Jordan Peele is over the moon about his Oscar nominations for “Get Out.”

The director took to Twitter Tuesday to react to the exciting news that his horror-comedy film was nominated in the Best Picture, Directing, Actor in a Leading Role (Daniel Kaluuya) and Original Screenplay categories.

“What’s the opposite of the Sunken Place?” he tweeted. “I just spoke to Daniel. You know when you’re on the phone trying to disguise the sound of an ugly cry? I failed at that.”

Peele, 38, continued to express his delight and thank his fans for his big morning.

“Right now I’m just thinking about everyone who bought a ticket and told someone else to. You did this. Thank you,” he continued.

Peele’s wife, Chelsea Peretti, also shared in her husband’s excitement.

“AND OUR BABY SLEPT THRU THE NITE W NO MILK!” she tweeted.

You know what if the awards give more shine to the actors involved then more power to them, and if Jordan Peele becomes one of Americas great Black directors and opens more doors for others than that'd great too.
