Overview

• Hiller won Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series on Sunday at the 2025 Emmys in Los Angeles, his first nomination and first win.
• He prevailed over a high-profile field that included Harrison Ford, Colman Domingo, Bowen Yang, Michael Urie, Ebon Moss-Bachrach and Ike Barinholtz.
• In his speech, he thanked HBO, his husband Neil Goldberg and co-star Bridget Everett, and praised the writers for a show about connection and love at a time when compassion is often dismissed.
• Fellow nominees reacted with visible delight, and Domingo later wrote that they were celebrating a colleague they admire; Hiller followed up by thanking them in an Instagram post and calling the category’s talent extraordinary.
• The quietly acclaimed series concluded its three-season run in 2024, and Hiller’s win has renewed attention to the show and to his San Antonio and Texas Lutheran University roots, highlighted in his recent memoir.
