Try Not To Cry While Watching Betty White’s Speech At The Emmys Last Night

Betty White is truly one of the best in the biz. She is a legend from starring in movies and shows such as Golden Girls, The Proposal, The Mary Tyler Moore Show, and much more. Her career goes all the way back to the late 1940s and she still works today, at age 96. Even with a long and successful career, you can tell she is still humble and sweet as ever.

At the 70th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards, she was recognized for over 80 years in show business. Over the years, she has won eight Emmy Awards and was nominated more times than you can count on one hand. She received her first Emmy back in 1975 for Outstanding Supporting Actress on The Mary Tyler Moore Show.

For the 2018 speech, Betty was introduced by comedians Kate McKinnon and Alec Baldwin. She gave a short, but funny thank-you speech and proved that she is one of the most loved actresses of our time. She received a standing ovation from the crowd and social media shared their love for Betty afterward.

America is divided about just about everything these days.

But one thing we can agree on: everyone loves #BettyWhite! ❤️ #Emmys pic.twitter.com/HnBbmCLUfs
