HOLLYWOOD — “Get Out” which was labeled a “horror” film as its debut — a movie critically acclaimed for its social commentary on race relations, was placed in the “comedy” category for the 2018 Golden Globes.
“Get Out is a documentary,” said Jordan Peele, director of the movie.
The 38-year-old comedian spoke to CBS “This Morning” on Wednesday where he spoke about the process of the movie made over $200 million in the box office. The movie was centered on a young black man (Daniel Kaluuya), who meets the family of his white girlfriend (played by Allison Williams) when horror takes place.
According to Entertainment Weekly, “Get Out” was likely placed in the comedy category to give it a better chance in competing since it defied genres.
