![2025 Emmy Awards Winners Revealed [Updating Live]](https://celebpeek.online/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/2025-Emmy-Awards-Winners-Revealed-Updating-Live.jpg "2025 Emmy Awards Winners Revealed [Updating Live]"){kind=small}
The contenders at the 2025 Emmy Awards include some of this year’s greatest TV achievements, from the jaw-dropping power of Adolescence’s single takes to the continued hilarity of HBO Max’s Hacks. The other nominees this year also represent some wild successful swings from the major networks and streamers, with the winning shows to be revealed Sunday night on CBS.
In the Outstanding Comedy category, alums like Abbott Elementary, The Bear, and Only Murders in the Building are joined by first-time nominees Shrinking, The Studio, and Nobody Wants This. Also in the running for the last time is FX’s acclaimed What We Do in the Shadows, but unfortunately it feels unlikely the vampire comedy will take the top prize for its final season.
Competing for the Outstanding Drama Series award are a particularly grim collection of series, including end-of-the-world dramas The Last of Us, Paradise, and Andor (if you count what happened to Ghor). The shows based in our reality aren’t much more upbeat, considering the politics of The Diplomat, the medical gore of The Pitt, the spycraft of Slow Horses, and the sociopaths of The White Lotus. At least this last season of Severance had a kinda happy ending?

In 2024, Netflix had a runaway awards hit on its hands with Baby Reindeer, and for the second year in a row it looks like it’ll dominate the limited series categories again thanks to another British drama, the four-episode Adolescence. It does face some significant competition though, including the most recent season of past Emmy winner Black Mirror, the latest installment of Netflix’s Monster series, HBO’s dark The Batman spinoff The Penguin, and the acclaimed Michelle Williams-starring dramedy Dying for Sex.
Nate Bargatze (Consequence’s Comedian of the Year in 2023) will host the 2025 Emmy Awards on September 14th, airing on CBS and streaming on Paramount+ beginning at 8:00 p.m. ET/5:00 p.m. PT. Check out the list of nominees below. We’ll be updating the post with the winners live throughout the night.

Although Shenseea dominated the night with five wins, including dancehall album, collaboration and song of the year, the third annual Caribbean Music Awards certainly spread the wealth. Hosted by Majah Hype at Brooklyn’s King Theatre (Aug. 28), this year’s Caribbean Music Awards honored performers and works across reggae, dancehall, soca, R&B, gospel, bouyon, zess-steam, konpa and more, highlighting the myriad styles that have helped Caribbean music and culture remain a global force.
Thanks to his collaborations with Shenseea (“Hit & Run”) and Romain Virgo (“Been There Before”), Masicka was the second most-awarded artist of the night with four trophies. Nearly every artist who earned at least three nominations took home something, except for Nailah Blackman, Chronic Law, Kranium, Bunji Garlin, Problem Child, Trinidad Killa and Jada Kingdom — all of whom were completely shut out. Notably, all three of last year’s female artist of the year winners repeated in their respective categories, with Shenseea taking home the dancehall honor, Lila Iké snagging the reggae award and Patrice Roberts winning the soca trophy for a third consecutive year.
In addition to over 40 competitive awards, several Caribbean music legends were honored for their towering contributions to the culture. DJ Khaled and Swizz Beatz honored Bounty Killer with the lifetime achievement award, Mýa presented Sizzla with the humanitarian award, and Buju Banton celebrated Busta Rhymes with the elite icon award. Additional special honorees included Austin “Super Blue” Lyons (calypso honors), Kerwin Du Bois (producer honor), Carimi (legacy award) and Shirley Ann Cyril-Mayers (gospel honors).
Here are six of the biggest snubs and surprises from the 2025 Caribbean Music Awards.
SNUB: Chronic Law
From spinning out hits like “NY Girls” to his ongoing clash with Malie Donn, Chronic Law has been one of the buzziest names in dancehall over the past year. His slick lyricism and slinky melodies have garnered him a faithful fanbase, and, according to Jamaica Observer, he was the most-streamed artist of 2024 in JA on YouTube with over 163 million views.
All that is to say, it was quite shocking to see Chronic lose all five of his nominations. The St. Thomas-bred star earned nods for dancehall collaboration of the year (“Higher Life,” with Kranium and “St. Thomas Native,” with Popcaan), dancehall song of the year (“Higher Life”), reggae/dancehall video of the year (“Higher Life”), and male dancehall artist of the year.
Considering Shenseea, Masicka and Di Genius’ “Hit & Run” swept every category that “Higher Life” was nominated in, Chronic’s best shot at a win was in male dancehall artist of the year, where he was unfortunately up against the legendary Vybz Kartel in his comeback year. Nonetheless, Chronic Law deserved to go home with something.
SURPRISE: Rutshelle Guillaume Beats Out Joé Dwèt Filé for Konpa Honor
Joé Dwèt Filé earned a global konpa smash — and a Burna Boy remix! — with “4 Kampé,” and that should have been enough to push him over the finish line in the race for konpa artist/band of the year.
Nonetheless, Rutshelle Guillaume, who earned a top 10 hit on World Digital Song Sales last year alongside Michaël Brun and John Legend (“Safe,” No. 6), emerged victorious. All was not lost for Filé, however, considering he took home French-Caribbean artist of the year, beating out stiff competitors like Maureen and Blaiz Faiyah.
SNUB: Bunji Garlin
Let’s be real: “Carnival Contract” alone should have secured Trinbagonian soca superstar Bunji Garlin at least one win. And that’s not to mention “Carry It” and “Thousand,” which placed second and third at Trinidad’s 2025 Road March competition, respectively. Even Nicki Minaj hopped on a remix of “Carry It!”
Despite four nominations — soca song of the year (“Carnival Contract”), male soca artist of the year, soca video of the year (“Carnival Contract”) and soca performer of the year – Bunji came up short in every single race. If we had to choose one category for him to win, male soca artist of the year would have been well-deserved — and Kes would still have taken home soca performer of the year!
SURPRISE: Trinidad Killa Shut Out Despite Major Chart Success
A select few soca stars made a resounding international impact this year, and Trinidad Killa was unquestionably a part of that crop. At the top of the year, he teamed up with fellow Trinbagonian Nicki Minaj for a remix to his hit “Eskimo,” which reached No. 2 on World Digital Song Sales this spring (chart dated March 15). He later appeared on Billboard’s monthly Reggae/Dancehall Fresh Picks column with the DJ Big Skipp and Moyann-assisted “Enjoy Yourself.”
This year, Killa earned nominations for zess-steam artist of the year, the 2025 soca impact award, and best new soca artist. Realistically, no one was going to beat out Yung Bredda for the impact award, nor was anyone going to best Lady Lava for zess-steam artist of the year. Nonetheless, one would think the Barbz would rally around Killa for best new soca artist.
SNUB: Jada Kingdom
After heating up the dancehall space at the top of 2024 with her clash against Stefflon Don, Jada Kingdom unleashed one of the year’s most popular dancehall hits in “What’s Up (Big Buddy),” which earned a nod for dancehall song of the year. Also nominated alongside Govana for “Pull Over” (dancehall collaboration of the year), Twinkle was unfortunately shut out at this year’s ceremony.
Truthfully, this was Shenseea’s year, and Jada was up against her in all three of her races. It’s hard to say which category she had the strongest odds in, but it would have been nice to see Jada get some kind of award recognition this year.
SURPRISE: Buju Banton, Bugle & Damian Marley Win Reggae Collaboration of the Year
On paper, this win wasn’t too much of a surprise; Buju, Bugle and Marley are three of the most lauded voices in contemporary reggae music.
But this was a very stacked category. Romain Virgo and Masicka’s “Been There Before” was a formidable competitor (and probably a more deserving winner), and considering both Virgo and Masicka won multiple awards this year, a triumph in this category definitely wasn’t out of the question. Three-time reggae female artist of the year winner Lila Iké was also nominated twice in this category, but she likely split her votes between “Fry Plantain” (with Joey Bada$$) and “Bruises” (with Mortimer and Kabaka Pyramid). The final nominee, Imeru Tafari’s Queen Ifrica-assisted “I Love Rastafari,” also had some steam, especially since Tafari was additionally nominated for the 2025 reggae impact award.
All in all, the triumvirate of Buju, Bugle and Marley proved unbeatable in this year’s reggae collaboration of the year race.
From reggae legends like Sizzla and Buju Banton to innovative breakout stars like Lady Lava and dancehall upstarts such as Armanii, the third annual Caribbean Music Awards certainly weren’t lacking in star power and memorable performances. The Aug. 28 ceremony, which unfolded at Brooklyn’s Kings Theater ahead of a BET telecast on Sept. 12, celebrated the biggest artists and buzziest records across Caribbean music over the past year, with over 40 categories honoring genres like reggae, dancehall, soca, zess-steam, konpa, calypso, gospel and R&B.
Shenseea, who tied Masicka as this year’s most-nominated artist (seven apiece), was the night’s biggest winner, with five victories, including dancehall album, song and collaboration of the year. King of Dancehall Vybz Kartel, who kicked off 2025 with a revelatory Billboard cover story, took home three awards, including male dancehall artist of the year and music event of the year for his seismic Kingston-conquering Freedom Street concert last December. Lady Lava, whose “Ring Finger” earned an effusive co-sign from Cardi B, won the inaugural zess-steam artist of the year award, and Yung Bredda and Armanii took home this year’s impact awards for soca and dancehall, respectively.
Outside of the hardware, this year’s ceremony also featured a slew of roof-raising performances from acts such as Elephant Man, Full Blown, Lady Lava, Lila Iké, Romain Virgo and more. Although Spice and Kes were named performers of the year for dancehall and soca, respectively, neither act graced the stage. Additionally, none of the night’s special honorees (Busta Rhymes, Bounty Killer, Sizzla, Kerwin Du Bois, Shirley Ann Cyril-Mayers, Austin “Super Blue” Lyons and Carimi) performed, save for an impromptu freestyle from Bounty near the end of his lifetime achievement award acceptance speech. All of their on-stage absences were certainly felt, but this year’s Caribbean Music Awards featured a lineup that pleased music lovers across generations and genres.
Here’s Billboard’s ranking of every performance at the 2025 Caribbean Music Awards.
Romain Virgo, “Soul Provider” & “Fade Away”
For the “Voices of the Caribbean” segment, Jamaican singer-songwriter and reggae fusion artist Romain Virgo graced the stage with solid renditions of “Soul Provider” and “Fade Away,” two cuts from his 2015 Lifted LP.
While his performance certainly flaunted his vocal chops, Virgo made an interesting, if not confusing, choice to ignore his most recent album, 2024’s The Gentle Man. That record earned Virgo three awards at this year’s ceremony, including reggae album of the year, male reggae artist of the year, and reggae song of the year for the Masicka-assisted “Been There Before.” It’s always nice to honor an album anniversary, but it would have been even sweeter to see The Gentle Man get its moment in the spotlight.
Maureen, “Tic”
Maureen scored a major global hit alongside Blaiz Faiyah and DJ Glad with the shatta-inflected “Money Pull Up.” Considering we didn’t get “Hit & Run” (Shenseea, Masicka & Di Genius) or “Shake It to the Max” (Moliy, Shenseea, Skillibeng, Disco Neil and Silent Addy) performances — after all, those are probably the two biggest global Caribbean hits of the past year, alongside “The Greatest Bend Over” — it would have been nice to see “Money Pull Up” get a shining moment.
Regardless, Maureen absolutely rocked Kings Theater with a fiery rendition of 2020’s “Tic.” Complete with high-octane choreography (including the splits!) and electric stage presence sourced from music’s greatest divas, the France-based Martinican artist pulled off one of the strongest solo performances of the night. Maureen may have lost French-Caribbean artist of the year to Joé Dwèt Filé, but she still left the ceremony a winner.
Lila Iké, “Where I’m Coming From”
Similar to Virgo’s performance, Lila Iké’s part of the “Voices of the Caribbean” segment was an impressive display of her singing and performance prowess. As soon as she stepped on stage, Iké instantly enchanted every ear in Kings Theater with hef smoky, earthy timbre.
It’s always a treat to hear “Where I’m Coming From,” one of the most resonant hits from her 2020 ExPerience EP, but Iké had a slew of new music she could have performed. That night, she took home her third consecutive trophy for best female reggae artist, which coincided with her additional nominations for reggae song of the year (“Fry Plantain,” with Joey Bada$$) and reggae collaboration of the year (“Bruises,” with Mortimer & Kabaka Pyramid). Moreover, the Manchester Parish-bred star dropped her debut full-length album, Treasure Self Love, just six days before the ceremony (Aug. 22).
Virgo and Iké are two of contemporary reggae’s brightest stars and strongest voices. Hearing them amplify their newest releases would have brought the night to another level.
Lady Lava, “Ring Finger”
Between “Ring Finger” and “Bob the Builder,” most of 2025 has belonged to fast-rising Trinbagonian zess star Lady Lava. With that in mind, it’s no surprise the Cardi B-approved artist was tapped to close out the ceremony.
Donning a bright pink ball gown-esque number, Lava strutted out onstage to the tune of the humming “Ring Finger” intro, waving a wand as she turned Kings Theatre into her personal zess-steam royal court. Although her background dancers were giving their all, they were simply no match for Lava’s presence and charisma — or the infectious nature of her irresistible smash hit.
Elephant Man & Ding Dong, Opening Medley
Elephant Man and Ding Dong have ruled dancefloors around the world for two decades with “Pon de River, Pon de Bank” and “Badman Forward, Badman Pull Up,” respectively, so it only makes sense that the two dancehall icons joined forces to open the third annual Caribbean Music Awards.
Beginning his performance in the Kings Theater lobby, Elephant Man, decked out in a glitzy navy blue sweatsuit, paraded into the main theater to the tune of “Pon de River,” trailed by a procession of dancers that included Tanisha Scott, a three-time nominee for the MTV Video Music Award for best choreography. As Elephant Man made his way to the main stage, Ding Dong pulled up to perform “Badman Forward,” the song that sparked his musical breakthrough exactly 20 years ago.
The two artists then performed their “Dip Again” collaboration before trading solo cuts back and forth. Elephant Man delivered raucous renditions of “Nuh Linga” and “Signal de Plane,” while Ding Dong tore through “Ravers Gas” and “Happiness.” With unwavering energy and a catalog-traversing medley, Elephant Man and Ding Dong perfectly set the tone for the rest of the ceremony.
Full Blown, Machel Montano & Ayetian, Big Links Riddim Medley
Outside of “Shake It to the Max,” no Caribbean song dominated the globe like Yung Bredda’s “The Greatest Bend Over,” which appears on Full Blown’s wildly successful “Big Links” riddim.
Although Yung Bredda, this year’s soca impact award winner, was not in attendance, that didn’t stop the sibling production duo from delivering the night’s best performance. Kicking things off with their own “Good Spirits,” Full Blown turned Kings Theater into a backyard family gathering, complete with folding tables, plastic cups and all. Keeping things focused on the “Big Links” riddim, the duo then brought out Machel Montano for a surprise performance of “The Truth,” which gave way to another surprise — this time, one from Machel himself.
In a smart riff on the lyrics and title of “The Truth,” the current King of Soca surprised the Caribbean Music Awards with Ayetian, one of the hottest new names in dancehall. Together, the pair performed their hit “Truth and Balance,” bridging multiple generations of soca and dancehall stars, before closing things out with a theater-wide sing-along of “The Greatest Bend Over.” Sure, surprise performers are a low-key cheat code, but that only works when those performers deliver a set that immediately lives up to that hype — and that’s exactly what Full Blown accomplished alongside Machel and Ayetian at the Aug. 28 ceremony.

We did it! Well, almost. It’s just a few days until we finally learn who won the “Severance”/ “The Pitt” smackdown… and this weekend’s Creative Arts Emmys only added to the intrigue: Shawn Hatosy won guest actor for “The Pitt” and Merritt Weaver was named guest actress for “Severance,” splitting those two up nicely. “Severance” has a lead on “The Pitt” when it comes to win tally so far (6 vs. 2) — but then, “The Pitt” won for the all-important casting category, perhaps showing where the acting votes are headed.
On this episode of the Variety Awards Circuit podcast we talk to Emmys host Nate Bargatze about how this sunday’s awards show is shaping up. But first, on the Roundtable, we give our final predictions in all the major emmy categories. Listen below!
This year’s Emmys, produced by Jesse Collins Entertainment, will include reunions timed to the 25th anniversary of ‘Gilmore Girls,’ with stars Lauren Graham and Alexis Bledel, as well as a 40th anniversary ‘Golden Girls’ tribute, as Reba McEntire leads a sing along of the show’s ‘Thank You for Being a Friend’ theme song.
Also, Mariska Hargitay will lead a tribute to the ‘Law & Order’ franchise, and Jeff Probst will celebrate the 50th season of ‘Survivor.’ Plus, Eric Dane and Jesse Williams will help mark the 20th anniversary of ‘Grey’s Anatomy.’
As for Bargatze, he’s excited to talk about his plan to keep acceptance speeches short by donating money to the Boys & Girls Club every time winners don’t go long. And he discussed the fact that he’s heading to Denver this weekend to perform standup before heading back here to host the Emmys.
“I think in my stand up, you’re along for a ride a lot more, and we don’t really veer out of it,” he says. “A night like this is going to be a little more present, a little more in the moment of what’s happening as stuff happens throughout the night. I’ve got to be prepared for anything that can happen. If you think of something funny at the moment, you’ve got to kind of trust it and just throw it out there and see if it works. It’s a lot more in the moment than my stand up is, which is very prepared and exactly I know where I’m going.”
