Taraji P. Henson's Cameo Was Award-Worthy

Fans on Twitter can't get enough of Taraji P. Henson as Janine's mom in "Abbott Elementary." First of all, they think that Henson is the most fitting casting choice for Vanetta. One fan, @ChinaKeyy, wrote, "Taraji is literally perfect for playing Janine's mom." And @FruityBowTies agreed, simply writing, "Taraji. perfect casting." Similarly, @knightleysemma wrote that they thought Henson did a great job in the role.

Specifically, fans loved the confrontation scene between Vanetta and Barbara. One fan, @NadiaJo64713750, wrote, "A Taraji P. Henson vs Sheryl Lee Ralph faceoff was everything I didn't know I needed." Further, @KelseyDavisNews agreed that the moment was exactly what she didn't know she needed before thanking Quinta Brunson for the episode. And @Tiarasmileyy wrote, "Taraji was everything I needed for this episode. Her scene with Sheryl Lee Ralph was true acting. You can tell these women are very seasoned in this game."

That fan wasn't the only one bringing attention to Henson's stellar acting — many fans are even calling for her to win an Emmy for the guest performance. One fan, @mouseabolition, wrote, "I'm incapable of seeing Taraji P. Henson act without mentioning that her RANGE is inSANE like how does one sparkle in literally every role they've played I'm –." Another fan, @MrErnestOwens wrote, "So basically Taraji P. Henson is winning the Best Guest Actress in a Comedy Series Emmy this year after that stellar performance? Got it." And @siralphey called for the Academy to start engraving her Emmy already.

Finally, @willowhalliwell posted a video clip of a standing ovation and wrote what everyone else was thinking: "Taraji P. Henson has arrived!"
