Overview
- Hiller captured Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series at the 2025 Emmys during the CBS telecast from Los Angeles' Peacock Theater.
- The award marked his first-ever Emmy nomination and first win after decades as a character actor.
- He prevailed over Harrison Ford, Ike Barinholtz, Colman Domingo, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, Michael Urie and Bowen Yang.
- In an emotional speech, he thanked HBO, his husband Neil Goldberg, the writers and star Bridget Everett, praising the show's focus on connection and love when compassion is seen as a weakness.
- Somebody Somewhere concluded its three-season run earlier this year, and coverage framed the result as recognition of a quiet, nontraditional comedy centered on community and care.
