Stars had a hard time containing their excitement after the Emmy nominations were announced on Thursday morning.

Both Cat Deeley of "So You Think You Can Dance" and "Orange Is the New Black" star Uzo Aduba -- this year's Emmy noms announcers -- found out they received nods during the presentation.

"I feel blown away. Like if I was a leaf, I would have blown right off the stage," Aduba said.

"This gives me motivation to stay on my diet," said Jane Krakowski, a supporting actress nominee for "Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt."

Acting nominee Jeffrey Tambor said, "I will celebrate by jumping up and down at every alley and every step of the way in Paramount Studios. I will make a spectacle of myself."
