Jordan Peele had a lot to celebrate Tuesday morning, including an Oscar nomination for director.
The honor makes the "Get Out" filmmaker just the fifth black director nominated for the award, a distinguished group that includes John Singleton for 1991's "Boyz n the Hood," Lee Daniels for 2009's "Precious," Steve McQueen for 2013's "12 Years a Slave" and Barry Jenkins for last year's best-picture winner, "Moonlight."
There is history left to be made, however. Peele could become the first black director to win the Academy Award.
Meanwhile, no female black directors _ no, not even Ava DuVernay or Dee Rees _ have ever been nominated for a directing Oscar.
