It's a big night for fans of Gilmore Girls, as the show's two biggest stars now share the stage as award presenters.

Alexis Bledel and Lauren Graham, who played the famously fast-talking mother and daughter duo Rory and Lorelai from 2000 to 2007, share a spotlight for the first time since the show's 2016 reboot - Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life.

The two joke the show "took the season of fall hostage" in what started as a small show but eventually became a phenomenon.

Two big wins in a row for Adolescence.

Jack Thorne and Stephen Graham wins for writing in a limited or anthology series.

Graham is also nominated as a leading actor in the show.

"We never expected our little programme to have such a big impact," he said.

Before his historic win, the BBC caught up with Owen Cooper as he walked the red carpet.

You can listen to what he had to say in the video above.

Owen Cooper wins the award for supporting actor in a drama series for Adolescence.

Cooper, 15, is the youngest male actor to win this award.

He says when he started drama classes he didn't expect to be in the US, "let alone here".

"I was nothing about three years ago, I'm here now," he says.

"Step out of your comfort zone a little, who cares if you get embarrassed."

Dan Gilroy wins the writing for a drama series Emmy for his work on Andor.

"I want to thank the fans who did more than watch the show, they listened, they cared," he says.

He shouts out his brothers Tony and John Gilroy, who both worked on the show.

Last Week Tonight with John Oliver wins for best scripted variety show.

Oliver accepted the award and gave a fast-talking, seemingly curse-filled speech. We have no idea what was bleeped out on the televised broadcast, but there were a few chunks of speech missing.

"That should be enough money for you," he said before running off stage as he tried to finish his victory speech before host Nate Bargatze's time limit.

It beat out SNL, the only other nominee.

We've just heard from Katherine LaNasa, who was speaking here backstage after winning the award for supporting actress.

She thanks nurses who inspired Dana Evans - her character in the medical drama The Pitt.

"Playing the role - and even just the imaginary process of being present for someone else's serious trauma - has only opened me up to, first of all, what healthcare workers are bearing for us all day, every day," she says.

British director Philip Barantini wins the Emmy for director of an anthology series for Adolescence.

It's his first win.

He thanks the writers for creating something "so raw, so urgent and absolutely necessary".

Seth Rogen wins the award for director of a comedy series for his work on The Studio.

This is his second win of the night. Earlier he won lead actor in a comedy series for the same show.

White Lotus season three stars Walton Goggins and Parker Posey presented the award.

And the challenge to keep winner speeches under time is working, Rogen was very happy to finish his speech under the time limit.

The Traitors wins the Emmy for reality competition series.

Presenter Alan Cumming accepts the award.

Host Bargatze says charity donations are now down from $100,000 to $80,000 as winners' speeches have been going over 45 seconds.

He says he's going to hold Hannah Einbinder to her promise to pay the difference in the money for her speech going over.

"I'm gonna find her later," he said.

He also notes she swore, which was bleeped out in the telecast. He says he may start a swear jar.

Hannah Einbinder wins for supporting actress in a comedy series for her portrayal of Ava Daniels in Hacks.

"This is all so punk rock," she says in a tearful speech.

As her speech was running over time, a graphic showed money coming off the charity metre (part of Nate Bargatze's hosting duties is the threat that long speeches will mean less money for charity).

Einbinder says "I'll pay the difference" as the money winds down, then adds: "Free Palestine" before leaving the stage.

Tramell Tillman from Severance wins the award for supporting actor in a drama series.

This is his first win and nomination.

Bargatze introduces the audience to two children from the Boys and Girls Club of America who are sitting in the audience.

Because of speech lengths, the number being donated has gone down to $98,000 he says. The audience nervously laughs.

Katherine LaNasa has won the Emmy for supporting actress in a comedy series for her role in medical drama The Pitt.

Catherine Zeta Jones and Jenna Ortega presented the award.

With wars going on around the world, there's little surprise some of the stars carry with them a political message.

Megan Stalter from Hacks carried a bag with the phrase "cease fire!"

And speaking with Variety on the red carpet, Javier Bardem said: "Here I am today denouncing the genocide in Gaza".
