It’s that time of year again when the television industry gathers to celebrate its brightest stars and most acclaimed shows. The 77th Emmy Awards are here, and with them comes the excitement, suspense, and maybe even a little stage fright for the nominees who’ve kept us entertained all year long.
If you’re planning to watch the show—or just want to stay in the loop—here’s a full breakdown of when, where, and how to tune in, along with key highlights on nominees and potential winners.
When and Where Are the Emmys?
The 2025 Emmy Awards will take place on Sunday, September 14, broadcasting live from the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles. The ceremony begins at 8 p.m. ET and is expected to last around three hours.
Fans have multiple viewing options this year. You can catch the awards on CBS if you prefer traditional television. For those who like streaming, the show will also be available on Paramount+, making it easy to watch from virtually anywhere.
Who’s Hosting the 2025 Emmy Awards?
The night’s host is none other than Nate Bargatze, the stand-up comedian who first won hearts through his Netflix comedy specials like The Tennessee Kid and Hello World. His career surged even further after hosting Saturday Night Live in 2023, and he returned to the SNL stage in 2024 during the landmark 50th season.
Known for his relatable humor and laid-back comedic style, Bargatze is expected to bring warmth, levity, and plenty of laughs to television’s biggest night.
This Year’s Top Nominees
The competition for Emmy gold is particularly fierce this year. Here are the standout contenders leading the nomination charts:
- Severance (Apple TV+) — 27 nominations
- The Penguin (HBO Max) — 24 nominations
- The Studio (HBO Max) — 23 nominations
- The White Lotus (HBO Max) — 23 nominations
These shows dominated the conversation throughout the year and are expected to be at the center of many key categories on Sunday night.
Who’s Likely to Win?
Predicting winners is always tricky, but some early indicators came from last weekend’s Creative Arts Emmys.
- The Studio took home nine awards, positioning it as a strong contender across multiple categories.
- The Penguin secured eight wins, further bolstering its chances on the main stage.
- Severance earned six awards, confirming its popularity with voters and fans alike.
Still, the acting categories could bring surprises. Performers like Julianne Nicholson (Hacks) and Sean Hatosy (The Pitt), both winners in guest acting roles, may signal broader recognition for their respective series.
Why This Year’s Emmys Matter
The 2025 Emmy Awards aren’t just about celebrating TV—it’s also about reflecting the state of the entertainment industry. With streaming platforms continuing to dominate nominations, traditional networks are increasingly overshadowed. Apple TV+, HBO Max, and other digital players are leading the charge, showing how quickly the industry has shifted away from cable toward on-demand viewing.
At the same time, the night offers recognition for performers, writers, and creators who’ve pushed boundaries in storytelling. Whether through psychological thrillers like Severance, gritty reimaginings like The Penguin, or ensemble dramas like The White Lotus, this year’s contenders highlight just how diverse and ambitious television has become.
Final Thoughts
As the countdown to the 77th Emmy Awards begins, fans are eager to see whether critical favorites will sweep the night—or if unexpected underdogs will surprise us all. With Nate Bargatze guiding the event, the evening promises to be filled with humor, memorable speeches, and plenty of unforgettable moments.
