'Make the Case: Jordan Peele’s Get Out’ Screenplay Is Stunningly Original'
“I would honestly be thrilled to lose to Jordan Peele over & over for my entire career," Kumail Nanjiani tweeted after his script for The Big Sick lost the Writers Guild of America prize for Best Original Screenplay to Get Out. Peele’s victory at the WGAs has positioned him as the front-runner to win the Academy Award in the same category, a result which would fulfill fellow nominee Nanjiani’s prophecy and, more importantly, stand as one of the most richly deserved victories in recent Oscar history.
Adam Nayman makes a very strong case as to why Get Out deserves the Best Original Screenplay Oscar this year.
Get Out is definitely a movie I am strongly pulling for this year. I don’t think a day has gone by since I’ve seen it that I haven’t thought of it. Incredible work by Jordan Peele.
