Comedian Nate Bargatze kicked off the 77th Primetime Emmy Awards at Peacock Theater in downtown Los Angeles, celebrating television’s biggest night.
The first award began with a standing ovation for comedian and television host Stephen Colbert, as he presented the Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series award — which Seth Rogen took home for “The Studio” — following the cancellation of his talk show.
As the night went on, “Adolescence” star Owen Cooper made history, becoming the youngest Emmy winner at 15 years old in the category for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie.
The award show also honored milestones for notable television shows such as “The Golden Girls” and “Law and Order.”
Actresses Lauren Graham and Alexis Bledel also reunited for the 25th anniversary of “Gilmore Girls” as the pair presented the award for Outstanding Writing for a Comedy Series to “The Studio.”
“The Studio” won big with 13 total wins and was the most awarded show of the year. The Apple TV+ comedy now holds the record for the most awarded comedy series for its first season.
Netflix’s “Adolescence” was not too far behind with big wins, as the limited series had eight wins in total, and “The Pitt” on HBO Max was awarded five Emmys in the drama series categories.
The prestigious Bob Hope Humanitarian Award was presented to actors Ted Danson and Mary Steenburgen for their devotion to philanthropy and activism for various causes.
During the “In Memoriam” segment, singers Lainey Wilson and Vince Gill performed the song “Go Rest High On That Mountain” together, remembering the lives of Malcolm-Jamal Warner, David Lynch, Ozzy Osbourne, Maggie Smith, Loni Anderson and many more.
