Jordan Peele is officially halfway to an EGOT [3]! The 39-year-old actor, writer, and director won an Emmy for best variety sketch series in 2016 for his Comedy Central series Key & Peele [4], and this week, he added a shiny new Oscar statue to his growing collection. On Monday, Jordan tweeted a photo of his Academy Award — he became the first black writer to win best original screenplay [5] thanks to his incredible debut film, Get Out — standing with his Emmy, joking, "This is exactly what it looked like watching my wife give birth."

Jordan's wife, Brooklyn Nine-Nine star Chelsea Peretti [6], welcomed their first child, a baby boy named Beaumont Gino Peele [7], in July 2017 — we wonder if he's met Oscar yet?
