Severance star Tramell Tillman made history on Sunday night at the 2025 Emmy Awards, becoming the first Black man to ever win the best supporting actor in a drama series Emmy.

Tillman, who this year received his first Emmy nomination and win, was nominated alongside Zach Cherry (Severance), James Marsden (Paradise), John Turturro (Severance), Sam Rockwell (The White Lotus), Jason Isaacs (The White Lotus) and Walton Goggins (The White Lotus).

During his acceptance speech, Tillman, who stars as Milchick in the Apple TV+ series, said, You remember what you want to remember. You make time for what you want to make time for, do the work, show up, and most importantly, for the love of God, dont embarrass me in public.

He added, My first acting coach was tough, yall, but all great mothers are. Mama, you were there for me when no one else was and no one else would show up. Your loving kindness stays with me, and this is for you. Thank you to the Academy. I am full. I am humbled. I am honored. And as my mama would say,

look at God.'

Jude Law and Jason Bateman presented the third award of the evening, following lead actor and actress in a comedy series, which was awarded to Seth Rogen (The Studio) and Jean Smart (Hacks) respectively.
