Jordan Peele's horror film Get Out was nominated for four Academy Awards today: Best Picture, Best Original Screenplay, Best Director, and Best Actor for Daniel Kaluuya. Coincidentally, Screen Junkies had the Honest Trailer ready to go. Maybe they knew something, like how the movie deserves the nominations. They don't so much denigrate the film, but celebrate it for the strange story it is.
The opening of Get Out had my full attention, but then it kinda of just went downhill. Statement on race relations in the U.S.? OK. Horror movie? Standard B movie.
Excepting Daniel Kaluuya. Expecting even greater things from him. If you've got Netflix check out Black Mirror Season 1, Episode 2: 15,000,000 credits. Awesome performance and one of my favorite episodes.
