Game of Thrones made history. And so did Viola Davis.
Andy Samberg made us laugh. And Tracy Morgan made us cry.
Let"s rundown the best, worst and overall most memorable moments from the 2015 Emmy Awards, shall we?
1. The Opening Number
There’s too much television! Andy Samberg opened the show with a song that focused on this topic and included cameos by Will Forte, Jon Hamm, Kerry Washington and Nathan Fillion, who mocked his own show.
2. Nun’s the Word!
Jane Lynch made a funny appearance as the mean nun from Game of Thrones, who Samberg said would chant people with long speeches off stage. Shame, shame, shame…
3. Amy Poehler Does Win!
No, never for Parks and Recreation somehow. But for always doing stuff like this and for being amazing.
4. And The Best Joke of the Night Goes To…
“Paula Deen is on this season of Dancing With the Stars,” Samberg said in his monologue. “But I have to say, if I wanted to see an intolerant lady dance, I could’ve gone to one of Kim Davis’ four weddings.”
5. A Shocking Return
We did not expect to see Tracy Morgan on stage 15 months after a car accident nearly took his life. But this speec made us laugh and cry.
6. For Lorne
Seth Meyers and Andy Samberg spent way too long on an unfunny bit about how Lorne Michaels deserves a World’s Best Boss mug.
