Since then, its become a major awards contender, and is currently in contention for both Golden Globe and SAG awards at their respective ceremonies next month.
The movie was always about filling this void in the conversation, Peele, one of EWs Entertainers of the Year for 2017,said ofGet Outin a recent interview.
I felt like the way we talk about race was and still is broken, but if this movie could help generate constructive discussion that involved new ideas, that would be the coolest thing.
