The 2022 Emmys came and went, but unlike some of the other award shows this past season, it was actually pretty good! From some surprise wins that we definitely did not have on our ballots to some hilarious jokes that we still cannot believe made it onto the show, there were so many buzzy moments that the internet could not get enough of. We couldn't keep some of the best reactions to ourselves so we gathered all of them right here so we can all enjoy it and laugh together. So ready to relive some of the biggest 2022 Emmys moments?

Here are the best tweets and reactions to the 2022 Emmys.

Game of Thrones or Harry Potter?

Host Kenan Thompson decided to kick things off with a big dancing number to some of the most iconic TV theme songs (ya know, casual). But there was one that particularly stood out from the rest. A group of super hot guys got on stage with staffs and started to dance to the Game of Thrones theme song and it got people thinking about the Durmstrang boys for Harry Potter.

And it wouldn't be a GOT performance without a Targaryen-white wig. Only the one that was sporting it was none other than Kenan himself.

Hannah Einbinder is all of us when it comes to Zendaya.

Hacks star Hannah Einbinder basically took one for the team as she was presenting an award with the one and only Jean Smart. Hannah seemed nervous and was hiding behind her fellow co-star on stage. She later revealed that she was shy about presenting, but wanted the chance to be on stage since it gave her a better view of Zendaya. SAME, GIRL!

And Zendaya's reaction to the bit was just incredible and exactly what you'd expect from her.

Kenan Thompson gave us an A+ monologue.

Can we get Kenan Thompson to host every award show? Seriously, he's been one of the best to do it and we watch a lot of awards over here. And even other viewers agree, especially when it came to his monologue where no one, including Netflix and Succession, was safe.

Leonardo DiCaprio's recent breakup.

We all know by now that Leo and his recent GF, Camila Morrone, have called it quits. And while we can't 100 percent prove that it was because she just turned 25, it is kind of suspicious...

Well, you know who else just had a big birthday? Zendaya! And Kenan Thompson couldn't help but make a joke about her turning 26, which might be a red flag for DiCaprio.

Sheryl Lee Ralph's iconic speech is one for the books.

It was the best surprise when the iconic Sheryl Lee Ralph was announced as the winner of Best Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series. The stage and screen legend finally took home a statue and it will forever go down as one of the best Emmys moments in history.


Jennifer Coolidge getting played off has some people heated.

Another big win came when Jennifer Coolidge also finally got her flowers for thanks to her role in The White Lotus, which she is thankfully returning for its second season. And while she was giving her once-in-a-lifetime speech, she, unfortunately, got played off. At least she made the most of it and danced it off making the already amazing moment even more memorable.

The Squid Game Doll scared us all.

Squid Game continues to be one of the most exciting shows this awards season and while it wasn't surprising to see it take home some hardware, fans could not believe that the actual doll from the show made an appearance.

The Kenan and Kel reunion that we've been waiting for.

We knew that we would see a lot of Kenan at the Emmys, but the biggest shock came during a bit as he hosted the show. His former co-star and forever BFF, Kel Mitchell, gave us a reunion during a bit that also featured Kumail Nanjiani and Jason Sudeikis.

Benson and Stabler have a moment and we wish we were both of them.

Listen, if there is one TV couple that we will continue to ship until the end of days, it's Benson and Stabler. Mariska Hargitay and Christopher Meloni got to present an award together and what we got was another super hot moment that we'll just reply in our head for the rest of the night.

Jesse Armstrong gets a little too real about successions.

As Succession took the stage for its big win under Best Drama Series, show creator Jesse Armstrong did not hold back when he mentioned that it was "a big week for successions. New king in the UK. Evidently, a little more voting in our winning...Prince Charles." Star Brian Cox told the creator to keep it royalist and Jesse continued, "I'm not saying that we're more legitimate in our position than he is. We'll leave that to other people." We wonder what the new king has to say about that...
