The Pitt star Noah Wyle was supported by his longtime wife Sara Wells on Monday night at the 78th annual Primetime Emmy Awards, held at the Peacock Theater in downtown Los Angeles.
Wyle, 55, who plays Dr. Michael 'Robby' Robinavitch in the HBO Max medical drama, posed on the red carpet with one arm wrapped around Wells, 47.
The couple wed in 2014 and are parents to 11-year-old daughter Frances. Wyle also has a 23-year-old son, Owen, and a 20-year-old daughter, Auden, with ex-wife Tracy Warbin.
Red carpet looks
For television's biggest night, Wyle wore a silver tuxedo jacket styled with skinny black trousers, a white dress shirt and a black bow tie.
Wells wore a strapless black jeweled gown with layered diamond necklaces, a gold satin clutch and Marilyn Monroe-inspired hair.
The Pitt's Emmy dominance
The Pitt's second season led the night with 25 nominations, the most of any series, including Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series for Wyle, who won the same award last year.
The medical drama follows Robinavitch, a weary medic at the fictional Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Center, with each episode covering an intense one-hour shift. Production on the show's third season began in June and it is anticipated to premiere on HBO Max in early 2027.
Wyle addresses 'bullying' rumors
Earlier this year, Wyle, who is also an executive producer on the show, faced on-set "bullying" rumors after co-star Supriya Ganes, who played Dr. Mohan, was written off. Wyle addressed Ganes's departure in April, calling it an "inevitability" given the nature of the series.
"As always, we try to bring in new characters or promote from within as we go through these cast changes and try to keep the storylines fresh," Wyle said, noting that real-life "emergency rooms have a high revolving door."
Law & Order: SVU star and executive producer Mariska Hargitay hosted the ceremony, marking the first time a woman has hosted the Emmys in 15 years.
Widow's Bay sweeps the comedy categories
Apple TV's horror comedy Widow's Bay was the biggest winner of the night, sweeping all six categories in which it was nominated, including Outstanding Comedy Series. The show, set in a fictional New England island town afflicted by a centuries-old curse, beat Abbott Elementary, The Bear, Hacks, Margo's Got Money Troubles, Nobody Wants This, Only Murders in the Building and Shrinking.
Star Matthew Rhys made history as the first actor to win two leading acting awards in a single night, taking Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series for Widow's Bay and Outstanding Lead Actor in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie for The Beast in Me.
Kate O'Flynn won Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series for Widow's Bay, while co-star Stephen Root took Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series, beating Colman Domingo for The Four Seasons, Paul W. Downs for Hacks, Harrison Ford for Shrinking, Nick Offerman for Margo's Got Money Troubles, Michael Urie for Shrinking and Tyler James Williams for Abbott Elementary.
On Widow's Bay, Rhys plays Tom Loftis, the mayor of the town, a widower and father to a son, Evan, from his marriage to his late wife, Lauren, who is skeptical of the island's superstitions. In The Beast in Me, he plays Nile Jarvis, the son of a real estate magnate who moves next to Aggie Wiggs (Claire Danes) in Oyster Bay, New York, after allegedly killing his first wife.
The Pitt wins Drama Series and Lead Actor
The Pitt took the night's top drama honor, Outstanding Drama Series, beating The Diplomat, The Gilded Age, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, Paradise, Pluribus, Slow Horses and Your Friends and Neighbors.
Wyle won Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series, beating Sterling K. Brown for Paradise, Gary Oldman for Slow Horses, Mark Ruffalo for Task and Rufus Sewell for The Diplomat. On the series, Robinavitch deals with trauma, PTSD and unresolved post-COVID stress.
