Erik Anderson December 28, 2017

After earning six nominations from the Online Film Critics Society earlier this month, Get Out has emerged as the group’s Best Picture of 2017, also grabbing the Original Screenplay prize for Jordan Peele and a runner-up in Best Director (also Peele), Best Actor and Best Breakthrough (both Daniel Kaluuya).

Dunkirk won two of its four nominations, Best Director for Christopher Nolan and Best Editing for Lee Smith. Nomination leader The Shape of Water settled for a single win (Sally Hawkins for Best Actress) and a pair of runner-up placements (in Best Picture and Best Supporting Actor – Richard Jenkins).
