Award season has officially commenced, and we got the party started with the Emmy Awards on Monday night [1]. The 70th annual award show honoured the best of the best in the TV world [2] and gave us some amazing moments that only ever happen during this time of year.

Hosts Colin Jost and Michael Che [3] got the ball rolling from the first minute and definitely didn't hold back when it came to their jokes for the night. There was not a dry eye in the house during those beautiful winning speeches — especially during Alex Borstein's heartfelt message to her children [4] while accepting her win for outstanding supporting actress in a comedy series [5].

Of course, TV lovers put their Twitter fingers to work letting everyone know exactly how they felt about everything during the show. From the show's opening number [6], surprise marriage proposals [7], or the touching salute paying tribute to the careers [8] of all the celebrities who have passed away recently, here are some of the best reactions to the 2018 Emmys.
