Julia Roberts has had the best reaction to being snubbed in the Emmy nominations 2019 for her first major TV role in Homecoming.

The actor, who played social worker Heidi Bergman in the Amazon thriller series as well as executive producing the show, did not receive a single nomination for this year’s awards.

“Well, I’m in exceptional company at least,” Roberts wrote on Instagram alongside a screenshot of her phone, with a push notification saying she was snubbed alongside Catch 22 star George Clooney and Maniac’s Emma Stone.

Roberts missed out in the leading actress in a drama series category, which saw nominations for Emilia Clarke (Game of Thrones), Jodie Comer (Killing Eve), Viola Davis (How to Get Away With Murder), Laura Linney (Ozark), Mandy Moore (This Is Us), Sandra Oh (Killing Eve) and Robin Wright (House of Cards).
