Seth Rogen had exactly nothing to be embarrassed about on Sunday night. After winning best actor, best writing and best directing for a comedy series for The Studio, the Apple TV+ Hollywood sendup won best comedy series at the 2025 Emmy Awards.
“It’s getting embarrassing. I really appreciate it,” Rogen said in accepting the biggie. “In all honesty… I’ll do my best attempt at sincerity here. If you watched our show, if you appreciated our show, if you voted for our show especially, thank you very much. I’m legitimately embarrassed by how happy this makes me.
“To be standing up here with all of these people — these are the best people I know,” he continued. “And to have them spend their days with me, working with me, is truly one of the great honors of my life.”
The Studio beat out Abbott Elementary, The Bear, Hacks, Nobody Wants This, Only Murders in the Building, Shrinking and What We Do in the Shadows. The Studio had tied the record for the most nominations (23, like The Bear in 2024) in a single year for a comedy series.
Elsewhere in the genre, Jean Smart won lead actress in a comedy for Hacks, her fourth (out of four) win for playing Deborah Vance on the HBO Max series. Supporting actress went to Hannah Einbinder, Smart’s counterpart in Hacks — it was Einbinder’s first win. In a surprise, Jeff Hiller took best supporting actor in a comedy for HBO’s Somebody Somewhere.
At the 2024 Emmys, Hacks won best comedy series along with best comedy actress (Smart) and writing for a comedy series. Though it was bested by Hacks for the top prize of best comedy series, The Bear set a new record for most wins in a single season for a comedy with 11, surpassing its tally of 10 from the year before.
The 2025 Creative Arts Emmys took place last weekend; find the winners from Saturday here and from Sunday here.
