Emmys 2017 Reactions: Stars Tweet About This Year's Nominations
First come nominations, and then come reactions.
Following Thursday's announcement of the nominees for the 89th annual Primetime Emmy Awards, Twitter quickly became a hotbed of excitement. Fans, critics, cast, and crew alike soon began responding to the news, many choosing to celebrate in 140 characters. As always, their enthusiasm came in the form of hashtags, emoji, memes, and GIFs, because how else would one express happiness in the age of the internet?
Individual nominees, in particular, had a lot to be thankful for, and they got tweeting.

While numerous actors who were honored individually spoke up, they weren't the only happy ones out there. Other celebrities were proud to see their series get a nod or wanted to cheer on a co-star or loved one.
