It’s Emmy nominations morning, and Hollywood is overflowing with stars celebrating their recognition.

From social media missives to statements from publicists, everyone was excited to be embraced by the Television Academy.

Comedian Tiffany Haddish, who was nominated for her work hosting “Saturday Night Live,” slyly suggested that she might buy a new dress for the occasion. (Does that mean she’s retiring that famous Alexander McQueen dress she got plenty of use out of during last awards season?)

Theater all-star Lin-Manuel Miranda went low-key with his appreciation for the nomination for a guest turn on “Curb Your Enthusiasm,” referencing the show’s famous catchphrase and calling himself, “Pretty, pretty, pretty grateful.”


Stay tuned for more celebrity reactions throughout the day.

“Making ‘RuPaul’s Drag Race’ is a labor of love. The fact that members of the Television Academy have recognized that passion by nominating us for 12 Emmys is a true honor.
