The Emmys are coming up in just under two weeks here, so that means it’s time to get the hype train rolling! I would go so far as to say that there have never been better shows on their air all at once the way there are now, and that should make for one hell of a year. I thought it would be good to take a look back at past Emmy moments with a series of posts. First off, I wondered which Emmy acceptance speeches have stood the test of time over the years. In this age of YouTube, we can find out which speeches have been the most viewed over the years, and these are the top ten in descending order. I’m willing to bet that a few of your favorite actors are in here, so be sure to check out the entire list below:
