While we’re keeping our fingers crossed, it’s also a great time to look back on some of the best Emmy moments we’ve had:

1. When Alfre Woodard won for Miss Evers’ Boys (And Jada did not hold back on who she was rooting for!)

2. When Uzo Aduba won for ‘Crazy Eyes’ in Orange Is The New Black and it gave us life!

3. When Whitney introduced Brandy and she gave the performance to remember for Cinderella 

4. When Jackée Harry made history as the first (and so far only) Black woman to win as Best Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series for 227

5. The time when Jon Stewart stuck it to censorship, and called out the response to Katrina, and everybody was here for it!
