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.
