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.

Tramell 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 from the ceremony at the Peacock Theater in downtown Los Angeles.

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.

Cooper, 15, made Emmys history as the youngest supporting actor to win his category, delivering a heart-warming speech after giving presenter Sydney Sweeney a shy hug.

Backstage, director Philip Barantini expressed hope that the show would spark a conversation in the UK about pressing issues. Yet, its universal appeal took them by surprise.

The Studio wins big

The Hollywood satire co-created and starred in by Seth Rogen picked up several awards, completing an impressive run in its first season.

The Pitt bests Severance

HBO's The Pitt emerged victorious in the best drama series category, taking home significant awards, including outstanding drama and lead actor for Noah Wyle, who dedicated it to healthcare workers.

Host Nate Bargatze keeps speeches in check with a cheque

Bargatze's unique approach to managing speech lengths injected humor into the evening. A running tally noted how donations to the Boys and Girls Club of North America would decrease with longer acceptance speeches.
