PHOTOS: Celebrity Selfies: Our 20 Favs
Access Hollywood takes a close look at some of the icons (Unicode even created mockup previews of what they'll look like) our favorite celebrities are bound to be using in 2016 when the official new additions are revealed:
- Selfie: Kim (and the rest of the Kardashian/Jenner clan) will be using this on the daily!
- Drooling Face: Now we can handle our #ManCrushMonday and Chris Hemsworth posts with just one character – the Fox & Prince emojis will also suffice.
- Lying Face: News about celebrities caught on Ashley Madison and our "Pretty Little Liars" recaps just got a whole lot easier!
- Wilted Flower, Black Heart & Raise Back Of Hand: When the Sad Face or Broken Heart emojis just can't capture your feelings appropriately and also perfect for every future celebrity split story.
- Left-Facing & Right-Facing Fists: When paired together, these will be perfect for squashing a celeb feud – you're welcome Calvin Harris & Zayn Malik! And we're guessing Donald Trump might be using his next year as well.
- Bat: Just in time for the era of Ben Affleck as Batman!
- Man Dancing Emoji: Now they have to make a "Magic Mike 3" just so we can use this one!
- Cucumber: Eggplant emoji, you're just been dethroned as the best inadvertently inappropriate icon… also the future emoji that will be most used by male "Bachelor in Paradise" contestants.

And if all this emoji news wasn't enough to rock your keyboard to its core, in addition to the 38 candidates, Unicode also announced that 14 other icons are in the running, including: Butterfly, Deer, Gorilla, Lizard, Rhinoceros, Leg, Sneezing Face, Baguette Bread, Green Salad, Stuffed Flatbread, Shallow Pan Of Food, Tumbler Glass, Drum With Drumsticks, Shopping Trolley and Spoon.
Finally, a Shallow Pan Of Food and Stuffed Flatbread emojis! These are great times we live in people [insert Man Dancing icon]!
