The Golden Globes nominations have been announced and hoo boy, the people are... mad.

You see, they're are a bit strange.

The Crown,Schitt's CreekandOzarklead the pack of television nominees, which also included newcomers The Great,Ted Lasso, The Flight Attendant andEmily in Paris.

Yes, as in the Emily in Paris we all knew was a truly nad show, yet watched the whole way through.

Watch: The trailer for I May Destroy You, arguably this year's biggest snub. Post continues below video.

For the first time ever, female filmmakers have the majority of nominations in the director category. Top contenders in the film categories includeNomadland, Promising Young Woman andThe Trial of the Chicago 7.

There is controversy over the nomination of Sia's filmMusic, which has faced criticism for casting a non-autistic woman in the role of the non-verbal title character.

Other nominations receiving objections include James Corden for Best Actor-Comedy or Musical for his role inThe Prom and the major snub of actress Michaela Coel and her drama I May Destroy You, which documented the aftermath of sexual assault.

Given the widespread panning of Corden's performance, and the major critic and public praising ofI May Destroy You, the noms do seem out of touch with the actual world, outside of the Hollywood bubble.

And social media sure did make its feelings known.

Winners will be announced during a televised ceremony on February 28 but before then, please see below for all the thoughts, feelings and... memes about the Golden Globes nominations.

James Corden acts gay for two hours and gets a Golden Globe nomination, I act straight for 23 years and all I get is trauma

The Golden Globe nominations always read like a drunk person trying not to sound drunk. Everything's normal and then you think, "Did you just say James Corden in 'The Prom'?"

Wait — so the hollywood foreign press really looked at their ballots and picked Emily in Paris over Insecure. And Lily Collins over Issa Rae. They really did that. #GoldenGlobes pic.twitter.com/fAk8kZel1m

The next time you're overcome by imposter syndrome just take a deep breath and remember that "Emily in Paris" got nominated for a Golden Globe.

No it’s actually CRIMINAL to not recognize Michaela Coel for what she did, not just w trauma or sexual assault or consent, but w friendship and art and power and healing! I May Destroy You was an artist executing a singular vision, pure and focused #GoldenGlobes

No song noms for Eurovision is a Hague-level international war crime

“I May Destroy You” is one of the most creative, devastating, forward-thinking seasons of TV I’ve ever seen and the fact that it got no Golden Globes nominations while Emily In Paris got a bunch is pretty gross
