This year's Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Awards nominations were announced Wednesday, giving some of Hollywood's stars a reason to celebrate.

Some honorees took to social media to share their elation. Here are a few of our favorites — just a head's up — you might want to grab some tissue because there were some tears.

Viola Davis

The actress needed more than 140 characters to convey her gratitude for the recognition Fences received.

Kerry Washington 

Oh, a SAG nomination? It's handled.

Sarah Paulson

The actress cried happy tears over her first SAG nomination for her portrayal as Marcia Clark on The People v. O.J. Simpson.

Rami Malek

Don't worry. We're seeing the Mr. Robot star's tweet, too.

Uzo Aduba 

Will the Orange Is the New Black actress thank Dandelion if she wins?

Sterling K. Brown

The star cried in an emotional video as he shared how much being recognized by his peers meant to him.

Riz Ahmed 

The Night Of star is guilty of being excited about his nod.

Audra McDonald 

The actress recognizes she's in good company.

Evan Rachel Wood 

The Westworld actress congratulated her co-star, Thandie Newton, on her nod for outstanding performance by a female actor in a drama series and the cast of the HBO series for their two ensemble nominations.

John Turturro

The Night Of actor could win in this case.

Tituss Burgess

Perhaps because it's a little early for Pinot Noir, the Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt actor left the wine emoji off of his tweet.
