The Television Academy celebrates the life of Betty White!

Screw the few people who didn’t give her a standing ovation. She’s a legend and the sweetest old lady on television.

[jayvilla]

Betty White is what America needs in total class of a woman. She’s an absolute legend in Entertainment. We love you Betty!!

[OutrageousBSFan]

i’ll cry my eyes out the day this woman passes away. Protect her at all costs, she’s a natural treasure!

[ciciriddick]

I think the reason she's stumbling over he words like that is because she's emotional. She's usually steady in her voice.

[crumbsies]

I literally cried. She could barely speak but she did her best. I felt so sad and so happy at the same time. I love her so much.

[Selectrolux]

She is definitely beginning to show her true age...bless her heart...she is only four years short of being 100 years old.  You can hear it in her voice, you can hear how she stumbles on her words.  But she's on stage...at the Emmys...looking like the prettiest 96 year old woman you could ever see, and she is as graceful as ever.  <3

She's the ultimate television legend. The world needs you Betty, don't you dare to leave us queen!

[charliest.dennis]

This hits different today. May she go down in history as one of the greatest, and may her legacy live on.

[slasher]

This is what i like to call a REAL standing ovation. Rest in Peace Betty White, you are a true icon !

[biatchp]

Girl with the cel phone show some respect and put your phone away—it’s Betty White! Bless her 96 years old & still with us!

[mackadoodless]

Betty is a well-respected woman in the Hollywood business. She should be! We love you Betty White!

[sajjadali]

I'm so glad the Emmy's did this moment for her incredible career tonight. She's a true icon in television. Got slightly worried when she was getting a little slurred with her words but then she's 96 and that's to be expected. But a legend. Thank you for being a friend, Betty.

The First Lady of Television. Working from the dawn of TV to the present day. This is the end of an Era. Her likes will never be seen again. RIP. 😢

The fact that she lived over 99 years, had a wonderful career, was loved by nearly everyone and had no major health problems up until whatever it was that caused her to pass away, are all reasons to be happy and to celebrate, but I so wanted to see her reach her 100th birthday. What a wonderful, amazing milestone that would have been and she deserved it. So as awesome as it is that she lived as long as she did, I'm still very sad that she died less than 3 weeks shy of 100. I know many others feel the same way. RIP Betty, we love you!.

[Kirsten_is_cursed]

The fact that she still looks genuinely surprised/happy/grateful coming out on stage is so heartwarming. Such a class act 💜

[LieslJames]

Impeccable comedic timing does not fade with age clearly.

[LiveOutLoudandWithPurpose]

I absolutely adore this woman... We can only pray to see 96 years old and be able to stand this strong ❤ God Bless You & Thank You Ms. White 🙏

[oneblackhorse]

Betty White is not only a legend, but a genuinely nice, kind-hearted human being. I take issue with the comments about her "showing her age". She is 96 years on this planet. What do you expect? I'd say she's doing and looking absolutely fantastic. Her brilliant attitude and personality keep her forever young and beautiful. Those are the things to focus on. I wish there were more like her in Hollywood.

*Betty White gets a standing ovation*

Me: Damn straight.

[katschaccc]

She is still sharp in her head and you are the twinkle in her eye's but you see the body just can't keep up with her. I had to cry a little. I listen to the golden girls almost every night to fall asleep. Betty you stole my heart. Stay healthy you can do the 100 💙
