Earlier this year, people were captivated by the performances of Nicole Kidman, Reese Witherspoon, and a host of other actors on the HBO miniseries Big Little Lies.
This morning, both Kidman and Witherspoon, who served as executive producers on the show, were also nominated for Emmys in the Outstanding Lead Actress in a Limited Series or Movie category.
Witherspoon is a first-time Emmy nominee, and this is Kidman's second nomination ever. She was first up for an Emmy in 2012 for her role in Hemingway & Gellhorn .
Laura Dern and Shailene Woodley, who played the roles of Renata Klein and Jane Chapman respectively, were nominated in the Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Limited Series or Movie category.
Big Little Lies has a fervent fanbase, especially on Twitter, and people took to the platform to express their happiness for the actors' nominations.
It's official: Nicole Kidman is an Emmy award nominee!!
All of the women on the show gave searing performances in their respective roles, and the internet showered them with praise.
