Today, the Washington D.C. Area Film Critics announced their picks for the best of 2017! After picking up awards from many of the other precursors, Get Out has finally been named best picture of the year. While it’s always debatable how much weight these various groups carry with the Academy, Get Out can use all the help it can get to become one of the few horror films to ever receive a best picture nomination.
