Reactions to Emmy Noms on Twitter

Twitter was abuzz with reactions to the Emmy’s yesterday. In a matter of minutes, fans, celebrities, and nominees jumped online to comment, so given all of the excitement and displeasure flooding the twittersphere we thought we’d share a few of our favorite tweets.

For Julie Bowen, nominated as outstanding supporting actress in a comedy series for “Modern Family,” the news brightened her whole day.

Thank you, Emmys for the nomination! It takes the sting out of getting shot in the head with a paintball gun. By my own kid.
