24 Times Kate McKinnon Made You Cry-Laugh Oceans of Tears on SNL

Saturday Night Live's Kate McKinnon is up for an Emmy again this year, and even though the SNL cast appears to be cursed when it comes to winning at the event, we hope McKinnon is the one to break the losing streak.

This woman deserves an Emmy, and if you need a reminder why, here are 24 perfect examples.
