    The Studio made history at this year's Emmy Awards with an astonishing 13 wins

    The Apple TV+ show's debut season broke the all-time record for most wins for a comedy series, taking home three more prizes than when The Bear set the record in 2023 with 10 wins


    In addition, co-creator and star Seth Rogen tied for the record of most individual Emmy wins in one night, putting him on par with Moira Demos (2016), Amy Sherman-Palladino (2018) and Dan Levy (2020). He scooped the Lead Comedy Actor prize and another for co-directing an episode titled The Oner with Evan Goldberg.

    The show also saw Seth, Evan, Frida Perez, Peter Huyck and Alex Gregory win Best Writing for a Comedy Series for The Studio's pilot episode, and the top award, Outstanding Comedy Series, adding to the nine wins the programme had notched up at last weekend's Creative Arts Ceremony, including Best Guest Actor in a Comedy Series for Bryan Cranston and awards for casting, cinematography, music supervision, sound editing and sound mixing.

    Elsewhere at the ceremony, Adolescence was another big winner, taking a total of eight awards, with six from Sunday's ceremony and two from the Creative Arts Emmys.

    The Netflix drama picked up the award for Outstanding Limited Or Anthology Series, and acting honours for Stephen Graham, Erin Doherty, and Owen Cooper, with the latter becoming the youngest male winner ever at the ceremony when he scooped the Supporting Actor in a Limited or Anthology Series prize.

    He said in his speech: "Honestly, when I started these drama classes a couple years back, I didn't expect to be even in the United States, never mind here.

    "But I think tonight proves that if you listen and you focus and you step out your comfort zone, you can achieve anything in life."

    "I was nothing about three years ago, and I'm here now."

    In addition, Philip Barantini took Best Directing for a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie and Stephen and Jack Thorne won Best Writing for a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie.

    In the drama categories, The Pitt was named Best Drama Series, and its star Noah Wyle was named Best Actor in a Drama Series, with Best Supporting Actress in a Drama Series going to co-star Katherine LaNasa.

    Tramell Tillman made history as the first black winner of the Best Supporting Actor in a Drama Series award, and his Severance co-star Britt Lower won Best Actress in a Drama Series.

    Other notable wins at this year's Emmy Awards - which were hosted by Nate Bargatze - included The Late Show with Stephen Colbert taking Best Talk Series, and Best Variety Special (Live) going to SNL50: The Anniversary Special, with showrunner Lorne Michaels noting he had picked up his first Emmy a staggering 50 years ago.

    He said: "I was younger and I had a lot of dreams about what would happen in my life, and one of my dreams was that I'd still be doing the same show for 50 years.

    "I want to thank NBC and Comcast for their support. The show was two years in the planning and they said, 'we don't care what it costs, as long as it's good.'

    "Maybe that didn't say that, maybe that's just the way I heard it. I also wanted want to thank the Academy for continuing to keep the word 'television in their name,' as long as it's in that, we'll keep showing up."
