Scores of fans took to social media last night to react to Sylvester Stallone’s surprising Best Supporting Actor loss to Bridge of Spies’ Mark Rylance, including many famous names like one old friend – Arnold Schwarzenegger, who left Sly a heartfelt consolation video message:

Actor Carl Weathers echoed the sentiment of all Rocky fans with his Tweet:

Sly’s brother, Frank Stallone, expressed his outrage the morning after:
The Academy should be ashamed of themselves. It's as clear as the nose on your face that Sly won. Mark who? It's total Hollywood bullshit

The biggest shock of the night was Stallone not winning…#itsmy2cents

Stallone winning was what I was most invested in tonight. Rocky has done so much for people#Robbery #PeoplesChamp pic.twitter.com/CnAEnnTfUc

Wow. Mark Rylance is a great actor, but I really thought this would be Stallone’s moment. Audience seems stunned.

And actor Michael Rapaport, a huge Rocky fan, and Sly’s one-time co-star in 1997’s Cop Land, absolutely flipped out:
