The Fox awards ceremony got off to a rocky start when Homer Simpson, Anthony Anderson, and Bryan Cranston, took to the stage for a monologue. While these three had some fun moments and banter with each other, fans weren't exactly impressed.

Despite the many dramatic and hilarious moments, a few unimpressed people shared that Rihanna was making popcorn on Instagram Live.

Besides all the fun and not-so-great-moments from the night, Chrissy Teigen once again blessed the internet with an awards night meme, as Mashable shared via their website. The meme occurred when Colin Jost and Michael Che were on stage.

The TV personality shrunk away and cringed into her seat when the camera swooped to her and her husband, John Legend.

The night certainly had it all as Esquire adds that the 2019 Emmys was a beautiful mix of television memorials, unbelievable speeches, and surprise wins.
