'Get Out' Named Best Picture By African American Film Critics Association

Get Out has been named the best film of 2017 by the African American Film Critics Association (AAFCA). It also won awards for Best Screenplay, Best Directing, and Best Actor for Daniel Kaluuya.

"The success of Girls Trip, the first R-rated film starring an all-Black female cast to surpass $100 million, and Get Out, Jordan Peele's directorial debut which surpassed $250 million worldwide, prove just how viable Black films are across the board," AAFCA co-founder and president, Gil Robertson in a press release. "Also, Gook, with its Asian-centered storyline, and Coco, the animated film spotlighting Dia de los Muertos, the revered Mexican tradition, provided our membership with an opportunity to recognize storylines that are relevant to communities that have not previously been included on our list. Overall, it was a great year for cinema that reflects the diverse and complicated world that we live in."

Other winners included Best Actress to Frances McDormand for her role as a heartbroken mother in Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri. Tiffany Haddish won Best Supporting Actress for her breakout role in Girls Trip, and Laurence Fishburn Best Supporting Actor for Last Flag Flying.
