The 2018 Oscar nominations were announced earlier this morning, and barely a moment passed before Twitter chimed in to do what it does best: Fervently react. From the applause for Greta Gerwig's best director nomination to the anger on behalf of Tiffany Haddish, people had a lot to say. See below:

Greta already received an Oscar in my heart for incorporating Dave Matthew’s Crash into her movie so poignantly. And now she did in real life!!!! Congratulations #LadyBird! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

I love that Netflix finally broke through in the Oscar categories with a movie directed by Dee Rees, a Black woman. Please remember this - don't ever undervalue or underestimate us. #OscarNoms
