The Emmy Awards are coming, and Netflix's Queer Eye reboot snagged a few nominations. Can you believe?!

On Thursday, the Queer Eye cast — Jonathan Van Ness, Tan France, Karamo Brown, Bobby Berk, and Antoni Porowski — learned their show had received four nominations. Van Ness was also nominated for the Funny or Die parody web series, "Gay Of Thrones," for which he serves as an executive producer.

Clearly the Fab Five had a lot to celebrate, and lucky for us their initial reactions were caught on camera. Their genuine excitement is so pure it will have you ugly crying as though you're watching the show for the first time.

On a video shared to Van Ness's Instagram profile, the caption reads: "The moment I found out about #gayofthrones, we all just had found out about @queereye 4 nominations, all my friends here are so supportive and excited for my success as much as theirs. Gay of Thrones was a baby idea @gibblertron and I had that literally was a pipe dream. This is incredible, so many thanks so much love, here is to all our dreams 💙"

Berk also shared video of the team gathered at the loft where they film much of the show, and...DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY TISSUES?

Queer Eye earned nominations in the following four categories:

  • Outstanding Structured Reality Program

  • Outstanding Casting For A Reality Program

  • Outstanding Picture Editing For A Structured Or Competition Reality Program

  • Outstanding Cinematography For A Reality Program — "To Gay Or Not Too Gay" episode

After the announcement, Netflix and the cast members proceeded to flood Twitter with thanks to the fans, writers, producers, and members of the crew.

In addition to a precious group selfie, Van Ness shared a celebratory video of himself and France dancing to Drake's song, "In My Feelings." We are so blessed.

😭 Congratulations, Fab Five. Season 2 of Queer Eye just dropped on Netflix, for those who've yet to see what all the hype's about.
