Reactions to the Emmy nominations announced Thursday have poured in:

Jim Parsons, Lead Actor in a Comedy Series: "Firstly, may I say how much more civilized it is to hear the nominations while on the East Coast, where they occur after 8 a.m.? Secondly, I am over the moon that our show was nominated. I am so proud to be a part of The Big Bang Theory always - so this chance for the whole team to be recognized and celebrate together is really thrilling. And, finally, I am so damn happy for Johnny Galecki. We have worked side by side for over four years now, so believe me when I tell you how richly deserved this is for him."

Johnny Galecki, Lead Actor in a Comedy Series: "All the coffee in Colombia could not catch my brain up to my heart's pace this morning ... And I am absolutely ecstatic that the show itself and everyone's hard work there has been recognized as well."

Matt LeBlanc, Lead Actor in a Comedy Series [Episodes]: "I'm honored to be considered and very proud of our show. Everyone worked so hard, and I'm even more excited about the writing nomination for Jeffrey and David. They definitely deserve it. I'm looking forward to going back to work soon on Season 2. It's going to be a blast."

Alec Baldwin, Lead Actor in a Comedy Series: "I'm very grateful to the academy and I'm looking forward to Season 6 of 30 Rock."

Edie Falco, Lead Actress in a Comedy Series [Nurse Jackie]: "I am thrilled and honored to be in the company of such talented women."

Amy Poehler, Lead Actress in a Comedy Series [Parks and Recreation]: "I am happy to be included in such a funny group of women, and hope the Emmy is ultimately decided by a series of high-pressure penalty kicks, World Cup-style."

Hugh Laurie, Lead Actor in a Drama Series [House]: "I m very excited. This time I'm going to put a whole rabbit on my keychain."

Julia Stiles, Outstanding Guest Actress in a Drama Series: "It's such an honor to be nominated. What a nice surprise. This was my first experience working in Television and I am so proud to have been a part of Dexter and to be in such good company with my fellow nominees."
