the movie was billed as a horror-comedy when it first came out, jordan peele (the director) said it was a satire, the studio and jordan are the ones who submitted in the category for best comedy/musical but people are trying to act fake woke over it and claim it isn't a comedy and that this is just hollywood perpetuating racism.
this isn't an insane situation like the martian being placed in this category last year (just for an easy win, really), but an apt category for the movie since it is a horror-comedy movie. and people are claiming that it's not comedy because they didn't laugh out loud or anything, which is why get out is a satire comedy not just a regular old gut busting comedy.
idk normally i'm with black twitter on things but the outrage and claiming that this was done because "laughing at us not with us" is stupid, because that's not even how it works for the golden globes.
edit: jordan's last name was spelled wrong
