The Best Frozen Moments From the 2014 Emmys
We already walked the Emmys red carpet, called out some highlights and lowlights, celebrated the man-braid, picked our highs and lows, and generally had a lovely evening. Now we want to celebrate the moments between those moments — the frozen moments, the shots of weird faces, bizarre seating arrangements, and anything else that can be encapsulated in a screenshot. Here are your 2014 Emmys frozen moments.
It's hard to remember specific jokes from Seth Meyers's monologue, so here we think he was telling a story about that time he hailed a cab once.
After last year's performance, Anna Chlumsky tried once again to win the Taylor Swift Award for Most Excited Person at an Awards Show: Emmys Edition.
Not the time to try out your De Niro, Adam.
Debra Messing is saying "joke," which she famously says in lieu of actually laughing.
Calm down, Mayim Bialik's date. You're at an awards show, not an extra on Wilmer Valderrama's Yo Mamma.
Jon Hamm is a hunk in many ways, but he sure laughs like a baby watching a kitty play with a little ball.
"Did you see the finale, Seth? Hope your setup doesn't have a punch line."
We have a great idea for a movie: Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Kristen Wiig play, you know, whatever — doesn't really matter. Pretty good, right?
"How you doin', America?" said Amy Poehler's eyes.
Cute.
Look at how excited Aidy Bryant and Cecily Strong are for Fred! They look like two 15-year-old girls who nervously just came up with a plan to kiss hi...

Zooey was more excited than Louis C.K. that he won. Maybe she was just happy to have her forehead free for a night.
"Tell your jokes, Mr. Jimmy Kimmel. I've heard 'em all before at the Oscars."
"No one laughs that big," Jon Voight thought incredulously.
Maybe the British Office was better than the American version, but I'd take the American Fonz over this any day.
"Look at me, Matthew."
"Alright, alright, alright, alright."
Bryan: "You should come over for dinner sometime, Julia. We'll serve ric ... in."
Julia: "Rice in what?"
Bryan: "Maybe you ...
Bryan: "You should come over for dinner sometime, Julia. We'll serve ric ... in."
Julia: "Rice in what?"
Bryan: "Maybe you should be asking, what's in the rice?"
Julia: "Okay, what's in the rice?"
Bryan: "Don't ask that!"
Julia: "This is a bad invitation."
I'm no body-language expert, but considering she's leaning back to a point where she's almost horizontal, I'd say she's definitely super into this kiss.
Jimmy: "Bro. Okay ... okay."
Bryan: "Okay. Bro. Okay ..."
Julia was traumatized, so apparently, to cheer her up, Jimmy Fallon did the Robot.
Bryan grew a mustache for this bit, just so he could look like a cartoon bad guy.
"What a cutie pie." —Mindy Kaling/America
Based on this image, I'd guess The Amazing Race is a documentary series celebrating white people.
"Why are you singling out me, America's Sweetheart Julia Roberts?"
The moment before a bit starts, where everyone looks serious, like Jon might actually have a question about the art of television.
Beef.
Beef.
"What did I just do? Comedy!?"
Kathy Bates is in shock or a coma.
I'll be your friend, Stephen Colbort.
Five men not happy the guy who didn’t show up won. Even Jim Parsons is pissed.
Really!
Despite the fact that that he, Seth, and Amy all met working on a star-making series, Jimmy still acts like he can't believe his buddies are on TV.&nb...

You can tell McConaughey is doing his Woody impression by that wide-eyed face.
Weird.

A typewriter is such an annoying object to keep in your lap for an hour. Don't be surprised if an Andrew Sambereon gets stabbed in the throat in George R.R. Martin's next book.
Spoiler alert.
"Is anyone tearing up because Normal Heart won?"
"I think Blossom is."
"Great, zoom as close to her eyeballs as the camera ...
"Is anyone tearing up because Normal Heart won?"
"I think Blossom is."
"Great, zoom as close to her eyeballs as the camera can go."
Look at how curious Edie Falco is about what these two movie stars are doing.
This is what Seth Meyers looks like after someone gives a touching speech about AIDS and he is required to say a joke.
Sarah Silverman was so surprised she won that she slipped into a Bill and Ted impression.
"Fuck you for voting for me, and fuck you for voting for me, and fuck you for voting for me ..."
She won an Emmy, and that face won the Emmys.
"Colbort," said Gwen Stefani. "Nope," thought Adam Levine.
We're happy for Stephen Colbert's success, but he really would've made a perfect Tonight Show writer because he would've made Jimmy curse all the time...

"After this killer dad-joke, I'm going to have to hide out for a bit."

It's just not fair: Not only does Matthew McConaughey get to win an Oscar, be a rich movie star, and look like that, he also gets to get super close to Cary Fukunaga's man-braid.
All these women are so obviously pissed, even the still of Maggie Smith.
I am also surprised by how close the camera is.
Robin Wright is making plans for Julianna Margulies and the other women for seeming legitimately happy for her.
I hear you, girl three rows behind Jeff Daniels.
