From Reba McEntire Engagement to Cate Blanchett bending for Selena Gomez: Behind the Scenes Moments that Made History at the 2025 Emmys

The 77th Emmy Awards gave plenty of viral moments on camera, like Javier Bardem's comments on the red carpet against Israel, Stephen Colbert's standing ovation, Hannah Einbinder blasting ICE and yelling "Free Gaza," and Owen Cooper's sweet speech when becoming the youngest male to ever win an Emmy at 15.
However, and as it usually happens, the best ones were the ones that happened when the gala was on commercial breaks or when the cameras were focused on stage. As a surprise to nobody, Selena Gomez, Martin Short and Steve Martin, were among the most watched and gave us some very interesting moments.
First, when Selena told fiancé Benny Blanco that Short was texting Meryl Streep after losing his Emmy to Trammel Tillman.
