The accolades just keep coming in for Ava DuVernay and the cast of "Selma." The director was just nominated for a best director Golden Globe. "We’re very, very thrilled that the film was recognized," she told ABC in an interview after learning of the nod. "What a morning!"

And, as Tambay Obensen pointed out at Shadow and Act, she’s making history:

I should note that, with her nomination, Ava DuVernay makes history, becoming the first black woman director to be nominated for a Golden Globe Award for Best Director in the Motion Picture category. She’s on her way to doing the same, when the Oscar nominees are announced next month. Previous nominees of African descent in this category include Steve McQueen for "12 Years a Slave," and Spike Lee for "Do the Right Thing." It’s painfully incredible that between the years of 1990 to 2014 (24 looooongyears), there wasn’t a single black director (male or female) nominated for Best Director in the Motion Picture category! 

"Selma" also earned a nomination in the best motion picture drama category. See a full list of all the nominations here.
