Kaley Cuoco is in a celebratory mood.

The 35-year-old actress is among those in Hollywood to have been honored with an Emmy nomination Tuesday morning. Cuoco was recognized for her work in HBO Max's "The Flight Attendant,"

The show sees her play a jet-setting partier who, after a night out on the town with one of her passengers, wakes up next to his dead body and no memory of what happened the night before.

Despite getting an early start in Hollywood as a young star, Tuesday's Emmy nomination was Cuoco's first. Emmys are considered a top-tier award in the television industry.

In the first clip, the pajama-clad "Big Bang Theory" alum sits on a couch watching the nomination announcement, and when her name is called, she perks up, smiles and laughs.

She then turns to the camera and in a raspy voice, says, "I have no voice to say how happy I am!" She then continues to laugh, cheer and clap.
