Ernst & Young might want to reevaluate their business goals. The company responsible for tallying and guarding the Emmy results was called out directly by comedian Leslie Jones during Sunday's awards ceremony for protecting the wrong information.

"Y'all are protecting something that nobody is trying to steal," Jones told the accountants on stage at the Emmys. "Y'all over here using your skills to protect 'Best Voiceover in a French Sitcom,' meanwhile I'm butt naked on CNN!"

"I just wanted to feel beautiful," Jones added. "Can a sister feel beautiful?"
