9 Times the 2016 Emmys Celebrated Diversity

Jill took home the award for outstanding directing in a comedy series for the Transparent episode "Man on the Land," and her speech was nothing short of inspiring. After referring to her experience as a director as "a privilege," she brought up how she's made an actual difference in the world by representing minority groups on TV. "When you take people of color, women, trans people, queer people, as the subjects of stories, you change the world," she said. "We found out. We found out." As if that wasn't amazing enough, she concluded by yelling out, "Topple the patriarchy!"
