Five of American Horror Story: Coven's ladies are up for Emmys this year, and we're campaigning for all of their incredible performances. Jessica Lange — who won outstanding supporting actress in a miniseries or movie in 2012 for the show's first season — and Sarah Paulson are competing against each other in the outstanding lead actress in a miniseries or movie category, while Frances Conroy, Kathy Bates, and Angela Bassett are all nominated for outstanding supporting actress in a miniseries or movie. While we know they can't all take home the gold, we did come up with 22 times they proved that they all deserve Emmys. Take a look before the ceremony on Aug. 25 — and definitely before the new season premieres on Oct. 8!
