Julia Roberts isn’t taking her Emmy nomination “snub” to heart.
The Oscar-winning actress stars as social worker Heidi Bergman in the Amazon series “Homecoming,” which she also executive produces, but was shut out from a nomination on Tuesday. Roberts posted her reaction to social media after a push alert on her phone claimed she and other stars had been snubbed.
“Well, I’m in exceptional company at least,” Roberts captioned a screengrab of the push alert, which read, “Biggest Emmy nomination snubs: Julia Roberts, George Clooney and Emma Stone among the A-listers shut out.”
Fans and friends praised the 51-year-old “Pretty Woman” star’s response.
