The Emmy Awards 2018 saw celebrities from across the world descend on Los Angeles for the biggest night in US television.
While the stars got dressed up, fans at home were immortalising their favourite moments as GIFs and pictures on social media.
Here are 10 stars who became memes from the evening.
1. Chrissy Teigen shying from the cameras
Teigen stayed true to her meme-making form that saw her become one of the quintessential reaction GIFs for awkward situations.
She acknowledged the moment in the limelight too.

Cumberbatch wasn’t alone in his feelings here, as he clapped the moment Glenn Weiss proposed to his girlfriend live on stage.

RuPaul took home two out of three awards he was nominated for thanks to his show RuPaul’s Drag Race, so he had every right to be brimming with confidence.
