Get Out (2017)

Someone sane commenting on this on Twitter.



Universal felt they couldn't win in the Drama category so they submitted for Comedy.

If anything he should be mad at Universal for submitting it as a comedy, they're the ones who didn't believe they could win with it as a drama.

get out was definitely a comedy. that isn’t a criticism, it’s just its genre
fake woke Twitter is angry for no reason

Should have said fukk it submitted it as a drama if they lose they lose

It definitely can fit as a comedy fukking lil rel was one of the main stars

This isn't a horror/thriller with the same tone as Fatal Attraction or Silence of the Lambs. It has a tone similar to that of Scream, and Scream is a comedy fukk what ya heard. There should be zero outrage over "Get Out" being submitted under the comedy category.

Nothing to do with fake woke

I rarely post in this part of the Coli unless its about Thrones, BB or Sopranos

BUT

As a black man, I fully understand why people are outraged and I'm shocked people in here don't see the issue

Kinda defeats the entire purpose placing it in the comedy category

Imagine Child's Play getting nominated for "Best Drama" at the Golden Globes

"Bbbbbbbbut it's a thriller"

It wasn't a comedy but to white supremacists

I guess imma white supremacist because Lil Rel was funny as fukk in that movie.


I have no idea why this is a controversy. The movie was funny and they want it to win awards. It was not going to win the drama category.

Fortunately the Oscars do not do this. And I do think it will be nominated for an Oscar in Best Picture. (and it may win)

Seemed like a Drama or Thriller to me I laughed because of the irony throughout the film

 

[NobodyReally]

I see both sides. It is satire, so it's a shade of comedy and honestly the comedy section of GG's have always been reserved for movies that don't really fit into a perfect box. On the other hand, there's nothing really funny about the subject 'Get Out' is poking at, and I'd hate for anyone to devalue the gravity of the message because of the category, which white folks did to do with race in general.

After giving my twitter fingers a rest I decide to actually research on Hitchcock and his history with the golden globes. It turns out his movie(s) were submitted in a very similar category:
Nominations

• Family Plot (1976)
  • nominated for Best Motion Picture Actress - Musical/Comedy (Barbara Harris)

here is my thing tho

When did comedy = devaluing the seriousness?

Dave Chappelle and Chris Rock been doing comedy on societal ills and racism for years. Just because its funny don't mean it's devalued. If anything, thats on you for not taking comedy serious.

Lil Rel is literally the only comedic element of the movie. Whypeepull just have no shame.

Tyrese is comedic value in Fast in the furious, does that make fast and furious a comedic movie. We all know the answer
