"My God, I guess Canada kicked some ass on this one," said the Ontario-born star in a reaction interview with arts reporter and film critic Eli Glasner.
Meanwhile, Eugene's son and Schitt's Creek co-creator, Dan, also took to social media to celebrate.
All four leads — Eugene Levy, Catherine O’Hara, Daniel Levy and Annie Murphy — are nominated for their performances in the Canadian comedy series.

The series follows the formerly wealthy Rose family who are forced to relocate to Schitt's Creek, a small town they once purchased as a joke.
Many Canadian fans have taken to social media today to share their love for the hilarious homegrown show.
