We’re still trying to wrap our heads around this one.

Released in February, the Jordan Peele-directed horror was a surprise, break-out hit going on to pull in $253 million at the box office from a budget of $4.5 million. It retains a score of 99% on Rotten Tomatoes.

And while it may be classed as a horror by most, Get Out doesn’t have the typical characteristics of a horror like graphic violence or a serial killer on the loose. And it definitely has streaks of underlying dark comedy. So, maybe it kind of makes sense. Kind of.

The movies lead Daniel Kaluuya won praise for his portrayal of a young, black man meeting his white girlfriends family for the first time and is expected to feature during awards season.

Get Out could potentially face off against the likes of The Big Sick, I, Tonya, The Disaster Artist, Lady Bird, and The Greatest Showman.

It’s not the first questionable inclusion in the comedy/musical category at the Golden Globes. Who won the award last year? The Martian. Make of that what you will.

Nominations for the Golden Globes are announced on December 11th. Read our review of Get Out here.
