'The Boss Baby' was nominated for an Oscar, and the Internet can barely handle it

Announced Tuesday morning, the Oscar nominees for best animated feature include a surprise nod for the DreamWorks Animation film alongside The Breadwinner, Coco, Ferdinand and Loving Vincent.

"Boss Baby nominated for more Oscars than Wonder Woman," read another tweet.
