Best: Julia Louis-Dreyfus reads Amy Poehler's acceptance speech

Last year, Amy Poehler and the nominated ladies of the best actress in a comedy series category created one of the most memorable Emmy moments of all time..  Each actress walked up on stage when their name was announced as a nominee and acted as though they were in a beauty pageant.  This year -- and we don't know the complete story behind it yet, when Louis Dreyfus was announced as the winner Amy Phoeler went over to congratulate her and they pretended to switch acceptance speeches.  The fact Louis-Dreyfus went along the bit was incredibly classy.  So was her final line, "Isn't it a shame that Poehler didn't win?"  As much as we love "Veep" and Louis-Dreyfus, we couldn't have said it better ourselves.
