a particularly strong showing this year.

Beyond scripted television, the awards honored other corners of the industry that continue to thrive. The Traitors took home reality competition, while Last Week Tonight with John Oliver and The Late Show with Stephen Colbert dominated their respective variety and talk categories. These consistent winners showed that while new dramas and comedies may come and go, some formats continue to hold their ground year after year.

The night will be remembered less for predictable victories and more for the moments that carried real weight. Owen Cooper making history at fifteen, Noah Wyle finally hearing his name called after decades of work, and The Studio rewriting comedy’s record books gave the ceremony its pulse. Unexpected wins from performers like Katherine LaNasa and Jeff Hiller only added to the sense that the Emmys are never fully scripted, no matter how many odds-makers try to predict them.

In the end, the 2025 Emmys told a story about where television stands today. Bold experiments are being rewarded, young performers are stepping into the spotlight, and veteran actors are receiving long-overdue recognition. It was a night that reminded audiences why television remains one of the most dynamic storytelling mediums—and why, even after seventy-seven years, the Emmys can still surprise us.

Biggest Snubs and Surprises at the 2026 Actor Awards Nominations

Published

The nominations for the 32nd Annual Actor Awards, formerly known as the Screen Actors Guild Awards, have officially been announced. While some frontrunners strengthened their place in this year’s awards race, several high-profile names were surprisingly left out, making this year’s nominations one of the most debated in recent memory.

Announced on January 7 by Abbott Elementary star Jannelle James and Heated Rivalry actor Connie Storrie, the nominations spotlighted major contenders such as “One Battle After Another”, “Sinners”, “The Pitt”, “The Studio”, and “Adolescence”.

Dwayne Johnson was surprisingly left out, even though his performance in “The Smashing Machine” had received plenty of praise. His co-star Emily Blunt was also overlooked, despite both actors receiving nominations at other major award shows. The absence was especially notable given the strong momentum going into awards season.

Another notable omission was Cynthia Erivo, whose performance in “Wicked: For Good” had positioned her as a strong contender. While Ariana Grande earned a supporting actress nominations for reprising her role as Glinda, Erivo’s absence marked a sharp contrast to the franchise’s awards success during the 2025 awards season.

Television fans were equally shocked by the lack of individual nominations for Kristen Bell in “Nobody Wants This” and Jeremy Allen White, who was overlooked both for “The Bear” and his portrayal of Bruce Springsteen in “Deliver Me from Nowhere.”

Veteran actors George Clooney and Adam Sandler received no recognition for “Jay Kelly,”despite widespread expectations.

International cinema didn’t fare much better, as Joachim Trier’s “Sentimental Value” is widely regarded as an awards-season favorite, failed to secure acting nominations for its ensemble cast, including Elle Fanning and Renate Reinsve.

While some omissions disappointed fans, several unexpected nominations injected excitement into the list, Kate Hudson emerged as one of the surprises, earning a lead actress nomination for “Song Sung Blue,” breaking into one of the most competitive categories of the year.

Miles Caton had two nominations for “Sinners,” coming right after his Critics Choice Award win. At just 20 years old, Caton’s riding success signals a promising future in the industry.

Another pleasant shock was Odessa A’Zion, who earned recognition for “Marty Supreme,” further solidifying the film’s strong showing alongside lead actor Timothée Chalamet. Jesse Plemons also defied expectations with a lead actor nominations for his role in “Bugonia,” emerging as a potential dark-horse contender.

On the television side, “Stranger Things” received rare recognition in the stunt ensemble category for its final season, while Taylor Sheridan’s Landman surprised with nominations for both drama ensemble and stunt performance after being largely ignored elsewhere.

Perhaps the impressive breakthrough came from Chase Infiniti, whose performance in “One Battle After Another” earned widespread recognition. The film earned nominations in almost every acting category, marking Infiniti as one of the season’s most promising new talents.

Awards Season Heats Up

With the Actor Awards ceremony set to stream live on Netflix on March 1, these nominations have set the stage for what promises to be an exciting and closely watched awards season.

Anok Yai Just Won Model of the Year at the Fashion Awards

Published

Anok Yai’s recognition at the Fashion Awards came after a year where her work was everywhere across the global fashion circuit. The event at the Royal Albert Hall brought together the industry’s usual mix of designers, photographers, editors, and public figures, but her category carried particular interest because of the scale of her work over the past year. The award confirmed what has been visible across runways, campaigns and major editorials; she has been one of the most active and consistently booked models in the world.

Over the last two seasons, Yai appeared in campaigns for multiple luxury houses and major beauty brands. This solidified her status as one of fashion’s most relied-upon faces. Her presence across top publications, including repeated appearances in British VogueVogue USVogue ItaliaAnother MagazineDazed and others, showed how central she has become to editorial planning. These were not one-off features; she held recurring space in print and digital editions throughout 2024 and 2025, reflecting sustained relevance rather than periodic visibility.

Professionals who have worked with Yai have publicly spoken about her preparation and attention to detail on set. Photographers and stylists have noted in interviews that she arrives ready, understands references and adapts quickly to direction. Designers have highlighted her ability to hold the mood of a show, which is one of the reasons she appears regularly in prominent runway lineups in New York, London, Milan and Paris. This consistent performance across markets has placed her among the most in-demand models of the current era.

Her win therefore aligns with a year defined by high-profile work rather than isolated standout moments. Her runway appearances spanned several major fashion weeks; her editorial output remained steady across multiple continents; and her campaign bookings cut across both fashion and beauty sectors. These are measurable indicators of influence in an industry where longevity and volume across major platforms matter as much as visibility.

Her award reflects a documented body of work that extended across campaigns, runways and publications throughout the year. It marks her as one of the most prominent working models of the moment.
