Here's All The Pure Moments At The 2024 Emmys That I Can't Stop Talking About

The 76th Primetime Emmy Awards was a great night for nostalgia, first-time wins, and incredibly wholesome and pure moments. Here are some of my favorites that happened throughout the night:

1. Selena Gomez' reaction to John Leguizamo acknowledgement of all the Latine Emmy nominees was 100% pure and very well-deserved.

2. Bradley Whitford posted on X, a sweet tribute to his West Wing costars since he missed the Emmys.

"It breaks my heart not to be able to be with my West Wing family at the Emmys tonight or at the White House later this week to celebrate our 25th birthday, but I'm in Budapest on another White House set pretending to work for another administration. (I know. I need to work on my range.) My God, the writing on The West Wing . Those characters. Played by people I love and admire and get to be part of a family with for the rest of my life. As Janel said in her beautiful piece, it was, and somehow continues to be, a privilege. A gift."

"I'm thinking of our incredible crew. Of the hundreds of people you never saw who made this happen. I'm thinking of Aaron. Of the miracle of a brilliant writer sitting in a room and having an idea that made all of this possible. And I'm thinking of John Spencer. Of how much we miss him. Of what a kick he would have gotten out of tonight. The farther away from the show I get,the more grateful I am to have been a part of it. I'm proud of its ongoing legacy that celebrates hope and public service in a world that can no longer afford cynicism and despair."

"So what's next? To celebrate our anniversary, I hope you will check your voter registration and make a plan to vote!!!"

5. Selena Gomez, Martin Short, and Steve Martin killed their hilarious presentation so badly that I understand why it is called Only Murders in the Building.

6. Billy Crudup gushing about his wife Naomi Watts like he's a nervous high school freshman talking about the prettiest girl in the world was really sweet.

8. Taylor Zakhar Perez attended the Emmys with his mother, Antoinette Zakhar, and they looked adorably phenomenal.
