MovieStillsDB  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.
