The 77th Annual Emmy Awards took place Sunday night and delivered emotional tributes, surprise wins, and iconic celebrations. One of the most moving moments of the evening was Phylicia Rashad’s tribute to her on-screen son, Malcolm-Jamal Warner, during the In Memoriam segment. The moment reminded viewers just how much The Cosby Show meant to generations of TV fans.
Stephen Colbert received a standing ovation when his show won Outstanding Talk Show Series. In his speech, he thanked CBS for the opportunity — despite the network’s recent announcement that it will cancel the show next year.
Beyoncé made Emmy history by winning Outstanding Costume Design for her Beyoncé Bowl Netflix special — her first Emmy win ever. Fans celebrated online, noting how long overdue the recognition was.
And in a nostalgic tribute, the Emmy Awards honored the 40th anniversary of The Golden Girls, the beloved sitcom that brought us Blanche, Rose, Dorothy, and Sophia. The show continues to resonate with new audiences four decades later.
From heartfelt moments to groundbreaking wins, this year’s Emmys were a memorable celebration of television’s past, present, and future.
