Owen Cooper, 15, becomes the youngest-ever male Emmy winner, for his breakout role in Netflix mini-series Adolescence
"I was nothing about three years ago - I'm here now... Step out your comfort zone a little bit, who cares if you get embarrassed?" he says as he accepts the award
The drama dominates the Los Angeles ceremony, scooping up six trophies - here's the full list of winners
Meanwhile, Seth Rogen's comedy series The Studio takes home four awards - "I'm legitimately embarrassed by how happy this makes me," Rogan says
The Pitt also beat mega-hits like Severance and The White Lotus to scoop up the award for best drama - but Severance didn't walk away empty handed, picking up two major awards
Unusually, the ceremony ran broadly on time as host Nate Bargatze said a $100,000 charity donation would decrease for every speech longer than 45 seconds
Stars including Sydney Sweeney, Pedro Pascal and Jenna Ortega walked the red carpet - here are some of the looks

Seth Rogen takes the stage for the fourth time tonight to accept the award.
"It's getting embarrassing," he says. "I really appreciate it, in all honesty... I'm legitimately embarrassed by how happy this makes me."
Adolescence is really cleaning up tonight.
The show just took home the award for best limited series. Stephen Graham, who won for lead actor just minutes ago, accepted the prize.
"Whether or not you were the executive producer... or you were the fellow that was cleaning the toilets...we were all equal," he says of the Adolescence set.

Image source, Getty ImagesI'm speaking to Last Week Tonight's John Oliver backstage, where he's said that he is hoping The Late Show's Stephen Colbert wins the Emmy for Outstanding Host.
"I think we all want Colbert to win. I really hope that happens," says Oliver, adding that he would be upset if he didn't.
He's not the only one in the industry that has rallied around Colbert. Host Jimmy Kimmel had earlier taken out a billboard urging voters to support Colbert's show, rather than his own programme.
In July, CBS announced it was cancelling Colbert's long-running talk show, citing financial reasons. The decision came just days after Colbert criticised a settlement between CBS' parent company - Paramount Global - and President Trump, causing some Democrats and political commentators to ask if it could have been political.
Colbert has already previously won nine Emmys - and as we reported earlier, also won the award for outstanding talk series.
Watch: 'It's nice to have an outlet' when the world is difficult, says John Oliver

The Late Show with Stephen Colbert was cancelled by CBS earlier this year.
The crowd erupted into thunderous applause and chants of "Stephen, Stephen!" when Colbert takes the stage.
"I want to thank CBS for giving us the privilege of being part of the late night tradition which I hope continues long after we're no longer doing this show," he says.

He jokingly calls Tom Hanks a "woke degenerate".
It's a reference to comments made by US President Donald Trump, who recently posted on social media that Hanks was "woke and "destructive".

He won earlier tonight for writing the show.
"I'm just a mixed race kid from a block of flats," he says. "So for me to be here today in front of my peers and to be acknowledged today is the most humbling thing."
Some long speeches have caused Bargatze original donation count to nearly halve from $100,000 to $52,000.
"The in memoriam ran a little long," the host said, clarifying multiple times that he was joking.
Nate is adding money to the charity pot for short speeches, and taking cash away when award winners speak for too long.
Each year, the Emmy Awards spends a few minutes on a slideshow tribute honoring entertainers who died in the past year.
Some of those featured on the "Who We Lost" slideshow this year: Cosby Show actor Malcolm-Jamal Warner, director David Lynch, musicians Ozzy Osbourne and Quincy Jones, Gossip Girl actress Michelle Trachtenberg, and Dame Maggie Smith.
A few eagle-eyed fans on social media have spotted a hidden detail on Severance star Britt Lower's speech notes.
It has a hidden reference written on the back of it. It says "let me out" in small text facing the audience.
If you've watched you show, you know exactly what it means.

Watch: 'It means the world', says Owen Cooper on Emmy win
Owen Cooper has just walked into the press room, holding the historic Emmy award as the youngest-ever recipient of the award for lead actor in a drama series for Adolescence.
The 15-year-old looks excited and flabbergasted by the win.
"It means some much to me. It means so much to me, my family, people back home. So, you know, it's just, yeah, it just means a lot to me."
A journalist asks him how his friends would react to his win. Cooper said they might not be awake yet "because it's four in the morning at home", before adding: "They'll be all over the moon, yes."

Image source, Getty ImagesHusband and wife Ted Danson and Mary Steenburgen are receiving the 2025 Bob Hope Humanitarian award for their philanthropy, activism and "unwavering commitment to global good".
The Cheers and Curb Your Enthusiasm stars are the first couple to be honoured with the award, which was established in 2002 to recognise media figures whose philanthropic efforts reflects the spirit of the late comedian Bob Hope, according to the Television Academy.
The academy describes Danson and Steenburgen, married since 1995, as "two luminaries whose off-screen legacy shines as bright as their decades of celebrated television work".
Danson, whose other credits include The Good Place and Becker, is a longtime environmentalist and ocean conservation activist. He co-founded the American Oceans Campaign in 1987 and has supported several charities, including the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, and the Elton John AIDS Foundation.
Steenburgen, who has starred in Elf and Parenthood and won an Oscar for Melvin and Howard, has worked with Artists for a Free South Africa and No Kid Hungry, and has advocated for more arts funding in US schools.
The couple has long supported LGBTQ+ rights and co-founded the charity Angels at Risk in 2007 to combat drug and alcohol abuse among children, teenagers and their families.
Cristin Milioti wins lead actress in a limited series for her work in The Penguin.
It's her first win and nomination.
"I wrote this on the back of notes I took in therapy the other day," she says while giving her speech. "This show was a bright spot for me."

Image source, BREHMAN/EPA/ShutterstockBritish director Philip Barantini, who won the Emmy for director of an anthology series, has just been talking to the press as the Emmys pile up for Adolescence - 15-year-old star Owen Cooper having just won the award for lead actor.
Barantini says: "We made the show in a small town in the UK, in Yorkshire, and you know, we hoped that it would spark a bit of a conversation in the UK, because, you know, knife crime is a big problem there.
"And when we were developing this show, we wanted to talk about toxic masculinity and incel culture and all those things that our children are going through right now.
"And so we thought, you know, you'll do OK in the UK. And then when it came out, and it was just every single day or week, it's just something else.
"So my mind is completely blown, and I'm incredibly proud of what we've achieved and what everyone did. When everybody is on the same page, on the same train, going in the same direction on the project, then it's it's magical, that's all I can say. And it was that from day one."

Image source, CAROLINE BREHMAN/EPA/ShutterstockTalking to the press backstage, supporting actress winner Hannah Einbinder is asked about the "Free Palestine" comment she made a short while ago in her acceptance speech.
She says the issue is "really close to my heart" as she has friends working in Gaza helping pregnant women and schoolchildren in refugee camps.
"I feel like it is my obligation - as a Jewish person - to distinguish Jews from the state of Israel."
"Boycotting is an effective tool to create pressure," Einbinder says, stressing she believes that only institutions, not individuals, should be targeted.
Image source, ReutersAnother win for Last Week Tonight, which takes home the Emmy for variety series writing.
Oliver's show has won in the category every year since 2016.
Image source, Getty ImagesSaturday Night Live wins outstanding live variety special for its 50th anniversary special.
Showrunner Lorne Michaels accepts the award, flanked by cast members like Colin Jost and Bowen Yang.
"I won this award for the first time 50 years ago in 1975," he says. "I was younger and I had a lot of dreams about what would happen in my life, and not one of those dreams was that I'd still be doing the same show for the next 50 years."
The donation cheque is back up to $99,000 after a series of short speeches bumped up the total.
"Seth Rogen, like John Oliver, is the worst and added money to it," host Nate Bargatze says.
He also offers to pay for any money that was taken off the total by Owen Cooper's speech.

His show The Studio wins again for writing in a comedy series.
It's his third win of the night so far.
Writers cycled through their speeches in just a few seconds to raise more money for charity.
"Pay up Nate," they joked at the host, as their short speeches add money to the donation count.

Asked to reflect on his win, Tillman says: "I'm still processing, but I'm fortunate to be in the company of such great actors."
He goes on to thank other actors like Ossie Davis and Michael K. Williams.
