And The Award For Best Oscar Nomination Reaction Goes To ... Jordan Peele
Jordan Peele’s critically acclaimed horror film, “Get Out,” nabbed four Oscar nominations Tuesday, including best picture, best director, best original screenplay and best actor for Daniel Kaluuya.
In response to the news, Peele posted a GIF from the film that seemed to perfectly capture the way he felt.

Then he shared this delightful slice of life.

All the love for the film is enough to make anyone low-key cry, and we swear we’re totally not doing that right now.
