We’ve celebrated the nominations, predicted the winners and gotten all glammed up. Now comply with alongside all through the evening as our consultants break down the 2025 Emmy Awards.
5:32 p.m. “Severance’s” Tramell Tillman wins for supporting actor in a drama. And does what each award winner ought to do — thank his mom. (If you’re thanking your mom, the time doesn’t rely.) — M.M.
5:29 p.m. Ha! I do assume we have to have a dialog about how a lot time is being spent telling individuals to maintain their acceptance speeches quick. An excessive amount of time I concern. Somebody like LaNasa shouldn’t be shamed! I imply it’s an awards present. Give them a full minute. —M.M.
5:26 p.m. Katherine LaNasa wins supporting actress in a drama for “The Pitt”! Breaking via “The White Lotus” crowd within the class. Is that this going to be a “Pitt” sweep? — M.M.
Maaaaybe? I simply know you’re thrilled Mary for the opportunity of a “White Lotus” shutout. I puzzled if Carrie Coon and Parker Posey would cut up the vote, giving LaNasa a much-deserved trophy. — G.W.
5:22 p.m. Good is half-way to Julia Louis-Dreyfus’ six consecutive Emmys for “Veep.” — M.M.
Greater than half! That’s 4 straight for “Hacks.” She has received for each season of the present. — G.W.
5:20 p.m. Even Jean Good is like, “Enough, already.” — G.W.
Jean Good was actually within the wings — that’s how certain they had been she was going to win feminine lead in comedy. (In fact she broke her knee, so “just in case” they spared her the stroll.) —M.M.
5:18 p.m. Did Jennifer Coolidge simply make first colonoscopy joke in historical past of Emmys? — M.M.
Good factor Jennifer Coolidge isn’t profitable this 12 months. The charity fund can be within the pink. —G.W.
5:13 p.m. I’m a Bargatze agnostic. But when this plan works and retains speeches quick, he’ll go down in historical past. Possibly not like George Washington, however nonetheless … — G.W.
The half the place Bargatze has to pay extra if the speech goes beneath. I can’t wait til Harrison Ford simply waves. We actually may very well be out of right here in an hour. — M.M.
Nominees simply took on the market speeches, giving them a re-assessment. Nobody desires to remove cash from the Boys & Women Golf equipment! — G.W.

5:08 p.m. And right here’s Colbert! Life is nice. “While I have your attention, is anyone hiring?” He presents Seth Rogen of “The Studio” with the award for lead actor in a comedy. With “The Studio” vs. “Hacks,” it’s an enormous evening for fictional Hollywood. —M.M.
Nice planning on the a part of the producers. Begin the showcase with Rogen profitable an Emmy … you already know he’s going to be enjoyable … and he was, even when he didn’t know what to say. — G.W.
5:04 p.m. And it’s a skit! Echoing his “SNL” efficiency as George Washington, Bargatze is Philo T. Farnsworth, who’s the truth is referred to as the “father of television.” — M.M.
Love Bargatze leaning into that Washington sketch. Nonetheless can’t let go of “The Bear” being categorised as a comedy. It’s complicated! — G.W.
“We create a world in which a woman hosts a late night talk show. Not in real life. but on a show called ‘Hacks.’” — M.M.

4:53 p.m. What have you ever been doing to prep for this night, Glenn? I made chili and despatched my husband on a Dealer Joe’s run as a result of guac and chips are required. — M.M.
Can I come over to your own home, Mary? I would like snacks. I simply flew in from Washington the place my niece, Meghan, tied the knot with the pleasant Tommy. All I’ve in my abdomen is the rum and coke my neighbor handed me after I received house. — G.W.
Oooo. This must be enjoyable. The rum-and-coke Glenn is the most effective Glenn. Additionally, the place do you reside that neighbors simply hand you rum and cokes whenever you arrive from the airport? — M.M.
Sadly, not Jamaica … although I’m making {that a} aim must be doing this subsequent 12 months. — G.W.
4:49 p.m. Do you actually assume “The Pitt” goes to win finest drama? Over “Severance”? I really feel like that class has the chance to shock, however I bow to your odds-making monitor file. — M.M.
I picked “Severance,” Mary. It obtained 27 nominations to 13 for “The Pitt.” However upsets are sometimes rooted in feelings. And no collection provoked extra of an emotional response this 12 months. So I’d be glad to be improper and have “The Pitt” prevail. — G.W.
So you might be basically betting every approach. I confess I’m anxious to see if the not too long ago canceled “The Late Show With Stephen Colbert” wins and what Colbert should say if it does. — M.M.
Haha … no … I picked “Severance.” However “The Pitt” profitable wouldn’t be stunning. And I’d be there for it. — G.W.
4:45 p.m. Hiya, Mary! Right here we’re once more, one other Emmys, one other alternative so that you can lament that “Slow Horses” isn’t going to win finest drama collection. Not less than “Slow Horses” has received an Emmy (writing), one thing the late, nice “Better Call Saul” by no means managed to do from 53 (!) nominations.
However that’s the previous and we’re not right here to relitigate. Let’s deal with the right here and now. Did “The Pitt” wring sufficient tears to take the drama collection Emmy? Is there something left for Jean Good to say aside from “thank you” when she wins a fourth Emmy for “Hacks”? Will the historically taciturn Harrison Ford say something aside from “thank you” if he wins his first Emmy for “Shrinking”?
What questions are you mulling over as we await the ceremony to start, my buddy? — G.W.
“How’s Nate Bargatze going to do?” is the preliminary query. As I famous in an earlier column, his non-Hollywood, down-home, every-guy persona makes him fairly a departure from previous Emmy hosts. He’s additionally rigorously non-political, and has mentioned he is not going to be mentioning the latest killing of conservative influencer Charlie Kirk. Given the maelstrom of political vitriol over reactions (and non-reactions) to the tragedy, I don’t envy him strolling into this second, but when anybody can promote the necessity for, and significance of, non-politically charged leisure, it’s Bargatze.
Apart from that, I’m nonetheless holding out hope for Gary Oldman and “Slow Horses” to prevail (simply as my daughters are rooting for Pedro Pascal and “The Last of Us”) and really a lot trying ahead to seeing Kathy Bates win — I like “Matlock” and never simply because it serves as a welcome reminder that older girls deserve the identical sort of roles that older males have lengthy loved. — M.M.
