Canadian comedian Seth Rogen just made history at the 77th Primetime Emmy Awards by becoming the first winner of the night. He snagged the Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series trophy for his hilarious role in the Apple TV+ hit ‘The Studio’.
Rogen plays Matt Remick, the fresh-faced boss of Continental Studios, who’s constantly juggling cutthroat corporate pressures and the wild world of Hollywood creativity. The show, which Rogen co-created with Evan Goldberg, Peter Huyck, Alex Gregory, and Frida Perez, dropped on March 26, 2025, and has already racked up a whopping 23 Emmy nominations. Fans and critics love its sharp satire on the entertainment industry—it’s sitting pretty with a 93% score on Rotten Tomatoes. No wonder Apple TV+ renewed it for a second season right after the buzz hit.
‘The Studio’ boasts an all-star cast that keeps things electric. Catherine O’Hara, Ike Barinholtz, Chase Sui Wonders, and Kathryn Hahn lead the pack, with fun cameos from big names like Martin Scorsese, Charlize Theron, and Ron Howard. Rogen’s spot-on performance as the overwhelmed studio head has everyone talking about how it nails the chaos behind the glamour.
This year’s Emmys are all about the streaming boom. Shows from Apple TV+, Netflix, and Amazon Prime Video scooped up most of the nods, showing how the TV world is shifting from cable to on-demand. The event celebrates everything from laugh-out-loud comedies and gripping dramas to reality TV and short-run series. It spotlights fresh faces alongside Hollywood legends, proving TV’s massive global pull in today’s entertainment scene.
The ceremony is live right now from the Peacock Theater in downtown Los Angeles, with comedian Nate Bargatze hosting the fun. You can catch it on CBS and Paramount+ worldwide, and if you’re in India, tune in via JioHotstar. Don’t miss the special moments, like Reba McEntire’s heartfelt tribute performance for the 40th anniversary of the iconic ‘The Golden Girls’.
