The 2025 Emmys took place this past weekend, and Andor walked away with several wins for its final season, among many highlights for genre media across both nights of awards.
While the sci-fi series didn’t win its Best Drama or Best Directing nominations, it took home Best Writing in a Drama for “Welcome to the Rebellion”. During Saturday’s Creative Arts Emmys, the episode “Who Are You?” took home awards for Outstanding Production Design in a Narrative Period/Fantasy Drama, Picture Editing, and “Harvest” won for Fantasy/Sci-Fi Costumes. The overall season also took the win in Special Visual Effects.
Elsewhere, Severance won eight Emmys: Trammell Tillman for Best Supporting Actor in a Drama, Britt Lower for Lead Actress in a Drama, Meritt Weaver for Outstanding Guest Actress in a Drama (“Who Is Alive?”), and technical wins for Outstanding Title Design, Sound Mixing (“Cold Harbor”), Music Composition (“Cold Harbor”), Cinematography (“Hello, Ms. Cobel”), and Production Design (“Chikhai Bardo”).
HBO also got wins for The Penguin and The Last of Us: the former’s triumphs include Cristin Milioti for Lead Limited Series/Anthology Actress and Mick Giacchino for Music Composition, and Contemporary Makeup (both prosthetic and non-prosthetic) for the episodes “Cent’anni” and “After Hours.” The Last of Us’ technical win was for sound editing in the episode “Through the Valley.”
