Emmy Awards 2025 recap: The biggest winners and most memorable moments

Lauren Graham and Alexis Bledel reunited at the Emmys in a nostalgic moment for “Gilmore Girls” fans.

The actors brought the audience back to Connecticut as they posed on the red carpet together, and again when they appeared on stage in front of the iconic Stars Hollow set.

"Twenty-five years ago, a show called 'Gilmore Girls' premiered, and apparently took the season of fall hostage," Graham said on stage.

As they presented the nominees for outstanding writing for a comedy series, Graham and Bledel reverted to their mother-daughter characters and shared their quick-moving dialogue.

"We had scripts." "Great scripts." "Big scripts." "Terrifying scripts!"

This year marks the 25th anniversary of the beloved show, which was created by Amy Sherman-Palladino and Daniel Palladino.

Owen Cooper, 15, who starred in the critically acclaimed Netflix limited series "Adolescence," made history tonight by becoming the youngest winner for outstanding supporting actor in a limited/anthology series or TV movie.

"Standing up here, is just, wow, it is so surreal," Cooper said in his acceptance speech. "Honestly, when I started these drama classes a couple years back, I didn't expect to be even in the United States, never mind here."

"I think tonight proves that, if you listen and you focus and you step out of your comfort zone, you can achieve anything in life," he said.

In the four-part drama series, Cooper plays 13-year-old Jamie Miller, whose world is turned upside down when he is arrested for the murder of a teenage girl. The hit show delves into the loss of adolescence and the complexities of youth.

Also nominated in this category were: Javier Bardem, “Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story”; Bill Camp, “Presumed Innocent”; Rob Delaney, “Dying for Sex”; Peter Sarsgaard, “Presumed Innocent”; and Ashley Walters, “Adolescence.”

"Last Week Tonight with John Oliver" took home the award for the top scripted variety series, beating out fellow nominee "Saturday Night Live."

Oliver himself took the stage and gave a comedically rushed speech in order to allow more donations to the Boys & Girls Clubs of America, per host Nate Bargatze's opening rule.

Jeff Hiller won his first Emmy for outstanding supporting actor for a comedy series for his role in HBO’s “Somebody Somewhere.”

In his acceptance speech, he said the show was about “connecting and love in this time when compassion is seen as a weakness.”

“Thank you to my sweet husband and my family for never laughing at me,” Hiller said in his speech. “And most of all, thank you, [co-star] Bridget Everett. You changed my life and you told so many people to believe in themselves, and they do. Thank you."
