The Pitt, The Studio, and Adolescence won big across the drama, comedy, and limited series categories, respectively. But, besides the list of winners, there were several memorable moments that happened on stage, backstage, in the audience, and more. So, here's everything you might've missed at the 77th Emmy Awards: 1. First, on the red carpet, there were several standout looks, like Jenna Ortega wearing Givenchy, as part of Sarah Burton's debut collection for the fashion house. Jenna was literally dripping in jewels, coupled with a low-waisted, black maxi skirt. John Shearer / WireImage / Getty Images 2. Noah Wyle wore a midnight blue suit designed by FIGS, the company that makes the scrubs he wears on The Pitt. It was the company's first-ever custom tuxedo, with the brand sharing that "Awesome Human" was embroidered on the inner collar, which is a nod to FIGS' slogan that celebrates healthcare workers. The inside of the jacket also pointed out Noah's work in The Pitt, which earned him Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series. Kevin Mazur / Kevin Mazur/Getty Images, FIGS / Via instagram.com 3. Meanwhile, Katherine LaNasa wore a custom Jason Wu suit with accents of ceil blue, which is the standard color of nurses' scrubs in hospitals. It was a fitting tribute to healthcare workers and also her The Pitt character. Katherine went on to win Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series. Michael Buckner / Variety / Getty Images 4. Host Nate Bargatze received mixed reviews, and many were critical of the Boys & Girls Clubs of America donation counter that would display the amount of $100,000 diminishing any time an acceptance speech went over. People commented on how cutting off the speeches of winners, many of whom were first-time nominees, was extremely "tacky." CBS One X user wrote, "I can't remember a worse bit than this speeches money countdown." And another echoed their sentiments, saying, "Can we let people give speeches for the award they won? It's actually why I'm watching these things..." 5. When Britt Lower accepted her award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series for her work as Helly R./Helena in Severance, the back of her speech said, "Let me out." At one point during the series, Helly R. writes these exact words on her arms. Christopher Polk / Variety / Getty Images 6. Tramell Tillman made history at the Emmy Awards when he won Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series for his work as Seth Milchick in Severance. He became the first Black actor to win in the category. He notably thanked his mom in his acceptance speech, saying, "My first acting coach was tough, y'all, but all great mothers are. Mama, you were there for me when no one else was and no one else would show up." Christopher Polk / Variety / Getty Images 7. Owen Cooper also made history when he won Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Limited Series for his work as Jamie Miller in Adolescence. At just 15 years old, Owen became the youngest-ever male Emmy Award winner. His performance in Adolescence marked his first-ever professional acting role. In his speech, he said, "When I started these drama classes a couple of years back, I didn't expect to even be in the United States, never mind here." Kevin Winter / Getty Images 8. And before his big win, Owen Cooper was surprised by Jake Gyllenhaal, whom he has been saying is his acting hero. Jake finally got to meet Owen and presented him with a lucky duck figurine, which was something Jake was given by a friend before his first Academy Award nomination. Jake told Owen to keep it in his pocket for good luck, and Owen did just that. Netflix / Via instagram.com 9. The night before the Emmys, The Pitt cast celebrated by attending the BAFTA TV Tea Party event, and then they got a party bus, which is something Patrick Ball and the cast had been joking about doing since their Emmy nominations were announced.

Her speech was one of the most memorable of the night when she ended it with, "Go Birds, fuck ICE, and free Palestine." Afterward, while in the press room, Hannah explained why she felt it was important to say "free Palestine," saying, "It's an issue that's really close to my heart, for many reasons. I feel like it is my obligation as a Jewish person to distinguish Jews from the state of Israel. Our religion and our culture is such an important and long-standing institution that is really separate to this sort of ethnonationalist state." Christopher Polk / Varie
