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.

Adolescence sweeps its category

Stephen Graham and Jack Thorne's drama about a 13-year-old boy accused of murder dominated the miniseries category with wins for best series and for stars Owen Cooper and supporting actress Erin Doherty.

Backstage, director Philip Barantini expressed how the show aimed to spark a conversation in the UK about knife crime, underscoring its global importance.

The Studio wins big

This Hollywood satire co-created by Seth Rogen picked up several awards, truly impressive for its first season.
