It’s not out of the question for Peele to get Best Original Screenplay and/or Best Director nominations, and Daniel Kaluuya’s name has been brought up for potential Best Actor contention.Īdditionally, Get Out realistically *could* become the rare horror film to get a Best Picture nomination. Peele’s socially relevant horror film was the perfect movie at the perfect time, tapping into the cultural zeitgeist and using the horror genre, as many of the best horror films have done over the years, to start important conversations about what’s really going on in the real world we all inhabit. The most likely horror film to be up for at least one Academy Award next year is Jordan Peele’s Get Out, which already swept the Gotham Awards, was nominated for a handful of Independent Spirit Awards, and is currently in the running for Golden Globes recognition (as, oddly enough, a comedy). Here are five horror movies released in 2017 that *could* be nominated in 2018… We’ve seen some damn good horror films over the course of the past eleven months, and the smash hit success of many of them has ensured that the future of the genre is looking bright.īut will next year’s Academy Awards recognize horror’s stellar 2017? It’s no secret that the Academy very rarely gives much love to horror cinema – to date, The Silence of the Lambs remains the only film to grab the Best Picture statue – so it’s sadly not hard to imagine another ceremony that’s unfairly bereft of horror.īut maybe, just maybe, 2018 is the year the Academy can no longer ignore the genre.
Both critically and financially, 2017 has been one of the very best years in the entire history of the horror genre.
