Entertainment journalists aren’t the only ones out there with an opinion about this year’s Emmy nods. If you haven’t met the Internet, it’s chock full of folks with no shortage of something to say. Many are spot-on, and others, we suspect secretly live under footbridges, feeding on souls and living only to spread misery. Nevertheless, they can all be loud, hilarious and (warning!) foul-mouthed when it comes to online outrage and excitement, depending on what side of the nominations you stand. (Plus: See how this year’s Emmy nominees reacted and visit the TV Insider Emmys page for more coverage.)

Some famous Orphan Black fans couldn’t contain themselves…

TATIANA! TATIANA! TATIANA! TATIANA! TATIANA! TATIANA! TATIANA! TATIANA! TATIANA! TATIANA! TATIANA!

We don't have to burn the streets y'all!

Nor could some Orphan Black stars…

Some fans of The Americans were generous despite their disappointment…

YOU GUYS, I am SO HAPPY for Tatiana, but the fact that Keri Russell was ignored AGAIN is EGREGIOUS. #EmmyNoms

Others were dismissive…

The #emmys lose all credibility by ignoring the best show on TV @TheAmericansFX

And some took it out on innocent victims.

Looked at list of Best Drama series. The Americans is not on it. Throw TV out window.

Happiness reigned in parts of the Empire camp…

While its Best Drama snub got others all fired up.

Wait @EmpireFOX wasn't nominated for an #emmy – I call bullshit! #emmynom #EmpireFOX

As did Outlander’s…

@Outlander_Starz @SamHeughan @caitrionambalfe No matter what the dumbass #emmys say, you are our superstars! #EmmysForOutlander

And Marvel’s Agent Carter…

Marvel's Agent Carter was completely snubbed. No #Emmys nods.

And The Mindy Project.

Of course another year #themindyproject doesn't get recognized by the #Emmys pic.twitter.com/0RVNt4cAFi

Some spoke bueno of the dead…

Hannibal… 0 nominaciones #Emmys

— cinelander (@cinelander) July 16, 2015

Others were less-than-rapturous…

How can The fucking Newsroom and GOT get nominations and not The Leftovers aka the ONLY HBO show other than Veep that matters?? #Emmys

— M💎lly (@onlyoneloislane) July 16, 2015

And at least one tweeted from 2003…

Still don't understand how streaming shows on Netflix can be eligible for #Emmys – if I can't find it with my remote, then it is not on TV.

But everyone had their favorites…

Favorite random nomination: Jon Hamm for Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt. #Emmys

— Brittany J (@brittej) July 16, 2015

Jim Parsons as Sheldon is lovely, yes, but… What happend with @JustifiedFX? This was the last chance for them! Great cast & story! #Emmys

Even if celebrating them meant blowing out one candle to make another shine brighter…

Loving the #Emmys nominations. Pumped BETTER CALL SAUL got so much love, also happy Jim Parsons got none.

Or just speaking the truth…

Emmy nominations are like Christmas morning, and Modern Family is like the same exact nail polish my mom puts in my stocking year after year
