With Thursday's announcement of the 67th Primetime Emmy nominations, nominees and executives respond and rejoice on social media to the news. From Amy Schumer to Viola Davis, B&C has compiled their reactions.
"7 nominees? Clearly men in comedy is SO much more weighty and important than any other sex or category. You’re welcome, America.”
—Don Cheadle, star of House of Lies
"I’m really honored to be considered again and I’m especially proud of our writers Jeffrey Klarik and David Crane for their well-deserved nomination. We are all flattered that the voters have kept EPISODES in mind since we were on so early in the year. A heartfelt thank you to SHOWTIME for all their support these past four seasons.”
—Matt LeBlanc, star of Episodes
"When Matt called to congratulate us this morning, we assumed it was to thank us for his nomination. It took us a few seconds to register that he was actually talking about us! It really caught us both off guard. Now that it’s begun to sink in, I’m feeling kind of nauseous and as happy as the Zoloft allows me to be. David is very happy, excited and proud – as well as slightly concerned at how disconnected I am from my feelings. I guess for me the best part of all this is that the nomination comes from our fellow writers. Because only they can appreciate what a grinding, frustrating, mostly joyless, self-loathing process comedy writing can be."
—David Crane and Jeffrey Klarik, Episodes creators and executive producers
"We are thrilled to be nominated for Project Runway as we kick off our 14th season of the show! Thank you to all of our Project Runway fans!"

Receiving a Primetime Emmy Award nomination is immensely gratifying and great validation for Acorn TV, our partnership with Agatha Christie Limited, and the kinds of high quality, lavish productions we’re producing and premiering for our rapidly growing fan base of British mystery and drama.”
