Emmys 2026: Big winners, emotional tributes and more

"The Pitt" actor Noah Wyle won the Emmy for outstanding lead actor in a drama series.

Wyle thanked his fellow nominees, including "Slow Horses" star Gary Oldman, in his acceptance speech.

"I grew up in LA. I'm a Hollywood kid. I was raised on a television, and movie theaters were my place of worship. This is all I've ever wanted to do, and this is the only club I've ever wanted to join," Wyle said. "Thank you for accepting me."

Nominees included Sterling K. Brown for "Paradise," Oldman for "Slow Horses," Mark Ruffalo for "Task" and Rufus Sewell for "The Diplomat.”

The Emmy for outstanding reality competition program went to “The Traitors.”

Also nominated were "Dancing with the Stars," "RuPaul's Drag Race," "Survivor” and "Top Chef.”

Host Alan Cumming called it "so beautiful that a show about treachery and betrayal brings people together!"

Stephen Root won the Emmy for outstanding supporting actor in a comedy series for his performance in "Widow's Bay."

Root thanked his co-stars Matthew Rhys and Kate O'Flynn and fellow nominee Harrison Ford in his acceptance speech.

Other nominees included Colman Domingo for "The Four Seasons," Paul W. Downs for "Hacks," Ford for "Shrinking," Nick Offerman for "Margo's Got Money Troubles," Michael Urie for "Shrinking" and Tyler James Williams for "Abbott Elementary."

Rhea Seehorn won the Emmy for outstanding lead actress in a drama series for her performance in “Pluribus.”

Also nominated in the category were Carrie Coon for "The Gilded Age," Chase Infiniti for "The Testaments," Keri Russell for "The Diplomat” and Zendaya for "Euphoria."

Seehorn recognized her fellow nominees in her acceptance speech, calling them “all brilliant, brilliant performances.”

She said her fellow nominee Russell “sent us a lovely gift and a card, quoting -- sadly we didn't know we would lose her so soon -- but quoting Gloria Steinem, saying, 'We are linked, not ranked.'"

“And I feel that way about all you women," Seehorn said.

Women's liberation icon Gloria Steinem died at the age of 92 earlier this month.
