Emmy full list of winners
The 2025 International Emmy Awards announced their winners at a gala event in New York on Monday. The 53rd edition featured 64 contenders across 16 categories, with entries from a record 26 countries. Special honours went to Disney Entertainment co-chairman Dana Walden, who received the Founders Award from producer Ryan Murphy.
Walden said the honour recognised the partnership between creators and teams who support them. She spoke about helping unique storytellers and building a culture that supports creative risks in television. Walden received a standing ovation for her contribution to global storytelling.
Dana Walden highlighted her journey with hit shows like The X-Files, Ally McBeal, 24, and The Simpsons during her acceptance speech. She said each show succeeded because strong stories connect with people everywhere. Walden also recalled supporting Ryan Murphy when Glee received weak early feedback. She said the team learned to protect bold ideas and help audiences understand fresh stories.
Walden added that great storytelling remains central to The Walt Disney Company, guided by Bob Iger’s belief that strong stories build global connections. Her remarks stressed that creative ambition and universal themes drive worldwide success.
