The Oscars were announced this afternoon and snubs were, of course, the first thing everyone was talking about

Quentin Tarantino and Aaron Sorkin were also top of the list

Mad Max fans were feeling the love for this year's nominations, though

But they did feel the film was the victim of a major snub too

One guy who wasn't overlooked – much to everyone's delight – was Sylvester Stallone

Everyone cheered loudly when they announced Sly Stallone's nom for best supporting actor :) #OscarNoms

Idris Elba, however, wasn't so lucky

And with no nominations for Beasts of No Nation – and only a screenplay nod for Straight Outta Compton – it didn't take long for people to point out the lack of diversity in the line-up

Fans of Star Wars were delighted to see The Force Awakens appearing among the nominees

However, they were annoyed it wasn’t in the running for the big one

There was only ONE man everyone was talking about, though...

Surely 2016 will be his year? SURELY?

What could possibly go wrong?

This year it's going to be close! (again!) #OscarNoms pic.twitter.com/SeZWKFpimz

At least the Academy got one VERY important thing right, eh?

Proper order.
