Peele, 39, kept his acceptance speech relatively brief, appearing to be in disbelief.
“This means so much to me,” Peele said. “I stopped writing this movie about 20 times because I thought it was impossible. I thought it wasn’t going to work.
“I want to dedicate this to all the people who raised my voice and let me make this movie,” he said.
