So great to have Black excellence recognised. And also thrilled that a horror is recognised for its amazing script!
-
The writing was just so good. This was a tough category this year and I’m so glad Get Out won. And yes — not sure if there’s been another horror screenplay winner since Silence of the Lambs 20+ years ago
-
Yes! Just looked this up and I think you're right. Other horror winners are Rosemary's Baby, and The Exorcist (both screenplay); Silence for Best Film. Others for sound/visual awards. I'm not paying most of the movies on this list as horrors.

Also i believe the other three named ones were book adaptations, so Get Out might be the first original writing one...?
-
Yes, it seems you're right. And he's the first Black writer to win in that category. Ever.
-
Groundbreaking on several levels — already very much looking forward to his next project

I will need to celebrate by rewatching tonight!pic.twitter.com/VGrZjIOaQ1
