The African American Film Critics Association has announced its honorees for this year’s top films and movies, and Get Out is right at the top of the list.

Jordan Peele‘s Get Out not only won best film of 2017 but also best directing, screenplay and actor (Daniel Kaluuya).

ABC’s Black-ish and OWN’s Queen Sugar were named the top TV shows. Other recognized films were Gook, Coco, Detroit, Step and Mudbound with recognized actors including Frances McDormand, Laurence Fishburne, Tiffany Haddish and Lakeith Stanfield.

It’s especially nice to see Tiffany Haddish on the list, considering the Golden Globes snub that has Jada Pinkett Smith speaking out on her behalf.
