'The Pitt' and 'The Studio', the series that triumphed at the Emmys

BarcelonaThe 77th edition of the Emmy Awards will be remembered, above all, for being the night of The Studio, the Apple TV+ comedy about the inner workings of Hollywood which has won all four major comedy awards (best comedy, best actor, best screenplay, and best direction). But this Emmy gala will also be remembered as the night of the defeat of Severance (Apple TV+), which was the series with the most nominations and ended without the award for best drama, which finally went to The Pitt, HBO Max's powerful medical drama.

As the night wore on and it became clear that the awards in the drama categories would be very close, the options for Severance were languishing. The dystopian series has been left without any chance of taking home any major awards compared to The Pitt, which has won two of the most important awards: best drama and best lead actor for Noah Wyle, who is also part of the creative team of the series. Wyle, who became famous thanks to another television doctor, Dr. Carter ofEmergencies, thanked the healthcare staff for the award. In addition to these two recognitions, we must also add the award for Best Supporting Actress for Katherine La Nasa, who plays the head nurse at the hospital where the action takes place. Her win left out all the actresses in The White Lotus, which dominated the nominations in that category.

So, Severance, which was initially the big favorite, had to settle for two statuettes: Best Actress for Britt Lower, who wins the first award of her career, and Best Supporting Actor for Tramell Tillman, the first black actor to win in this category. That awards such as Best Director or Best Screenplay went to series like Slow horses and Andor, respectively, already hinted that it would not be the night of Severance.

'The Studio' does not fail

Yeah Severance He has gone home with his head bowed, The Studio has had his big party. Actor and screenwriter Seth Rogen has accumulated four statuettes: Best Actor, Best Series (he is co-creator of the comedy), Best Director, and Best Screenwriter, which he shares with Evan Goldberg (his usual collaborator), Peter Huyck, Alex Gregory, and Frida Perez. With his usual comedic tone, when he collected the first of the night's awards, Rogen said he didn't expect the recognition. "I can't believe this is happening. I didn't prepare for anything because I've never won anything in my entire life. When I was little, I bought a secondhand bowling trophy at a fair, and my parents said, 'Yeah, maybe that's the best thing you can do,'" he said.

Despite being the big night of The Studio, in comedy there have also been awards for other productions. In the category of female comic performances, full to Hacks. Jean Smart has won her fourth consecutive Emmy for this series in which she plays a veteran comedian in decline. Jewish actress Hannah Einbinder, winner of the award for best supporting actor in a comedy after four years of being nominated, ended her acceptance speech with a "Free Palestine!"

One of the big surprises of the night was the award for best supporting actor in a comedy for Jeff Hiller, from the small and tender Somebody somewhere, which has beaten names like Harrison Ford. Upon receiving the award, Hiller stated that the prize gives him faith in his career after twenty years of trying to be an actor, and that the comment that was circulating was, "You'd better go into computers."

'Adolescence', unstoppable

In the miniseries section, Adolescence It was poised to sweep the board, and it did. It took home the big prize, Best Miniseries, and three of its actors were recognized with awards: Stephen Graham for Best Lead Actor, Owen Cooper for Best Supporting Actor—at 15, he's the youngest actor to win an Emmy—and Erin Doherty for Best Supporting Actress.

Despite the dominance ofAdolescence, other productions have been able to scrape together some awards. This is the case ofThe Penguin and Cristin Milioti, who was the favorite in the Best Actress in a Miniseries category for her role as Sofia Falcone. The bets have been paid off. Completely euphoric upon receiving the award, the actress, who began her career in musical theater, ended by shouting, "I love acting!"

Tribute to Stephen Colbert

The 77th Emmy Awards have become a tribute to Stephen Colbert, Donald Trump's scourge and host of Late show with Stephen Colbert, recently canceled with controversylittle. The comedian, who was actually in charge of opening the gala, won the award for best talk show and watched as the entire audience stood up and chanted his name.

"Sometimes you don't know how much you want something until you feel like you're about to lose it. I've never loved America more than I do right now. We've just got to keep going," Colbert said, in direct reference to the turbulent times the United States is experiencing with the Trump presidency.
