Behind-The-Scenes Pics From The 2016 Emmys

by Michelle McGahan

Instagram is basically the app embodiment of the expression, "Stars: They're just like us!" I mean, sure, celebs on the 'gram document things like going to fancy-pants award shows, where they spend the night glamorously traipsing on the red carpet, being awarded for their incredible talent, and rubbing elbows with Hollywood's elite — but they make it accessible. I mean, it's fun (and occasionally funny) to watch the Emmys on TV and all, but the real treat for pop culture aficionados is to see what happens during those moments that weren't captured on the small screen: A celeb accidentally photobombing another star, a ridiculous selfie of an actor getting ready, a hilariously-captioned shot of Leslie Jones, meeting, well, anybody (and everybody). Forget the actual award show itself: Everyone knows that the behind-the-scenes pics from the 2016 Emmys are really where it's at.

Truth be told, the majority of these BTS shots — like especially anything from Leslie Jones, Queen of Twitter — are actually better than the Emmy Award themselves. No shade, but sometimes it's just way more interesting (and way more hilarious) to see what celebs get up to when left to their own devices (and their own selfies).
