Simon Simoudis: Adolescence, The Studio, and The Pitt Shine Bright at the 77th Emmys

The much-awaited 77th Emmy Awards took place in Los Angeles’ Peacock Theatre on September 14, 2025. A galaxy of stars descended to attend the event, and as always, it was a memorable event. I, Simon Simoudis, too eagerly await watching this event live on TV, by making sure that I don’t have anything urgent pending during those hours that could hamper my uninterrupted viewing.

Some of the names of possible winners were already doing the rounds among the Emmy ‘Clairvoyants’, and also because of the number of nominations they had received. Notable among them were ‘Severance’ and ‘The Penguin’. The former had 27 and the latter had 24 nominations. And to that list, a few more names like ‘The Studio’, the hospital drama ‘The Pitt’, ‘White Lotus’, and ‘Adolescence’ that were expected to do well. ‘Adolescence’ had the chance of throwing up the youngest male actor ever to win an Emmy. Its actor, Owen Cooper, had already earned a name for himself for his superb performance. I, Simon Simoudis, have watched this series, and I am very much impressed with this young talent.

The final results were more or less on expected lines, barring a few exceptions. A few surprises add to the spice, and that is what keeps us on the edge of our seats. 

The Final Results

Three names dominated the 77th Emmy Awards. ‘The Studio’, ‘The Pitt ’, and ‘Adolescence’, and these three walked away with maximum Awards. Let's see how many and which awards these shows bagged:

Adolescence

- Outstanding series.

- Philip Barantini for outstanding director.

- Stephen Graham for the lead actor.

- Owen Cooper for the best supporting actor.

- Erin Doherty for the best supporting actress.

The Studio

- For outstanding comedy series.

- Seth Rogen got the award for the lead actor in a comedy series.

- Seth Rogen bagged another award as the outstanding director, along with Evan Goldberg.

- The duo of Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg shared another award for outstanding writing in a comedy series; they shared this award with Peter Huyck, Alex Gregory, and Frida Perez.

The Pitt

- The award for outstanding drama series.

- Noah Wyle bagged the award for the outstanding lead actor in a drama series.

- Katherine LaNasa got the award for the outstanding supporting actor in a drama series.

Although ‘Severance’ could not live up to expectations, that does not mean it was left high and dry. It did have its share of glory on that night. ‘White Lotus’ too had disappointments despite having many nominations. 

The most talked-about award this year was that of Owen Cooper. He becomes the youngest male actor in the history of the Emmy Awards to win an award for outstanding supporting actor. Before him, this feat was accomplished by a 14-year-old Roxana Zal in 1984 for ‘Something About Amelia’. Owen Cooper, too, was just 14 when he acted in the series, although he is 15 now. I, Simon Simoudis, feel the movie world has discovered a talented young actor, and he, in my view, is going to contribute immensely in the times to come. He is a natural who wanted to become a footballer before deciding to join acting classes just two years before starting his acting career. The casting director selected him for the role without him having worked in any movie or series. The director’s instincts were not wrong.

I, Simon Simoudis, had a great time watching the Emmy Awards. It had all the thrills and excitement that made you wait for it. A chance to see your favorite stars, in fabulous attire, all in one place.

Simon Simoudis: Harbour Bridge Protest: A City Divided, A Nation Reflects

In principle, there are very few in Australia who don’t support the Palestinian cause. And why shouldn’t we? The world is watching how women and children are being killed in thousands over the last two years, in the name of revenge, and to eliminate Hamas. What Hamas did on Oct 7, 2023, was abominable. But two wrongs don’t make a right. Hamas is a designated terrorist organization, but we don’t expect responsible countries to behave like terrorists. There must be ways to tackle the problem differently, but Israel didn’t choose to explore any other option.  Killing innocent women and children is something any civilized society cannot tolerate. I, Simon Simoudis , just can’t watch those horrific videos coming out of Gaza. Bombing and starving children in the name of fighting Hamas is something the world is no longer willing to tolerate. France, Britain, and now Canada, too, have announced that they will be recognizing the state of Palestine.  The March for Unity is being organiz...

Simon Simoudis - Sydney weather rainfall

For the last 24 hours up to Friday morning, August 22, 2025, Sydney has recorded more rainfall than it normally does in the entire month of August. According to the Bureau of Meteorology, this year’s August has already been the wettest since 1998, and the last 24 hours have been the wettest day this year.  Many records have been broken, and still, much more rain is expected in the coming days. Sydney has received 82mm of rainfall in the last 24 hours, till Thursday morning, and 70mm of rain is expected. I, Simon Simoudis , have many family members living in Sydney and NSW, and I am very worried about how the coming days are going to be for them. Rivers have already breached their banks, the dams are full, and there are forecasts of more heavy rainfall. There are possibilities of severe risk to the communities. People of New South Wales have already suffered a lot because of incessant rains this month, and it seems their woes aren’t going to end soon.  There have been reports t...

Simon Simoudis: Flying Low-Cost with Jetstar

Australia's budget airline, Jetstar, has launched a sale that has seen fares as low as $29 for 24 domestic routes. It has also put international flights to places like Singapore, Bali, and Tokyo at just $129. If you're an Aussie wanting to go on holiday, or a foreigner already in Australia, or plan to be here in the near future, here is something you would not want to miss. Jetstar plans to close off the sale at 11.59 pm AEST on August 29, or even earlier if the flights sell out. Be fast, folks, before it is too late. Apart from that, Jetstar is also holding a social media contest where the winners will win a trip to the Cook Islands. To me, Simon Simoudis , that was surprising. Because a few weeks back, Jetstar Asia, which is owned under the wing of Jetstar, was closed down. They had given two reasons for closing down. At first, given the rising costs, it was not feasible for them to fly at such low prices. It was becoming difficult for them to compete with other low-cost airl...
