Who Will Win At The Emmy Awards 2025?
The buzz is all about "Severance" clinching Best Drama Series and "The Studio" grabbing Best Comedy Series, two shows with so much momentum you can almost hear the applause already. Personally, every Emmy season feels like a homecoming for drama nerds and comedy enthusiasts, and this year’s field is a wild mix of the heart-wrenching and the hilarious. "Severance," with its mind-bending storylines and 27 nominations, feels like the show everyone you know told you to watch before spoilers ruined your week. Meanwhile, "The Pitt" might come in as the critics’ dark horse, because, let’s face it, television is weirdly emotional now, and that show landed every punch.
Comedy? "The Studio." And if you didn’t at least chuckle at Seth Rogen’s deadpan delivery, you probably muted the sound or paused for snacks at all the wrong moments. Jean Smart’s run on "Hacks" is turning into a must-see tradition: she’s up for Lead Actress again, and nobody’s complaining. On the limited series front, "Adolescence" came out of nowhere, like that British show your artsy friend recommended, only it’s actually bingeable and got real viewers talking.
But honestly? There’ll be wildcards and snubs, someone’s mom will text "HOW did my favorite lose?", and Twitter will have opinions galore. My two cents: "Severance" for drama, "The Studio" for comedy, and Kathy Bates for giving every boomer hope that reboots still matter.

Emmy Awards 2025 Date
Circle your calendar: it’s Sunday, September 14, 2025. And yes, someone in your group chat will remind you anyway (“Emmys TONIGHT, don’t miss the monologue!”). September is already full of "new season, new me" vibes, and the Emmy night gives the month that glitzy, unpredictable energy plus it’s right BEFORE all the fall premieres. Even if you’re terrible at tracking award show dates (like me, I once tuned into repeats of a show thinking it was the live event), this one’s easy: mid-September, Sunday evening, main event.
How To Watch Emmy Awards 2025?
You can catch the 77th Primetime Emmy Awards live on CBS or stream with Paramount+ assuming you don’t keep forgetting your login. Life hack: the pre-show is on CBS from 7 p.m. ET if you love red carpet looks (or just the slightly awkward interviews). If satellite TV still lives in your basement, you’re covered, but streaming is king these days. Hulu + Live TV, YouTube TV, Fubo, and DIRECTV Stream are all options, mostly reliable (unless your WiFi picks the worst possible moment for a meltdown).
Red carpet specials start at 2 p.m. PT on E!, and Pluto TV’s "Entertainment Tonight" channel always has surprises. If you’re the friend who only likes watching the highlights (guilty!), Paramount+ Essential subscribers get the full ceremony on demand the next day.
Quick guide:
-
Live broadcast: CBS (8 p.m. ET / 5 p.m. PT)
-
Streaming: Paramount+ (with Showtime for live, Essential next day)
-
Pre-show + red carpet: CBS, E!, Pluto TV
-
Cord-cutter options: Hulu + Live TV, YouTube TV, Fubo, DIRECTV Stream
Emmy Awards 2025 Host
Nate Bargatze is landing the gig this year, and he’s a fresh face for the big stage that promises a less snarky, more smart-relatable kind of comedy. If Emmy hosts were Pokémon, Bargatze is the friendly Charizard not flashy, but you trust him to keep the show in line and deliver enough straight-arrow jokes to get both your grandma and your meme-obsessed buddy grinning. Full disclosure: I saw Bargatze live once, and he turned every “dad joke” into a philosophical crisis exactly the kind of energy the Emmys sometimes need.
Expect playful riffs, gentle roasts, and plenty of self-aware nods to Hollywood’s quirks. It’s no secret: hosts set the mood, and Bargatze is bound to keep things conversational, even when the nominee speeches run long (they always do).
If you’re the sort who likes keeping score, maybe jot down your predictions or just enjoy the drama onscreen and off. The Emmys are as much about anticipation as they are about surprises. So, clear your Sunday, find your favorite snacks, get comfy, and let’s see which show climbs that glittering TV mountain this year.
