The writer and director made history on Sunday night at [the Academy Awards](http://time.com/5181916/oscars-red-carpet-photos-2018/) when he took home [the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay](http://time.com/5184780/jordan-peele-oscars-best-screenplay/) for his critically acclaimed horror film, _Get Out_, as the first African American recipient in that category ever. On Monday night, Peele took to his Twitter to share with his followers where he had found a home for his Oscar — sitting face-to-face with the Emmy Award he won for _Key & Peele_ in 2016\. Peel humorously captioned the photo: “This is exactly what it looked like watching my wife give birth.” Peele and wife, fellow comedian Chelsea Peretti, [welcomed a son, Beaumont Gino](http://people.com/babies/jordan-peele-chelsea-peretti-welcome-son-beaumont-gino/), last summer. > [](https://twitter.com/JordanPeele/status/970790443112841216) However, one of his Peele’s followers was quick to notice something sinister and familiar in the background behind the statuettes — the brown leather chair that ushered Chris into the sunken place in _Get Out_, something that Peele confirmed was the real deal. > [](https://twitter.com/JordanPeele/status/970812178314838017) ## Transcript This means so much to me. I stopped writing this movie about 20 times because I thought it was impossible. I thought it wasn't going to work. I thought no one would ever make this movie. But I kept coming back to it because I knew if someone let me make this movie that people would hear it and people would see it. My mother who taught me to love even in the face of hate and to everybody who went and saw this movie, everybody who bought a ticket who told somebody to buy a ticket, thank you. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5188033/jordan-peele-get-out-chair-oscars-2018/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5188033/jordan-peele-get-out-chair-oscars-2018/"},"headline":"Jordan Peele Is Keeping His Oscar in the Most Horrifying Place Imaginable.
