In a surprise win, Jordan Peele today bagged the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay for Get Out at the 90th Academy Awards, trumping front-runners The Shape of Water and Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri. This is the first Oscar win for the actor-turned-director, who is also nominated in the Best Director category for the horror film about a young African-American, who visits his white girlfriend's parents for the weekend and realises there is something wrong going on there.
