Jordan Peele has won Best Original Screenplay at the 2018 Academy Awards for Get Out. “I want to dedicate this to everyone who raised my voice and let me make this movie,” he said. “To everybody who went and saw this movie—everybody who bought a ticket, who told somebody to buy a ticket. I love you for shouting out at the theater, for shouting out at the screen. Let’s keep going.” Peele made history as the first black screenwriter to win Best Original Screenplay.
