About that embrace: How Taraji P. Henson won Emmy night

Though she may have left the ceremony without an Emmy to call her own, Taraji P. Henson may have been one of the biggest winners of the night.

Upon the announcement that Viola Davis had won the award for lead actress in a drama series, it became clear that no one was happier to hear it than Henson, even though a win for the former meant a loss for the latter. Before Davis took the stage to accept her historic award, becoming the first African American woman to receive the prize, the two actresses embraced in one of the most meaningful moments of the ceremony.
