Joshua Jackson had the best Emmys reaction to the Dawson's Creek theme song playing as he entered

Actors Joshua Jackson and Matt Bomer took to the stage at the 76th Emmy Awards on Sunday night to present the Governor’s Award to Greg Berlanti. As the duo walked out, the iconic, long-time theme song of Jackson’s teen drama Dawson’s Creek blasted out through the auditorium.

Paula Cole’s “I Don’t Want To Wait” became synonymous with the angsty show — which Berlanti is credited with writing 10 episodes from 1998-2000 — as Jackson, Katie Holmes, Michelle Williams and James Van Der Beek won over hearts each week.
