While Jordan Peele has won plenty of awards, including a Peabody in 2013 for his work on Key & Peele, this is his first Oscar, and it was for his his directorial debut! So yeah, we don’t blame him for reacting this way on his Twitter page not long after winning one of those little golden trophies. I know if I won an Oscar for my first theatrical script, I would say something similar. During his acceptance speech, Peele acknowledged how much trouble he had cracking Get Out, but he eventually made it across the finish line, and it’s a good thing he did. Because along with the world getting to see his vision on the big screen, now Peele has an Oscar he can proudly display in his home.
