From the seats in the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles to sofas from coast to coast, Twitter’s rich TV community turned to Twitter to celebrate this year’s Emmy awards, sharing reactions, congratulations, and glimpses of the show throughout the night.

Apart from the red carpet festivities, Twitter facilitated substantive conversation during the evening. In partnership with the Television Academy (@TelevisionAcad) and Amy Poehler’s @SmrtGrls, the #SmartGirlsAsk campaign encouraged viewers to Tweet a compelling question to any Emmy nominee for a chance to see their question answered live on the day of the show via a Twitter Mirror app on the red carpet.
In addition to a batch of compelling questions and answers, thanks to Twitter Mirrors, Vines and Periscope broadcasts, we saw lots of celebrity shots courtesy of @EW and @extratv.
Of course, there’s no better way to get the Emmy experience than from the stars themselves. Here are some of those highlights:
