Jordan Peele won his first Academy Award on Sunday night (March 4). The comedian/director took home the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay for his work on the psychological thriller Get Out. His victory marked the first time in history an African-American person won in that particular category.
The film also served as Peele’s directorial debut and smashed box office records. It earned him the highest-grossing debut for a black director and the first such film to earn over $150 million.
Get Out is nominated in multiple categories, including Best Picture. Actor Daniel Kaluuya is nominated in the Best Actor category, while Peele is also up for Best Director.[apple_news_ad type=”any”]

I agree kobe won for that short bball video that was horrible I knew when they said he was up for a oscar for that I knew the fix was already in. get out was not good at all
Are you high?
Are you some expert or something
were all shocked that movie sucked bad
Yea! That screenplay was so well crafted. All the little details. Even if you didn’t like the movie all the stories there’s no denying the work and consistency put into this script. Well deserved. Salute. Also. Kobe got an Oscar. Dope.
Movie was average at best.
You are average at best
what has this got to do with hip hop?
Haters gon hate. It’s over. The name is on the award. Ya wack opinions won’t change shyt. Deal with it.
Political Hand-out. Movie was okay but the humor ruined the atmosphere and the dramatic of a lot of scenes, specially in the end scense. Movie was more like a Parody of a Horror/Drama that took it self a bit more serious.
you a fucking hater….. good movie…
I understand what ur saying bro! I DO! but I thing Snowflakes is right
I understand what ur saying RAGE! I DO! but I think Snowflakes is right
How am I hating if I explain with logical arguments my point? Just because it differs from your opinion doesnt makes it hating
Great movie. Why are people fighting over idols though?
Jordan came a long way from mad tv. Great movie. Salute.
Movie was …. decent an I banned from hip hop now ?
Just like black panther. It’s a shame that black movies are not held to the same standards as normal movies. One rule for one group, another for the people previously oppressed *SMH*
Agreed. Go back a decade and an a black movie wasn’t looked at as a big deal that CNN had to cover. It was simply a movie. It should be about the movie, not the color of the people in it. I didn’t see black panther, as I’m not into marvel/superhero movies, although I hear it was a great movie.
Was thinking the same people didnt care about stuff like that a couple years. Wesley Snipes is probably the darkest Dude in Hollywood and nobody cared that he played Blade. Nobody saw it as a Black Super Hero. Its was just a dope ass Hero. Miss those times. People need to stop being so sensitive
Oscars is pander city guys. Its popularity contest. There is no objectivity to creative awards. THAT said, bravo Jordan Peele. Movie was better than expected and with an added layer of cultural commentary, what other comedy/horror/satire movie was better?
Not really Original when its just a copy of “Skeleton Key”
Imagine being so full of yourself that you go “I only won ONE Oscar?!”. This is exactly WHY people don’t watch that garbage anymore. Just a bunch of rich celebrities patting each other on the back.
Somewhere in Brooklyn, Spike is pissed.
