This year’s Emmy’s did not disappoint, and neither did the hilarious women of Twitter.

Even though Jimmy Kimmel couldn’t make it through the night without an off-color Bill Cosby joke, and we didn’t get to see Tracee Ellis Ross take home an Emmy for her role in “Black-ish,” there were still some fantastic moments for women at the show. 

Jill Soloway called for the toppling of the patriarchy on live TV, and Amy Schumer gave o.b. tampons a nod on the red carpet. Kate McKinnon gave a wonderfully endearing speech ― making sure to thank Hillary Clinton! ― and Marcia Clark finally got her due with a big nod from Sarah Paulson, who took home an Emmy for playing Clark in “The People v. O.J. Simpson.” 

Of course, it wouldn’t be an award show without commentary from our favorite women on Twitter. Below are 37 spot-on tweets about the 2016 Emmys:
