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

You’ll never escape life on the Creek, Pacey Witter.

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.

People are losing it over this old Dawson’s Creek clip

An absolutely perfect scene.

In 1998, The WB debuted a show called Dawson’s Creek as part of a string of shows aimed at the teen audience. It became an immediate hit, thrusting its young cast into instant stardom. If you were alive at the time, you probably remember some of the controversy stirred up by the racy storylines or at the very least some of the magazine covers featuring James Van Der Beek or Joshua Jackson.

What you probably don’t remember was this absolutely incredible shot from the show’s first season.

This clip, tweeted by Canadian filmmaker Jay Cheel, comes from Season 1, Episode 7, titled “Detention”, and features a stunt involving a basketball that seems so improbable some actually thought it might be computer animated.

 

This shot is so mind-blowingly impressive that it prompted a serious discussion from film fans on Twitter, as well as people impressed with Joshua Jackson’s ability to take one for the team.
