One person tried to mock Cheadle’s nomination, urging him to “step down and make a spot for someone that did a bit more,” to which another user pointed out, “Tell me you don’t understand award nominations without saying you don’t understand award nominations” to the guest appearance category.

Judi Dench won an Oscar with only 8 minutes of screen time. You could win with only 2 mins. That would make you 4x better than Judi! pic.twitter.com/dyrOF7s7dR
