Many people on Twitter thought the term 'upset' was being used to describe how people felt about Zendaya's win, instead of how likely she was to win.

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 best part about award shows, aren't the awards or even the shows, but the drama that comes with them. Usually its takes a day, unless something crazy happens, but last nights Emmy Awards came, with some drama that we wouldn't have predicted.

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.
