You answer to me, and you answer to Toby

[@amandalheureux3443]

John Spencer standing up and pointing at him makes me emotional :')

[@johnobrien7562]

And Brad pointing back, saying "you're next". And he was.

[@nascarkraz]

This was when West Wing OWNED everything! I loved it! :)

[@RealTime88]

I'm watching it on Netflix and I love it!! I relate the most to Bradley & Martin's characters the most.

[@electricblue1423]

Martin Sheen should also have won Best Actor for his performance in the episode "Two Cathedrals". Sadly, we will never see a show like this ever again.

[@moshfeta1958]

He did.....

[@macdonaldukah1680]

Totally agree!

[@macdonaldukah1680]

@@moshfeta1958, he didn't. James Gandolfini did. And that's tragic!!

[@LeoWhalen1933]

The West Wing show is an absolute triumph. The acting, writing, and drama was out of this world...

[@sussexannie9924]

Gosh, his note to Jane makes me genuinely emotional.

[@sussexannie9924]

BLTKellys Indeed. Although they married as young, optimistic artists and seemed to have shared many happy times together. Perhaps one can still love fully but merely outgrow old loves? At least, that's what I hope... x

[@theresabollman8061]

Sad that they got divorced. They were great together.

[@dawggirl]

What a beautiful and terrific speech. I love that he called Janel exquisite.

[@user-pt6fq7bh1i]

All these years later and the two of them still make my heart melt

[@Bibu236]

That truly is an "A-class" thank you speech. The rest of the world could take lessons.

[@emilyslomovits9204]

This is how you give and write a good awards speech. One of the best I've seen. Love the show - my all-time favorite!

[@rebeccasimpson-wallack2144]

It's the best show in history.

[@BigTulsa]

I rewatch WW at least once a year. Lot of episodes but I usually get through it in about 4 weeks. One of the best shows on television ever.

[@andreghouse9192]

I have to correct you here... it is the best show on television ever!

[@JustSomeCanadianGuy]

Bradley Whitford ROCKED... But Schiff should have won again just for the episode 17 People where he finds out about the MS.

[@jaredconnell2059]

Man Brad is my fav but I was thinking of the same scene "I bet all the money in my pockets, against all the money in your pockets, that it was Leo. WHO KNOW ONE ELECTED!"

[@woohooboy]

Fabisch Factor - As great as Schiff was in "17 People", Whitford IMO edged him out in "Noel".

[@lukaslove8079]

oh man whitford with his portrayal of post traumatic stress disorder soooooooo so impressive

[@dravin815]

I dont know the episode Noel is one of the best acting performances i have seen

[@christophermendez4044]

Jared Connell The title of his speech is clean air industry in high tech corridor of the industrial northeast.

[@BigTulsa]

Also, I remember how they talked about initially how this show was really supposed to be centered more around Rob Lowe's character of Sam Seaborn. It turned out it worked much better as an ensemble. This is partly why he departed in Season 4. I liked that they brought him back for about the last half of the final season.

[@ghostemane3209]

It’s so sweet that he took time to specially thank Janel Moloney because back then she wasn’t a big shot 💕 Brad such a gentleman just like Josh wonderful actor!!! Also the cast seems so supportive of each other so sweeeeet

[@JustSomeCanadianGuy]

3:21 - "This award is a result of looking into the eyes of..." and he names his cast members. That's gorgeous. 🥲❤

[@titus2120]

So beautiful is his love for his wife! So wonderful…

[@MikeySkywalker]

Wow, that speech about his wife was amazing. Sad that they divorced.

[@mobiz711]

Ooo, man I was about to look up to see if they are still together. That were such beautiful words to her, I wanted to believe relationships like that can last. Everybody is so in love when they are in love, and then they aren't anymore.

[@__________________4241]

Donna, bring me the finest bagels and muffins in all the land

[@angelicalicari8355]

3:30 "what a joy for us all to hit our strides together" Is that a quote from something? Because it's very well-worded.

[@carter7937]

So sad how they ended up divorcing - they always seemed so happy and in love in public!

[@AJBfc]

Shieeettt, any of those actors could have won, both those shows were incredible

[@RandalBauer11]

+AJBfc I thought that too. They were on a roll in Season Two. If Brad hadn't won, Richard totally would have.

[@brontewcat]

What a great speech

[@abbiec2.089]

why does it make me emotional when he singles out janel

[@elenaverde7356]

Especially since the they subsequently split up and he married someone else.

[@chiazme]

He drank from the keg of glory.

[@judyl5260]

And it still stands up as one of the best written in television

[@c8Lorraine1]

Aaron Sorkin the prince of the typewritten word.

[@nicknicktracy]

There has never been e better series than The West Wing

[@RJSAMCRO]

I didn't know he was married to Malcom's Mom thats cool

[@ashleybarloweNC]

Television at its finest. I don’t know if we’ll ever get it like this again.

[@MrMarkpark]

Good speech. Nailed it in one take

[@geoffreyrichardson8738]

Not hard to win when you’ve got such great material to work with. A little bit harder when your competing against such talented actors, but if the clips shown was what the judges watched then Bradley had the best material and he did the scene so well.

[@jarredkennedy6131]

That clip was indeed from one of the episodes he submitted for consideration.

[@dspf68]

great speech

[@bi8653]

So sweet

[@Mia_rebels]

Martin Sheen with the President Bartlet first to chest gesture. Maybe it was his orginally

[@davidmatthews1710]

Don’t forget he is the bad guy in Billy Madison!!!!!!!! He is such an awesome actor too 🙏🙏💪💪

[@5andup]

And the mad surgeon in "Get Out" 👍👍👍

[@discoverfloridatoday]

Josh?...…..Donna! …...Josh!!!!! Donna??? Lol

[@Oecanside]

This is my guy brad is the man

[@navidb]

Epic nominee list

[@DeepScreenAnalysis]

The vein in Bradley Whitford's forehead 2:08 should have had its own nomination.

[@sarahswomley2580]

Marg and William look so young

[@billhiggins2003]

They were.

“Insurance victory”

"SPORTY ACTOR.. SPORTY ACTOR!"

[@MPDLR]

Mike Toddwell won an award.

[@sandranorman5469]

AWWWWWWWWWWWW

[@samtook3368]

All the great shows are great shows because of 1 thing...writers. Lots of great actors, big shortage of great writers.

[@michaelhayden725]

How was this considered a “supporting roll”? Surely all the leads were equally in Leading Rolls!

[@BC-kx6db]

Surely Aaron wrote this speech for him

[@michealangelo12865]

Shame they got divorced

[@Leisure3389]

Those sopranos chumps were no match for the WW trio

[@cemaldindar771]

The Sopranos crew and cast should win all awards!

[@josibee3238]

All I could think of was "Who will help me destroy Billy Madison? Who?"

[@jonathanfunnell4167]

7 SELFISH PEOPLE

[@davidmatthews1710]

I love him so much but he will always be the annoying bad guy in Billy Madison........
