23 Reasons "Jane The Virgin" Deserves All The Emmys

    #TeamVillanueva

    1. Firstly, this was the show's Emmy campaign, which is both sexy and self-aware.

    2. But there was also this, which showcased all the inspirational sentiments Jane the Virgin herself, Gina Rodriguez, has shared since the show was picked up by The CW in 2014.

    3. Like, she's a proud Latina.

    4. And she realized in January that in winning the Golden Globe for Best Actress in a Television Series - Musical or Comedy that she can and she did everything she set out to achieve.

    5. But she's not just championing Latinas, she's standing up for women everywhere.

    6. The premise of the show — a virgin gets accidentally artificially inseminated and falls for the sperm's original owner— may sound silly, but Jane the Virgin presents both sides of hot button issues, like abortion.

    It wasn't even black and white for Jane's uber-religious grandma Alba (Ivonne Coll).

    7. Yes, it's hilarious...

    8. But it also manages to highlight incredibly important issues, like immigration reform.

    9. Also, it has basically the best voiceover work on television.

    ALL HAIL ANTHONY MENDEZ (who did get an Emmy nomination)!

    10. And captioning.

    11. Seriously, text messages and emojis have never been put to better use.

    12. Somehow it makes anthropomorphic computers and Virgin Mary's charming!

    13. You can't fit it into a box because it is a mystery, comedy, drama, telenovela, and basically kicking all other series' asses.

    14. There's physical comedy, even!

    15. And legitimate cliffhangers.

    16. Jane the Virgin also understands the importance of fandoms and happy dancing SIMULTANEOUSLY!

    17. And there is no better illustration of love than the three generations of Villanueva women.

    18. It has queer characters and doesn't treat them any differently than its straight ones.

    19. And it doesn't adhere to gender norms.

    20. Of course, there are some very on-point pop culture references.

    21. And some men that will you leave you very, very thirsty.

    22. But more than anything, it will warm the coldest corners of your heart.

    23. Besides, we all deserve more of these awards show selfies.
