(AllHipHop News) It’s official. Jordan Peele’s 2017 thriller Get Out is up for Best Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy at the 2018 Golden Globe Awards.

Get Out’s submission as a comedy caused controversy online last month. Jordan originally responded to the studios’ decision by tweeting, “’Get Out’ is a documentary.”

The director further addressed the Golden Globes nominating process in an interview with IndieWire. He made it clear that the Best Drama section was more appropriate for the film.

“What the movie is about is not funny,” stated Peele. “I’ve had many black people come up to me and say, ‘man, this is the movie we’ve been talking about for a while and you did it.’ That’s a very powerful thing. For that to be put in a smaller box than it deserves is where the controversy comes from.”

Get Out will compete against The Disaster Artist, The Greatest Showman, Lady Bird, and I, Tonya for Best Musical or Comedy. The Best Drama category features Call Me By Your Name, Dunkirk, The Post, The Shape of Water, and Three Billboards.

Other notable nominees include Issa Rae (Insecure) for Best Actress in a TV Series – Musical or Comedy, Black-ish for Best TV Series – Musical or Comedy, Master of None for Best TV Series – Musical or Comedy, Anthony Anderson (Black-ish) for Best Actor in a TV Series Musical or Comedy, Aziz Ansari (Master of None) for Best Actor in a TV Series Musical or Comedy, and Mary J. Blige (Mudbound) for Best Supporting Actress in a Motion Picture.

The 75th annual Golden Globe Awards are scheduled to take place on January 7, 2018 at The Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, California. To see the full list of nominees visit goldenglobes.com.

(AllHipHop News) Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta is currently shooting another season, but a violent moment at a local store caused a stop in production this week. A TMZ article alleges a security guard with the show was struck by an angry driver in a parking lot before filming of the scene began.

The website reports:

We’re told security was saving a parking spot for the production, which p##### off the customer. Witnesses tell us he revved the engine and struck the security guard … injuring his left leg. According to cops, the driver went inside a nearby golf store before fleeing. Cops spoke to staffers at the golf store to ID the driver, and got surveillance footage of the incident from another store. No arrests yet.

Mimi Faust was apparently at the scene when the incident took place. She nor anyone from the cast has been named as possible victims or perpetrators in the assumed hit-and-run situation.

(AllHipHop News) Details about the return of Donald Glover’s Atlanta have been scarce. Glover made it clear that season 2 of the show was delayed because of his turn as Lando Calrissian in Solo: A Star Wars Story.

Then in September, reports began to circulate that filming for new episodes began in the Georgia capital. Stars of the show have also begun uploading pictures of the cast to social media.

An Instagram post by Keith Stanfield (Darius) really excited and confused fans of the comedy. Throughout the day, he edited the photo’s caption multiple times with different possible premiere dates for Atlanta.

Stanfield changed the message from April 2018 to December 2018 to January 2019 to March 2019 to March 2020. As of press time, the date reads January 2019.

The FX network has not officially announced a debut date for the Emmy-winning series. Glover spoke about why has taken so long to follow up 2016’s season 1.

“I’m not the type of person to rush anything. I feel like if you rush it, you’ll start to get something you don’t want and then you start to question why you even liked it,” said Glover in August. “So, I’m not gonna make anything until it’s ready. But to be completely honest, it’s almost ready. I’m pretty happy with a lot of the things, and I think it’s better than the first season.”

(AllHipHop News) A Rolls-Royce advertising campaign featuring Skepta has been pulled, following a backlash in the United Kingdom.

The commercial features the rapper winding through the Swiss Alps in a pricey Phantom.

The problem is, Skepta is highlighted throughout the commercial without his seatbelt on.

According to the Mirror, safety experts in the U.K. were outraged at the video, because it is in clear violation of the country’s safety laws.

Even though Skepta is sitting in the back seat, the country’s Highway Code states that all passengers must be buckled up.

“Perhaps Skepta, the great grime artist, should listen to his own song ‘It Ain’t Safe’ before rapping in the back of a Rolls-Royce, apparently not wearing a seatbelt,” snapped Edmund King, president of the Automobile Association in the U.K.

Skepta has yet to comment on the issue, although he did post an image to his Twitter page that seems to reference the controversy.
