There were surprises and there were snubs, but the pack is an impressive one. While we haven't heard reactions from the entire field, some of the nominees shared just how enthused they were on Twitter. Thanks to their tweets, we got to share in their laughter, tears, and emojis.
Some of the first-timers were particularly exuberant. (Can you blame them?)
