2015 Emmy Award Nominations: Social Media Reaction

— -- There was immediate reactions on social media to today’s Emmy nominations.

“Game of Thrones” was the overall leader, with an impressive 24 nods, and a close second was “American Horror Story: Freak Show” with 19.

“Mad Men” and “House of Cards” both had very strong showings with multiple nods during the 67th Emmy nominations, announced this morning in Los Angeles by “Orange Is the New Black” star Uzo Aduba and “So You Think You Can Dance” host Cat Deeley.

But it was the newcomers and first-time nominees, including Oscar nominee Viola Davis, comedian Amy Schumer and new Netflix series “Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt,” who got the most cheers on social media.

As always, there were plenty of jeers from fans whose favorites, such as “Black-ish,” “Outlander” and Kerry Washington, failed to make the list.

Here’s a quick round up social media’s reaction to the 67th Emmy nominations:

As expected, Aduba’s reaction to hearing her name called for her second Emmy nomination while on stage is already a GIF.

Fans of Tatiana Maslany were celebrating her long-deserved first nomination.

So were Amy Schumer fans. Her breakout year continues with her show “Inside Amy Schumer” landing seven nominations.

“Parks and Recreation” finished its run with noms for outstanding comedy and its star Amy Poehler.

Another strong finisher, Jessica Lange, ended her run with “American Horror Story,” with her fourth Emmy nomination for her work on the show.

There was plenty of chatter about the shows and stars who got snubbed.

While “Empire” and “Black-ish” failed to make the outstanding drama and comedy lists, their stars Taraji P. Henson and Anthony Anderson respectively did get Emmy nominations.
