The Best Moments From The 2022 Emmys That Blew Up Our Group Chat

2022 Emmy Moments We Can't Stop Talking About

Sheryl Lee Ralph's emboldened speech was full of passion and love (as well as music) and we didn't want it to end.

Kenan Thompson's intro song combined some of the most iconic television show intros — from Friends to The Brady Bunch — for one giant celebration that made us want to get up and dance.

Lizzo's empowering acceptance speech highlighted her mission to make room for other people like her, and we'll admit we got a little misty-eyed.

Our Favorite Red Carpet Looks From The 2022 Emmys

With a jeweled bodice, slit skirt, and sheer gloves, this look is a triple threat of lustrous gold.

Lizzo is pulling out all the stops with this fiery high-low number.

Oscar de la Renta creates the most iconic gowns, and this scoop neck dress is no exception.

The glitter! The silhouette! The ruffle! We will never get over this.

It's giving old school glamour.

Lily looks like a Greek goddess in this glimmery Versace!
