Emmys 2025: Everything You Need to Know About the Awards Ceremony
The 77th Primetime Emmy Awards are fast approaching, celebrating the best in television from June 2024 to May 2025. Here's a comprehensive guide on how to watch, who's hosting, and what to expect from the Emmys 2025.
When and Where to Watch
Mark your calendars! The Emmys 2025 promises an evening of glamour and recognition. Stay tuned for the exact date of the ceremony and broadcast details.
What's Eligible?
To be eligible for an Emmy Award, a show must have premiered between June 2024 and May 2025. This ensures that the awards recognize the most recent and impactful television productions.
Awards and Recognition
A total of twenty-five awards will be presented during the ceremony. These include prestigious honors for acting, writing, and best series in drama, comedy, limited, and talk show categories. This year, Ted Danson and Mary Steenburgen will receive the Bob Hope Humanitarian Award, a special recognition of their philanthropic work.
Creative Arts Emmy Awards Highlights
Prior to the main event, the Creative Arts Emmy Awards recognized achievements in technical and guest acting categories. "The Studio" led the series with 9 wins, followed closely by "The Penguin" with 8. These early awards provide a glimpse into the potential winners of the Primetime Emmys.
Meet the Host: Nate Bargatze
This year, the Emmys will be hosted by comedian Nate Bargatze. Known for his clean and family-friendly humor, Bargatze is expected to bring a unifying and non-political approach to the ceremony. His previous hosting experience includes two appearances on "Saturday Night Live," both of which received positive reviews. CBS executives admired that he is "just trying to bring us all together."
The Hosting Decision
CBS's decision to tap Bargatze in April marks an unusually early announcement. This also signified a shift away from their late-night host, Stephen Colbert, who hosted the event in 2017, who is known for his political satire. Colbert’s late-night show was cancelled and will air its last show in May 2026.
Red Carpet Coverage
Get ready for the dazzling red carpet! E! will begin their red carpet coverage at 6 p.m. Eastern. CBS will also have its own red carpet show starting at 7 p.m. Eastern, led by "Entertainment Tonight" hosts Kevin Frazier and Nischelle Turner. The CBS red carpet show will be available to stream on the Paramount+ premium plan.
Christian Siriano's Iconic Looks
Fashion designer Christian Siriano is set to make a splash at the Emmys 2025. In addition to being a commentator on E!'s Live From E!: Countdown to the 2025 Emmys, he is also dressing several stars for the night. Siriano teased, “We made some beautiful things... I think there are going to be a few iconic moments. Maybe a couple winners. We’ll see.”
Siriano's Red Carpet History
Christian Siriano is no stranger to creating memorable red carpet looks. Last year, he dressed Liza Cólon-Zayas of The Bear, the 2024 winner for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series (who is also nominated this year), in a stunning green off-the-shoulder dress.
Fashion Inspiration from Zendaya, Tracee Ellis Ross, and Lady Gaga
The red carpet at the Emmys is always a source of fashion inspiration. Outfits from stars like Zendaya, Tracee Ellis Ross, and Lady Gaga are anticipated to set trends and showcase the latest in style. Their past red carpet moments are getting fans excited about the upcoming Emmys 2025.
