Including, of course, Peele and his wife, Chelsea Peretti
Peele beat out several strong contenders for the award, including Kumail Nanjiani and Emily V. Gordon (The Big Sick), Greta Gerwig (Lady Bird), Martin McDonagh (Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri), and Guillermo del Toro and Vanessa Taylor (The Shape of Water).
Get Out was nominated for three other awards in addition to Best Original Screenplay: Best Director (Peele), Best Lead Actor (Daniel Kaluuya), and Best Picture.
Was the movie that good? I am not familiar with the movie. If it was a great movie then why shouldn't he get the Oscar? If it wasn't then why did he get it?
