In honor of the Daytime Emmy Awards, we're looking at the Emmy moments that made us cry! Which moment made you shed a tear? Let us know below!

Mr. Rogers was our father when our father was away working. Mr. Rogers was our grandfather when we needed advice from someone. But most importantly, Mr. Rogers was the friend we wished we had in real life. I loved watching him on tv.

[amwfan]

I never met Mr. Rogers in person, but seeing him nearly every day of my childhood, I feel like I've known him my entire life. He set an example for so many people, myself included. Every time I feel angry or sad, I always think about Mr. Rogers and what he would say. He was, and let's be honest, is, a truly beautiful human being. I can't even call him "Fred." He will always be Mr. Rogers to me.

Fred Roger's speech was a definite tear-jerker. Why must the good people die? 😭😥

[art.of.verser]

As far as Fred Rogers knows, that is how one can nail such a humble acceptance speech. We all miss you, Mr. Rogers. ❤️

I still can't watch Mr. Rogers speech without crying. The impact he had on my generation was immeasurable. Service, humility, and dedication, that was Mr. Rogers. I loved him like my own father, and still do. They're both Home now, and I still miss them both.

Shame on you for not including Susan Lucci's 1999 Daytime Emmy win. It took her 19 nominations before she finally won, and when she did, she got a standing ovation that lasted for several minutes and her speech left the audience in tears. It's one of the greatest acceptance speeches of all time, at any awards ceremony.

Viola Davis on how to get away with murder was like watching Laurence Olivier do a school play. Her presence was massive. You understood why and how she is one of the greatest actors of this generation.

[phylliskumi]

Yes, Susan Lucci's win for best actress at the daytime Emmy was epic. That was back in 1999. Sudan had been nominated 19 times consecutively and always lost except for that year. Actor Shemar Moore made the event more exciting by presenting and yelling "the streak is over, Susan Lucci." Everybody got up and gave her a very long standing ovation. She rightfully delayed the commercial break to politely finish her speech. Yay Erica Kane. I will never forget that day.

The tribute to Robin Williams as well as Mr. Rogers’ acceptance speech always gets me teared up every time

[chrismetafora]

Fred Rogers was also a Presbyterian minister. He was not just a children's TV host. There are a million of those. He was so much more. I could discuss that but would be here all weekend. :)

Fred Rogers was just everything good and right that a person could possibly be. Standing in a room full of, let's be honest, some of the most cynical people in the world, he asked them to be quiet and think about someone else. And they did. I don't think there's anyone on the planet who could have commanded or, frankly, deserved that level of respect. I miss him.

[kevin-michaelwolfer]

I am STUNNED that Susan Lucci's win (after 19 nominations) is NOWHERE on this list...

Fred Rodgers A LEGEND A ICON A MAN WHO MADE EVERYONE’S CHILDHOOD😢😢😢RIP

[briannawilkinson]

The mister Rogers was the most beautiful speech of all time I'm still crying

[angelaholmes]

I really loved the tribute to Robin Williams 😊😢😭

[kathypeyser]

What a number one pick, Mister Rogers. How could it get any better. I feel you in my heart, Mister Rogers, and you were one of my neighbors, the best one.

[michelleallred]

I met Henry Winkler, my childhood hero a few years ago. He was the kindest, most fan friendly & appreciative!! He thanked us for having him & for coming.

[charleyh]

I can’t believe Susan Lucci finally winning a Daytime Emmy after being nominated in the best actress category for almost 20 consecutive years isn’t in the Top Five, much less the Top Ten.

[debbysilence]

Susan Lucci finally winning had me crying from the first second they said her name until she was done probably even longer.
