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.

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.
