Zendaya became the youngest female actress to win an Emmy for the Leading Role in a tv series last night, when she won for her performance in HBO's "Euphoria", but a headline in the NyPost, which framed the win as an 'upset" was misconstrued by many who thought it was in ill-taste.

The NY Post wrote an article recapping the night and in their headline they referred to Zendaya's win as an 'upset', implying her win went against the status-quo, as a young and until now unrecognized actress. But people instead interpreted the statement as 'people being upset' that Zendaya won, two very different claims. So many people attacked the post saying, "who's upset? not me" and by doing so they, you guessed it became upset. So here ya go, some good and bad reactions to Zendaya's Emmy Upset.
