While I’m salty that it won’t be competing with the big dogs in the drama category, I can accept it. However, there is absolutely no excuse for Peele not being nominated for best director or best screenplay. Neither of these categories are limited by genre, and Get Out should absolutely be recognized in them both. No matter which side of the horror-comedy debate you fall on, there is no denying that Get Out was a damn good movie. Daniel Kaluuya’s chair scene alone is better than most of the movies I’ve seen this year. (Kaluuya was rightfully nominated for best actor in a comedy or musical movie as a result of this effort.) The film completely redefined the horror genre and the way people of color are typically represented within it. But most importantly, it created a fresh opportunity to talk about thein a way that was both accessible and honest. This is a snub that stings in more ways than one.
