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.

But he didn’t stop there. He then made another clever reference to his movie.
What’s the opposite of the Sunken Place?

Then he shared this delightful slice of life.
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.
— Jordan Peele (@JordanPeele) January 23, 2018
And then he got all humble on us.
Right now I’m just thinking about everyone who bought a ticket and told someone else to. You did this. Thank you. ✊🏾

People on Twitter were equally excited that the film, which addresses the dangers of racism, snagged four nominations.

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.
We swear it!
