“Get Out” on iTunes and Amazon, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Sources “insist” it’s not an awards ploy, but the guest list suggests otherwise.
The most recent Best Pic- ture winner released before May was “The Silence of the Lambs,” which opened in January 1991. Conveniently, that’s also the last horror movie to garner the prize, which could leave Peele fol- lowing in the prestigious footsteps of “Lambs” director Jonathan Demme, who died Wednesday.
