Is Get Out a comedy? Is it a documentary? For writer-director Jordan Peele, no matter what category his hit film is competing in at the Golden Globes, he doesn’t believe it can be “put into a genre box.”
The classification of Get Out has become a hot topic amid news that the film has been submitted as a comedy for the upcoming Golden Globe Awards. A source close to the Globes told EW that Blumhouse, which produced the Universal-released film, made the decision to classify it as such.
Get Out star Lil Rel Howery, who gives the film’s most comedic performance as Rod, reacted Tuesday on Twitter by writing, “But if I can be honest this is weird to me… Their is nothing funny about racism… Was it that unrealistic lol.” Peele chimed in Wednesday morning, tweeting, “‘Get Out’ is a documentary.”
