Watch: Emmys 2025: What John Oliver Said That Got Bleeped During Acceptance SpeechSydney Sweeney's jeans controversy just got the Emmys treatment. While hosting the 2025 Emmy Awards, Nate Bargatze folded in a joke about American Eagle's ad starring the Euphoria star-a campaign that sparked backlash, with critics alleging that it promoted eugenics. "I have a blue jean tux on for some reason," the comedian said onstage at the Sept. 14 show. "Do we have like, a joke, there's a cummerbund and I forgot what it- I don't know. Alright. Please welcome two-time Emmy nominee Sydney Sweeney." Wearing a custom, strapless, red satin Oscar de la Renta gown, the Anyone But You actress then walked out onstage without responding to Bargatze's denim dig. Instead, Sweeney-who has yet to directly respond to the scandal-kept the focus on the ceremony, presenting the Emmys for Best Supporting Actor in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie to winner Owen Cooper from Adolescence.
