“The Pitt” by HBO, a tense hospital drama, and “The Studio” by Apple TV+, a modern Hollywood crazy satire, caught the greatest honors in the 77 Emmy Awards of the star schedule on Sunday night. The three -hour ceremony was organized by Master Nate Bargatze for the first time, a discreet foot comedian who moved away from political headlines.
This is what you need to know about how the night was developed:
The ‘SNL’ stars join Bargatze to open the sketch
The members of the “Saturday Night Live” cast, James Austin Johnson, Mikey Day and Bowen Yang, joined Bargatze for an open cold that skews the modern television landscape. Bargatze, dressed in a white laboratory robe, portrayed Philo T. Farnsworth, the inventor that developed the first totally electronic television system. The scenario was historical, but the gags were contemporaries.
In the sketch, Farnsworth of Bargatze imagined a new television medium called Transmission: “A new way for these companies to lose money.” When one day he asked if one day there will be a network for whites, Farnsworth said yes: CBS. (The initialism of the network actually represents the Columbia transmission system).
Stephen Colbert Riffs on cancellation, then wins
Stephen Colbert took the stage at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles to present the nominees for the best actor of a comedy series. But first, he went to the elephant in the room: CBS’s decision to remove his night show from the air. “While I have your attention, is anyone hiring? Because I have 200 very well qualified candidates here tonight, who will be available in June,” Colbert said.
CBS announced in July that “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” would end in 2026, after more than a decade in the air. The news occurred when the parent company of CBS, Paramount, prepared to complete a fusion of great success with paratrooper, and faced scrutiny of the Federal Communications Commission of the Trump Administration.
Colbert returned to the stage hours later to accept the Emmy for exceptional Talk series.
“Sometimes, you only know how much you love something when you have a feeling, you could be losing … I have never loved my country more desperately. God bless America. Strong strong and brave, and if the elevator tries to get off, turn crazy and hit a higher floor,” Colbert told a thunderous applause.
The actor of ‘Severance’ Tramell Tillman makes history
Tramell Tillman made history as the first black man to succeed in the best cast actor in a category of dramatic series. Tillman, who stars “Severance” as corporate executor Seth Milchick, riveted the audience with his acceptance speech. He turned tribute to his “first acting coach”: his mother, who was sitting in the auditorium. Then he cited his advice for him.
“You remember what you want to remember. You have long for what you want to do. Do the job. (He dedicated his prize to his mother).
Hannah Einbinder and others advocate Gaza Cesefire
The “hacks” Hannah Einbinder star, accepting the Emmy for the best cast actress in a comedy series and with a “artists4ceasefire” red pin, closed his speech with two words: “Palestine free.” She was not the only assistant who advocated Palestinian rights and the end of the war in Gaza.
Meg Stalter, one of Einbinder’s “hacks” co -star, brought a bag that said “The high fire!” Javier Bardem, star of “Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menéndez Story”, carried a Keffiyeh and told a journalist about the red carpet that “would not work” with any entertainment company that “justifies or supports the genocide”, echoing a promise he has done with others in the industry.
The television academy chair defends PBS
Cris Abrego, the president of the Television Academy, the organization that supervises the Emmy Awards, caused cheers and applauded with comments that focused partly on the Corporation for Public Transmission (CPB), the non -profit organization that recently lost all federal funds and then announced that it closed.
The CPB distributed funds to the PBS and NPR stations throughout the country, making it what Abrego characterized as “the backbone of US public media.” He mentioned the famous PBS series “Sesame Street” and “Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood”, then criticized legislators.
“Congress voted to defuse” the CPB, Abrego told the strong boos, “and the silence of another cultural institution.”
He added: “That is a reminder of how much our work matters here, especially at this time. At a time when the division dominates the headlines, the narration of stories still has the power to unite.”
Malcolm-Jamal Warner remembered
The “The Cosby Show” star, Phylicia Rashad, opened Memoriam’s annual video package with a tribute to his former Malcolm-Jamal Warner co-star, the actor nominated for Emmy who drowned on July 20. “He remains in our hearts,” Rashad said.
The video, accompanied by a musical performance by Vince Gill and Lainey Wilson, included the names and photos of other luminaires who died in the last year, including Julian McMahon, Teri Garr, Ozzy Osbourne, Anne Burrell, Bill Moyers, George Wendt, Richard Chamberlain, Michelle Trachtenberg, John Amos, David Lynch and David Lynch and Quenincy.
“They made us believe in something bigger: the best inside us,” Rashad said.
The Ticing watch
Bargatze said at the top of the program that he planned to donate $ 100,000 to the Boys & Girls Clubs of America, but that, in an attempt to maintain each acceptance speech within the time limit, it subtracted $ 1,000 for every second that the comments of a winner went through the 45 seconds assigned. If the winner stayed low However, the time limit, said Bargatze, would put $ 1,000 per second on the board.
“It’s brutal,” said Bargatze. “What are you going to do, although? I can’t change it. This is the game I invented, and these are the rules.”
The donation count, tracked in a real -time graph at the bottom of the TV screen, bounced up and down throughout the night. HBO’s night host, John Oliver, managed to recover part of the lost cash with a fast fire speech that pronounced in the style of a auctioneer. The writing team behind “The Studio” also kept it tight.
Even so, at the end of the night, the tracker had dropped below $ 0. It was then that Bargatze said that CBS would contribute $ 100,000 and that he would kick $ 250,000 for a total donation of $ 350,000.
