It was an unforgettable evening for the television sector of Hollywood — and the excitement unfolded even when the cameras were off.

Held at the Peacock Theatre in Los Angeles on Sunday, September 14, the 2025 Emmy Awards united the most celebrated actors and actresses of the year, culminating in a spectacular gathering that Us Weekly witnessed firsthand.

Honoring outstanding performances and contributions behind the scenes in television, host Nate Bargatze kicked off the evening with a unique flair, enlisting three members from Saturday Night Live (Bowen Yang, Austin Johnson, and Mikey Day) to create an unexpected skit, launching a night filled with entertainment.

This intriguing opening set the mood — this year's Emmys were packed with surprises, especially regarding the coveted awards.
