The 77th Primetime Emmy Awards ceremony took place on Sunday at the Peacock Theatre in Los Angeles.
Comedian Nate Bargatze hosted the show. He took a unique tactic to prevent the Emmy Award winners from talking beyond their allotted time.
He planned to donate $100,000 to the Boys and Girls Club of America. But the twist was this: take away $1,000 for every second a winner went over time. Or even added $1,000 the second a winner completed his speech before the 45 seconds allotted.
By the end of the show, $350,000 had been donated to the charity. Of that, $250,000 came from Bargatze as well as $100,000 from CBS.
On the fashion front, many stars (and/or their stylists) chose not to decorate their necklines with necklaces. Except for the notable necklaces worn by “The White Lotus” stars Natasha Rothwell, Parker Posey as well as Sydney Sweeney.
Here are eight of my favorite performances from the 2025 Primetime Emmy Awards.

Snakes, snakes and more snakes. It was a trend in Las Vegas and has continued, probably because this year is the Year of the Snake.
Walton Goggins inspired his Emmy Awards outfit from a scene in the third season of The White Lotus. Where his character, Rick Hatchett, gets high and releases poisonous snakes from their cage. Goggins later told Jimmy Kimmel that he was actually bitten by a snake while filming the scene.
His jewellery, a gold ring, a bracelet and a pendant, had the ancient uroboros motif. A snake eating its own tail, symbolizing the endless cycle of destruction and rebirth.
In the pendant, the snake appeared to surround a malachite disc.
The three pieces depicting a snake were combined with a gold watch and a ring with a seal.
