CONGRATULATIONS DEREK!
Congratulations Derek! 😀 Very well deserved! Loved his speech btw! 😛
YAY!!!
So proud of the boy!!! It’s a win-win situation for both Derek AND DWTS. I’m glad for him!!
OMG, I lost it. I screamed silently, flailed, jumped out of my chair, and ran around the room. I knew this was his year. Delirious. I’m so happy for it, it was a well deserved win for him.
(Part of me thinks his win is why they chose to air the award this year… 😉 )
I am so happy for Derek. This is also so awesome for DWTS to be recognized in some of the awesome choreography that have/will be produced on the show 🙂
By the way, the choreography number was outstanding!
Anna R you’re not alone!!! 😀
Congratulations Derek!!! I screamed and just YAAAYYYY and his speech was great, thanking BBC, DWTS team, his family, the Ballases. Derek is always so well-spoken <3
The dance number was really really cool. Absolutely the highlight of the entire award for me 😀
Eeeep! :::wipes tear:::
That’s my boy. 😀
well deserved, finally Derek/Dwts got some love for choreography. Derek might had lost the mirrorball trophy on season 15, but he got a much better one for that.
Derek has deserved this for years, but this past calendar year he has gone above and beyond even his own stellar standards! He and Shawn were robbed of the mirrorball, but the Emmy is sweet vindication!!!
Woo hoo! Congratulations Derek! Much deserved.
Congratulations Derek! Much deserved for you, Derek. Season 15 Derek went above and beyond with his choreography, Shawn was the perfect partner for this and his “Walking on Air” spoke for itself.
Well done Mr. Hough, Mr. Choreographer! Couldn’t be more proud!
Yay! Congratulations to Derek for his Emmy win. Much deserved.
Congratulations to Derek on a much deserved win!
Love Derek! Congratulations! Just leeped out of the chair! Well deserved!
Congratulations to Derek! So excited that he won the Emmy, especially for his solo work (kind of helps to ease the sting that he and Shawn didn’t win the All-Star season). The only thing that would have made me more excited is if he would have won for *both* his nominations (because they both deserved it)!
Congratulations to Derek. Extremely well deserved and long overdue win.
I loved during his acceptance speech how his voice quivered when he said “Holy Crap!” It was an adorable and very human moment.
HOLY CRAP indeed Derek, I can’t say congratulations enough, I did cry!!!
YAY, Congratulations, Derek~~
Couldn’t have happened to a more deserving, talented, humble individual and brilliant choreographer.
It was so amazing to see him receive this Emmy and even more special it was on a history making night for the choreographers. How fantastic to see him recognized and honored on this platform.
Congratulations Derek~~ Emmy Winning Choreographer!! I’m such a proud and happy fan.
A couple of interesting notes – perhaps it’s because of the nature of ballroom dancing, but Derek (and Allison) were the most visible of the choreographers in the dance number, which was really cool, and turned out to be very appropriate. 🙂
Warren Carlyle (the non DWTS/SYTYCD choreographer) was the most invisible – I don’t think I saw him at all, either in the package or at the Emmys. Other than his name being mentioned as a nominee, it was almost as if he didn’t exist.
The theme from Mad Men made a *great* tango!
Congratulations to Derek on his Emmy win. He’s made all his fans very proud.
A well-deserved win. Congratulations Derek!!! 🙂
Woo-hoo! Soooo happy for Derek. I can’t stop smiling. 😛 Surely Tom will acknowledge this win on tonight’s show.
Had to back door my way in here, but I was determined to get through. There’s something, maybe in the cheesecake bytes, that’s freaking out my office firewall.)
I have to add my congratulations to Derek here!!! I’m very happy for him and for DWTS, too! He truly deserved it. I still cannot stop from smiling over his tremendous achievement! 😀
Congratulations to Derek, great achievement!! Derek is without a doubt one of the most talented choreographers working today, and one of my personal favorites.
I am kind of happy he is still on DWTS, I get to see his work.
YAY!!! YAY for days!!!! So happy for the freaking genius that is Derek. So very well deserved, and about time! I hope to see many more industry kudos for what he does so very, very well in the years to come!
Whooohooooo!! Was so happy for Derek – it was so well deserved. I had to attend a dinner last night but luckily they were showing the Emmy’s on a screen on the wall with no sound. When I saw him walk toward the podium I stood up & cheered and started waving my napkin over my head. So exciting! Can’t wait to see him on DWTS tonight and looking forward to many, many years of his talent.
Congratulations to Derek for his Emmy! 🙂 I kind of had a feeling he would win last night and I’m so glad that he did. The two dances that he choreographed and danced with Shawn that were part of the nomination are two of my all-time favorites on DWTS. I couldn’t be happier for him. He absolutely deserved to win.
Congrats to Derek on this BIG win!! For both him and DWTS! And I loved the dance before it (they used one of my favorite songs-“Get Lucky”-in the number!)
