Jordan Peele onGet OutOscar noms: 'I hope everybody gets to feel like this'

It means a lot, it means a lot, he says of that particular nomination.

Spike Lee, John Singleton, the Hughes brothers were all very inspiring.

I woke up, turned on my phone, and found so many warm messages from people.

I hope everybody gets to feel like this.

What exactly was that conversation like?I basically devolved into a crying mess on the phone with him.

He was in a different phase of acceptance.

[Laughs] He was laughing in disbelief and just in this state of joy.

We were experiencing the same emotion in very different ways.

But the phone call just felt like one long bro-hug.

BetweenGet OutandThe Shape of Water, this years Oscars nominations represent a very big day for horror.Yeah.

Thats another piece of this that just fills me with pride.

Its my favorite genre.

One last question: How does this experience compare toguest-editing an issue of Entertainment Weekly with Keegan-Michael Key?

[Laughs] You know what?

So, its all part of the same joy.
