The Emmys were last night—did you hear? TV's biggest night isn't ever as glamorous as the Oscars, or as ratchet-ly marvelous as the VMAs, but it is fun in its own right. You can always count on very famous people patting other famous people's backs, overly impassioned speeches, and hilariously awkward silences after the host makes a bad joke (this year that was Jimmy Kimmel's honor).
This year was defined by the utter dominance of The People v. O.J., absolute scene-stealing by the kids from Stranger Things, and guys wearing sunglasses.

There was also a lot of other entertaining stuff that happened. Here are all of those moments, in GIFs.
Aw, Poor Jeb
LMAO Marcia Clark Got Roasted
Kate McKinnon Wins Emmy, Loses Mind
In a category with two Transparent stars and Veep's Anna Chlumsky, Kate McKinnon of Saturday Night Live pulled off a total upset win in the Best Supporting Actress in a Comedy category. (It's worth mentioning that an SNL castmember had NEVER won an Emmy for acting.) Turns out she expected it just about as much as anyone else, and really couldn't hold it together when accepting the award. It was genuine, sweet, and endearing. McKinnon's been the MVP of SNL for a few years now, so it's great to see her rewarded.
Lorne was satisfied too:

Stranger Things!
Jimmy Kimmel was very wrong for enslaving the kids from Stranger Things and making them hand out sandwiches, but whatever—all Stranger Things content is good content. (Right, the internet?)
Juice for David Schwimmer
Obama Out!
