The 77th Emmy Awards happened Sunday night, and if you missed it, don't worry - you didn't miss much. "The Studio" swept comedy, "The Pitt" dominated drama, and Stephen Colbert's still winning for doing the same show he's done for a decade.

Nate Bargatze hosted for the first time and was presumably fine. He was mostly there to fill time between awards and make awkward jokes about how long the show is.

Seth Rogen Had the Night of His Life

Seth Rogan took home Outstanding Comedy Series, Lead Actor in a Comedy Series, and sharing directing and writing wins for "The Studio." Apple TV+ threw enough money at the right people and got their prestige comedy trophy. Rogen's now an Emmy winner for playing a Hollywood executive, which is basically just him being himself with better lighting.

The Pitt Stole the Show

"The Pitt," HBO Max's newest medical drama, won Outstanding Drama Series. Noah Wyle finally got his first Emmy for Lead Actor, proving if you stick around television long enough, good things are bound to happen. Katherine LaNasa also won her first Emmy for supporting actress, and the entire cast looked thrilled to be recognized for a show that’s just getting started.

27 Nominations and Two Wins for Severance

"Severance" went in with 27 nominations - the most of any show - and walked away with just two acting wins for Britt Lower and Tramell Tillman. That's what happens when you make people wait three years between seasons.

Adolescence Wins the Limited Series Categories

Netflix's "Adolescence" cleaned up in the limited series categories, winning six awards including best limited series. Stephen Graham won lead actor, while the supporting cast swept their categories. It's the kind of British import that Emmy voters love - accents make everything seem more prestigious.

Outstanding Talk Series

"The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" won Outstanding Talk Series because apparently doing Trump jokes for eight years straight deserves recognition. The real achievement is that CBS still airs a late-night show people occasionally watch.

Comedy Categories Were a Mixed Bag

Comedy was a combination of expected wins and surprise moments. Jean Smart won Lead Actress for "Hacks" because she's Jean Smart and she's brilliant. Hannah Einbinder took Supporting Actress, making "Hacks" one of the few bright spots in an otherwise predictable night.

Jeff Hiller winning Supporting Actor for "Somebody Somewhere" was genuinely surprising and deserved. Small victories in a sea of industry back-patting.

"SNL50: The Anniversary Special" won Outstanding Variety Special while "Last Week Tonight with John Oliver" continues its streak of winning everything in the variety series categories.

Lead Actress in a Limited Series

Cristin Milioti won Lead Actress in a Limited Series for "The Penguin," which hadn't even finished airing when voting happened. That's the Emmy timeline for you - vote for shows you haven't seen based on the first few episodes and studio campaigns.

Drama Acting Categories Were Split

The drama acting categories split between "Severance" and "The Pitt," with "The White Lotus" getting completely shut out despite multiple nominations. Maybe voters got tired of rich people being horrible in exotic locations.

"The Traitors" won Reality Competition Program, beating stalwarts like "Survivor" and "The Amazing Race." Peacock finally has an Emmy winner that isn't just "The Office" reruns.

The Real Story Is What Wasn't Nominated 

Network television is basically dead in prestige categories. Streaming services dominate everything, but half their shows get canceled after winning. Apple TV+ and HBO Max traded wins like they're the only players that matter, which increasingly, they are.

"The Bear" underperformed after last year's dominance, winning just one award for Ebon Moss-Bachrach before losing to Jeff Hiller. Good. Truthfully, "The Bear" calling itself a comedy while being a anxiety-inducing drama about trauma was getting old.

A General Overview of The Night

The ceremony ran over three hours, as always. Winners gave speeches thanking agents, managers, and streaming executives. The same "surprised" faces, the same "I didn't prepare anything" lines, the same orchestra playing people off who dare to thank their families too long.

Emmy voters played it safe, rewarding established stars and expensive productions. No real surprises, no breakthrough moments, no newcomers getting their shot. Just industry people patting themselves on the back for making television that fewer people watch every year. Especially ones celebrating shows they need four different subscriptions to watch.
