The 77th Primetime Emmys Awards generated another slate of viral moments, from cash awards for short speeches to history-making wins and heartfelt thank yous.
This year's big winners of the night were HBO's medical drama The Pitt, Apple TV+'s Hollywood satire The Studio and Netflix's chilling psychological miniseries Adolescence.
Trammell Tillman made history as the first black man ever to win an Emmy for supporting actor in a drama series.
The Late Show host Stephen Colbert pulled off a big win after his fellow nominees in the talk show category rallied behind him following his show's abrupt cancellation.
And awards night host Nate Bargatze implored winners to keep their long-winded speeches snappy with a running gag that saw his charity donation docked if speech-givers went over their allotted time.
Here's a look at this year's big moments from the ceremony at the Peacock Theater in downtown Los Angeles.
...Colbert, whose late-night chat show The Late Show was cancelled by CBS earlier this year, offered up his vintage headshot and made a public plea for work when he took the stage as a presenter early in the telecast. He also received a standing ovation and rapturous chants of Stephen, Stephen!
Hannah Einbinder of Hacks made one of the first major political statements of the telecast, closing her speech by condemning US Immigration and Customs Enforcement and shouting Free Palestine. Elaborating on her comments about the war in Gaza backstage afterwards, Einbinder said it was her obligation as a Jewish person to distinguish Jews from the State of Israel.\
