Jordan Peele decided to retire from acting at least in part due to The Emoji Movie. Peele is a true triple threat. After a decade of impressing audiences with his abilities as a writer and actor – often in the same projects such as TV series Key & Peele and the movie Keanu – he showed that he is also an incredibly capable director with his four-time Oscar nominated debut film Get Out. His nomination for Best Director makes Peele the fifth African-American director to be nominated for the award and the popular movie contributed to the success of horror films in 2017.
