I was hoping that "When They See Us" would've won more Emmy's. They deserved more than that one award!! Great series on Netflix! One of the best things I've watched this year. He deserved this award 1000%

To see Korey cry when Jharrel won is priceless. WELL DESERVED

[jusmia]

Maybe it's just me but the fact the he won that well deserved award, the camera kept going to The Exonerated 5, seeing Korey cry and them playing "Fight The Power" as he walked on stage MANNNN I was overwhelmed with emotions.💙

There is a way in which Angela Bassett read Jerome’s name... I don’t even know how to describe it but it was almost as if she thought “oh my God, YES!”

His performance literally made me uncomfortable cuz it was palpable. I felt every single emotion he was going through in episode 4. It took me 3 days to watch it cuz it was painful. Great job, young man!

It was all perfect. Angela announcing with sass and happiness. Korey crying. Momma feeling hella accomplished. Ava feeling accomplished completely with the film, the story, the attention and now the Emmy. This whole thing including the X5’s situation is just indescribable ... I’m so happy for my brothers
