Get Out Got Robbed

Get Out should have won Best Picture at the Oscars. This is clear. The movie was a cultural behemoth and it was the best movie to come out in 2017. But Mayo gonna Mayo so it got shut out except for Jordan Peele’s award for screenplay. So you know what happened next: WE went all the way in. Sure, the Fishf***ing movie was great, but c’mon.

Take a look at the most impassioned reactions to yet another black piece of art getting snubbed at an awards show.

I want Get Out to win everything. It’s not political. I thought it was simply the best movie made this year.

If you’re wondering why so many people are loudly rooting AGAINST it, well THAT is political.

IT WAS FINE. THE SHAPE OF WATER WAS JUST FINE.

GET OUT WAS TRANSCENDENT.

I'M GOING TO GO WATCH COCO AND GIRLS TRIP AND GO TO BED. #Oscars

SHAPE OF WATER winning Best Picture is short-sighted industry recognition of a director who deserved more before this year. The production scope, from music to costume to makeup, was bigger than every other Best Picture nom. It’s a filmmaking achievement.

But GET OUT was better.
