In case you haven’t heard, Get Out will be considered for the comedy category at the 2018 Golden Globes.
Considering the heavy subject matter surrounding the ever present racism in our country — we can see why people are scratching their heads!
In fact, the film’s director Jordan Peele and actors from the wildly popular movie are offering their two cents, too!

‘Get Out’ is a documentary.

Black people look big mad that Get Out has been submitted to the Golden Globes as a comedy. I don’t think anybody took half a beat before dropping their hot take. So here’s mine. I took two beats first. ├░┼╕ΓÇÖΓǪ 1/

When people complain that a film like “Get Out” has been categorized as a comedy for awards season, what they’re really saying is that comedies are not important. That’s a very short-sighted view.

Dear Golden Globes,
There are a lot of white people in your mentions agreeing w ur decision to mark Get Out as a comedy,
VERY few Black people doing so.
That’s Clue #1

Get Out actually was a comedy but maybe it was hard for some of y’all to laugh for a reason

Guys. Don’t be mad about this. All that matters is Get Out is being considered. In order to be nominated for a Globe, a film HAS to be classified as either Drama or Comedy. So, as silly as this seems, it’s good news. https://t.co/p8rOAn0qnY

Some of y├óΓé¼Γäóall are doing a lot with “Get Out” being placed in a comedy category. The studio and the people behind the film want awards and concluded that is their best shot. The end. God bless.

My 💥 take:
Get Out is a comedy. It’s a social satire that makes its points through clever observation and dryly amusing indictments of socially accepted stereotypes.
It’s also a horror film.

“Get Out”, is a movie about:
• Systematic Racism
• Interracial Relationships
• Black Horror Movie Stereotypes
• White Privilege
… all in one.
Definitely not a comedy.

White people are REALLY insistent today that calling GET OUT a comedy somehow trivializes it. It makes me realizes they didn’t understand it and they also look down on comedy as a genre.
