The 77th annual Emmy Awards have come and gone, and “The Studio” was the big winner of the year.

The Apple TV+ Hollywood satire became the most-awarded show of the year, picking up 13 total wins across the Primetime and Creative Arts Emmys, including best comedy series. The show came into the night with nine wins from the Creative Arts Emmys the week prior. It quickly picked up another win, with Seth Rogen scoring the statuette for best actor in a comedy series. Rogen and his longtime partner Evan Goldberg were soon back onstage, sharing in the award for directing for a comedy series. That win put the Apple TV+ comedy in the record books for the most Emmy wins for a freshman comedy series.

Rogen and Goldberg then joined Peter Huyck, Alex Gregory, and Frida Perez as they won the Emmy for best writing for a comedy, which made “The Studio” the record holder for the most-awarded comedy series in a single year at the Emmys of all time. Rogen also tied the record for most Emmys won by a single individual in one night, joining Moira Demos (2016), Amy Sherman-Palladino (2018) and Dan Levy (2020).

“Adolescence” was also a big winner in the limited series categories, picking up eight total awards this year. In addition to the show’s win for best limited series, stars Stephen Graham, Owen Cooper, and Erin Doherty scored wins for lead actor, supporting actor and supporting actress, respectively. Jack Thorne and Graham also won for best writing for a limited.

“The Penguin,” which already had eight wins from the Creative Arts Emmys, scored the win for lead actress in a limited series, which went to star Cristin Miloti.

Freshman series “The Pitt” picked up the coveted best drama series win, while Noah Wyle won the award for best actor in a drama. Earlier in the night, co-star Katherine LaNasa won for best supporting actress in a drama. Overall, the show won five Emmys for the year.

“The Late Show With Stephen Colbert” scored its first-ever win in the outstanding talk series category, fresh off the news that the show would be ending in 2026. Colbert and his team received a massive ovation with the win, with the crowd chanting “Stephen!” as the team took the stage.

Nate Bargatze hosted this years Emmys, during which he tried to keep winners within their acceptance speech time allowance by promising to deduct money from a $100,000 donation to the Boys and Girls Club for every second their speech ran long. What started as a funny bit soon grew depressing, with the total reaching -$50,000 at one point. In the end, Bargatze and CBS pledged $350,000 to the organization to close out the show.
