The nominations for the 89th Annual Academy Awards were announced Tuesday morning – and La La Land led charge with 14 nominations, making it the most nominated musical of all time._  by [Raisa Bruner](https://time.com/author/raisa-bruner/)  ## Raisa Bruner Jan 24, 2017 4:56 PM UTC  by [Raisa Bruner](https://time.com/author/raisa-bruner/)  ## Raisa Bruner Jan 24, 2017 4:56 PM UTC In the end, only one anti-hero superhero movie could go for Oscar gold this year, and this time Ryan Reynolds’ [smart-mouthed fan favorite _Deadpool_](http://time.com/4274867/deadpool-box-office-record/?iid=sr-link2) was [shut out of nominations](http://time.com/4635815/2017-oscars-nominations-list/?iid=sr-link1). This news comes even after Reynolds pitched the Oscars directly on Twitter. Twitter, of course, is having none of it—especially since the [superhero movie _Suicide Squad_](http://time.com/4430396/suicide-squad-review/?iid=sr-link1) did receive a nomination (for Best Makeup, but still). Here’s a roundup of the best responses of outrage and surprise, expressed in appropriately cheeky fashion. (Even Reynolds himself had something to say.) > [](https://twitter.com/osteoferocious/status/823887758317920258) > [](https://twitter.com/johncampea/status/823888136803471361) > [](https://twitter.com/hanxine/status/823890158646857729) > [](https://twitter.com/KevinMcCarthyTV/status/823902904318836736) > [](https://twitter.com/DFM2099/status/823899483356311554) > [](https://twitter.com/catberryphoto/status/823915400282906625) > [](https://twitter.com/RR416/status/823893654406307842) > [](https://twitter.com/swaniswarchief/status/823914421638598657) > [](https://twitter.com/TimLandesJr/status/823912910825160705) > [](https://twitter.com/1077Fuego/status/823917992643883010) > [](https://twitter.com/AnnaJKlassen/status/823918240770293761) **UPDATE:** Reynolds himself also took to Twitter to express his alternative plans for Oscar evening in a typically funny and gracious manner. > [](https://twitter.com/VancityReynolds/status/823909731811131393) ## Transcript I'm especially honored to help announce this year's nominees for best picture.
