Not everyone can release a statement on an Emmy nomination in Dothraki like Emilia Clarke did, but that doesn’t mean that they’re falling out of favor with fans because of it. Mayim Bialik’s reaction to her nomination is just as awesome.

The “Big Bang Theory” actress landed a nod in the Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series category at the Emmys 2013 and, in a statement to Us Weekly, she professed herself “legitimately in shock.”

“I am legitimately in shock and beyond honored to be nominated for the second year in a row alongside the inspirational Jim Parsons and our fantastically written show,” she says.

“I can't begin to express how shocked I am to be nominated with such an impressive group of women. Wow! Now I have to find a dress,” the actress adds.

The Emmys 2013 will take place on September 22 and air live on CBS. We’ll see then if Mayim also gets to take the much coveted statuette home.
