The 2015 Emmy nominations were announced this morning, as you’re probably already aware by now. If you haven’t read the complete list, GO DO THAT NOW and come back.
Okay, are we all caught up? For once, the nominations weren’t a complete disappointment, save for Modern Family being the lone turd in an otherwise stellar lineup of noms for Outstanding Comedy Series, about which Burnsy promises to write 5,000 words of pure hate when it inevitably wins.
On that note, there were a lot of strong opinions on Twitter, so here are some of the best from our favorite internet personalities, comedians, and actors nominated. The first comes from Uproxx favorite Amy Schumer, who celebrated her Inside Amy Schumer noms in what appears to be her makeup from the previous night:

Schumer also congratulated fellow nominee Tatiana Maslany, because it’s about damn time:

In fact, most of the internet reactions had to do with Maslany’s nomination:
TATIANA! TATIANA! TATIANA! TATIANA! TATIANA! TATIANA! TATIANA! TATIANA! TATIANA! TATIANA! TATIANA!
We don't have to burn the streets y'all!

Now I'm worried that every Best Actress Emmy nominee is Tatiana Maslany.

Maslany herself also shared words of gratitude:
