The Emmys 2017 was always bound to be a hotbed of controversy, what with some of the most over-inflated egos in existence converging in one place. There’s just one problem: the internet feeds on controversy. Anything you say and do will be a GIF online in an instant. Thankfully, the denizens on Twitter were on hand to provide a sampling of raised eyebrows, WTF faces and downright bizarre behaviour to the people of the world. Thank you for your service.

From a semi-serious nominee meltdown to a few barbed shots at Barb from Stranger Things and a smattering of Westworld: here are the best reactions to the 2017 Emmys. Be sure to sound off in the comments below about your favourite Emmys moment – and you can see the full list of Emmys 2017 winners here.

Behold: an award-winning strop

Best moment of the #Emmys so far: Jackie Hoffman yelling "dammit!!" when she lost to Laura Dern pic.twitter.com/euCWaRFsAy18 September 2017

Stranger Things snubs

Yo @HandmaidsOnHulu, really happy for you. I'mma let you finish but @Stranger_Things is one of the best dramas of all time! #Emmys pic.twitter.com/1nBJEHdRur18 September 2017

stranger things didn't win because the academy doesn't like awarding children and young people and they hate winona ryder18 September 2017

What about Westworld?

If you're watching the Emmys, let me help you out. WestWorld should win all the awards and is the best show on tv.18 September 2017

Both Stranger Things and Westworld were eons better than The Handmaid's Tale.18 September 2017

How do you snub Westworld to this degree?!?! I NEED ANSWERS NOW!!!!! #Emmys pic.twitter.com/I8IbfLuUEW18 September 2017

At least Maeve (and mini Maeve) seem pleased

Me and Maeve @WestworldHBO are heading to the #TheEmmys pic.twitter.com/pyXcrRRPVQ17 September 2017

Even if something was a little... off with the Emmys Host

The maze was not meant for you, Host Colbert.@StephenAtHome @colbertlateshow #Westworld #Emmys pic.twitter.com/i6sg5cEJZB18 September 2017

Is Donald Glover the GOAT? Yes. Yes, he is.

Donald Glover is the GOAT at everything he does it's mad inspiring18 September 2017

Donald Glover has succeeded as a writer, actor, comedian, director, and musician. He's talent personified.18 September 2017

Barb is dead. Dead happy to be at the Emmys

The Emmys were great and I can officially confirm that I have a crush on everyone there.18 September 2017

Though not everyone agrees

I decided to boycott the #Emmys when Barb from Stranger Things was nominated and Carrie Coon for The Leftovers wasn’t. What a joke.17 September 2017

BARB was on camera for like 7 min on Stranger Things but she was such a colossal LOSER she got nominated for an Emmy pic.twitter.com/SWEn1ggKVu18 September 2017

Laura Dern won. Thank God.

If Laura Dern doesn't win an Emmy tonight I will shed my human form and haunt Academy of Television Arts & Sciences until the end of time17 September 2017

congratulations laura dern on you well deserved emmy for big little lies you really did that #emmys pic.twitter.com/cMx24dvXNx18 September 2017

AND SO DID SAN JUNIPERO!!!

SAN JUNIPERO WINNING AN AWARD IS THE PLOT TWIST I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR #Emmys18 September 2017

The Emmys even managed to throw up a few monster mash-ups

Who knew? #Demogorgon #Moves #StrangerThings #Emmys pic.twitter.com/zhVKaDaJ3F18 September 2017

Including one of 2017's biggest villains, Sean Spicer

Senior Entertainment Writer

I'm the Senior Entertainment Writer here at GamesRadar+, focusing on news, features, and interviews with some of the biggest names in film and TV. On-site, you'll find me marveling at Marvel and providing analysis and room temperature takes on the newest films, Star Wars and, of course, anime. Outside of GR, I love getting lost in a good 100-hour JRPG, Warzone, and kicking back on the (virtual) field with Football Manager. My work has also been featured in OPM, FourFourTwo, and Game Revolution.
