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

The variety show celebrating the 50th anniversary of "Saturday Night Live" won the award for outstanding live variety special.

"SNL" creator Lorne Michaels took the stage to accept the award for the show.

In his speech, Michaels joked about the show's budget, saying, "The show was two years in the planning, and they [NBC] said, we don't care what it costs, as long as it's good. Maybe they didn't say that, maybe that's just the way I heard it."

Other specials receiving nominations were "Apple Music Super Bowl LIX Halftime Show starring Kendrick Lamar,"

"Beyonce Bowl," "The Oscars" and "SNL50: The Homecoming Concert."

Stars from Sydney Sweeney and Selena Gomez to Steve Martin and Martin Short seemed to be enjoying the Emmys as they watched the award ceremony from their seats.

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.”
