In perhaps one of the biggest shockers of the night, Grease: Live! beat out Beyoncé's Lemonade for Outstanding Directing for a Variety Special at the 2016 Emmys on Sunday—and Twitter had a lot to say about it.
.@Beyonce is probably sitting at home right now being all like, "Whatever, I'm still Beyoncé." ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ #Emmys pic.twitter.com/hEX7LqMn8BSeptember 19, 2016
Despite the fact that many predicted Bey might lose after she didn't even show up to the award show, people were nonetheless surprised when it actually came to fruition. Here are just some of the funniest responses the internet had to offer.
