Major “Big” Moments

On the drama side, The Pitt pulled off a strong showing with three wins, including Best Drama Series. Noah Wyle triumphed as Best Actor in a Drama Series, while Katherine LaNasa stunned everyone with her Best Supporting Actress win over tough competition. We are glad to report that the comedy category had its share of surprises too. Jeff Hiller grabbed Best Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series for Somebody Somewhere, beating out industry legends like Harrison Ford. 

In variety and talk, The Late Show With Stephen Colbert won Best Talk Series. It was definitely an emotional moment since CBS recently announced its cancellation. The crowd chanted “Stephen! Stephen!” as he and his team took the stage.

The A-Listers That Shone Brighter Than the Stars! 

Although the Emmys is a night that belongs to the cinephiles, movie critics, and such. However, it is also a night of swoon-worthy red carpet looks that keep us coming back for more! They even tempt us to watch all the shows and movies that we might have skipped otherwise. The “naked” dresses, cropped tuxedo jackets, and gorgeous pink dresses made sure we didn’t look away even for a split second! 

Jenna Ortega’s Gothic “Naked” Dress

Jenna Ortega channeled Isabella Rossellini’s dark glamour in a Givenchy creation of pearls and gemstones. The gothic “naked” look was made with illusion fabrics straight from Sarah Burton’s Fall-Winter 2025 runway. She paired it with a skirt instead of pants, refining her goth-glam style from the Wednesday Season 2 press tour.
