The Boss Baby, a kids' movie starring Alec Baldwin as the voice of a briefcase-holding baby who has the mind of an adult, managed to receive an Oscar nomination for Best Animated Feature Film on Tuesday--and film fans were appalled. Here are 10 of the funniest reactions on Twitter:

The Boss Baby. Cancel the Oscars.
First, Academy Award-winning Suicide Squad. Now, Academy Award-nominated The Boss Baby.
I thought people were joking about #TheBossBaby being #Oscar nominated but nope it's for real.
I seriously doubt that any of you chuckleheads groaning about The Boss Baby getting an Oscar nomination have actually seen it, because if you HAD, you’d be much, much angrier.

THE BOSS BABY is now an Oscar-nominated film. What have you people done?
