This year’s Emmys host, comedian Nate Bargatze, introduced a bold incentive to keep acceptance speeches short: a promised $100,000 donation to the Boys & Girls Club. It’s a refreshing twist on the usual walk-off music, tying charitable giving to speech length.

With the announcement of the 2025 Emmy nominations, viewers are presented with an impressive lineup of shows that promise exceptional entertainment. Returning favorites dominate this year’s stacked list, indicating a vibrant and dynamic television industry.
