When Emmy nominations were announced last week, it became clear that badass women ruled primetime in 2014. Here are some of our favorite no-holds-barred, take-no-prisoners moments from women nominated for awards (OK, their characters—but still!):
Kerry Washington as Olivia Pope in Scandal:
"I am very good at what I do. I am better at it than anybody else. And that's not arrogance, that's fact."
"I am not a toy you can play with when you're bored or lonely or horny. I am not the girl the guy gets at the end of the movie. I am not a fantasy. If you want me, earn me!"
“Whatever happens, we do not give up. It is my name on that door, and I do not give up.”
Claire Danes as Carrie Mathison in Homeland:
"Rule number one, we don't eat our own!"
"I care what happens to you, even if you don't."
"Sit the f--- down! I'm not finished."
Robin Wright as Claire Underwood in House of Cards:
"Am I really the sort of enemy you want to make?"
“Well, you can't worry about what other people think, right?"
“I've done what I have to do. Now you do what you have to do.”
Julianna Margulies as Alicia Florrick in The Good Wife:
"You know, the problem with bad people is they use the arguments of good people."
“OK, I think this will make more sense if I get more wine.”
Christina Hendricks as Joan Harris in Mad Men:
"Did you just need someone to hand you a tissue?"
“You want to be taken seriously? Stop dressing like a little girl.”
Greg: "I don’t want to have a fight right now."
Joan: "Then stop talking."
