HBO's medical drama "The Pit," Netflix's British drama "Adolescence," and Apple TV+'s comedy drama "The Studio" swept the major categories at the prestigious Emmy Awards in the television industry.

At the 77th Primetime Emmy Awards held at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles on September 14 (local time), "The Pit" won three awards in the drama series category: Best Drama Series, Best Actor, and Best Supporting Actress.

Director John Wells stated, "I dedicate this award to everyone working on the front lines of healthcare." The series is set in the emergency room of a large hospital in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and follows emergency medicine professor Robbie's 15-hour shift, hour by hour, across 15 episodes.

In the limited series and TV movie categories, "Adolescence" won Best Limited Series. This four-part series depicts the events that unfold after 13-year-old British middle school student Jamie Miller is arrested on suspicion of killing a classmate. In addition to Best Limited Series, it took home six awards in total, including Best Actor, Best Supporting Actress, Best Supporting Actor, Best Directing, and Best Writing.

Owen Cooper, the 15-year-old British actor who won Best Supporting Actor, became the youngest male acting award recipient. He said, "Just three years ago, I was nobody. When I started taking drama classes a few years back, I never imagined I would come to America. It truly feels like a dream."

In the comedy category, "The Studio" won Best Comedy Series. Satirizing power struggles in the American comedy industry, the drama swept a total of 13 categories, including nine Creative Arts awards, breaking the previous single-season record of 11 wins set last year by "The Bear." Seth Rogen, who participated as director, producer, writer, and actor, won four awards: Best Comedy Series, Best Director, Best Actor, and Best Writing.

Apple TV+'s "Severance," produced by Fifth Season, the U.S. subsidiary of CJ ENM, was nominated in 27 categories and won a total of eight awards, including Best Actress (Britt Lower) and Best Supporting Actor (Tramell Tillman). Following its two wins for Season 1 in 2022, the series took home eight Emmy Awards for Season 2 this year.
