"Get Out" won best original screenplay?

I guess I didn't catch the allegory? I mean, I saw that they made every single white person in that movie evil and racist against blacks, but was there a deeper underlying meaning I didn't catch.
I will agree about the actor. He did a great job.

Yeah, I've been a fan of Daniel Kaluuya since he was on Psychoville, and playing the protagonist of 15 Million Merits on Black Mirror. Sadly, he hadn't done a lot since 15MM, except for playing Emily Blunt's partner in Sicario, bizarrely underutilized if only because A) He's the cop protagonist's partner, and B) he's the only consistently decent person in the cast in a story about how Emily Blunt's going from a decent cop to a morally bankrupt one like Josh Brolin. Fortunately, the one-two punch of Get Out and Black Panther has rectified that.

About the allegory, maybe ask some of your black friends (or maybe acquaintances if you don't have any full-on black friends) or just look on the Internet. The Internet might be more in-depth.

I googled it and this article came up:

It says the allegory is that white people in America use blacks. I'm not going to explain further because I don't want to spoil lol, but if you've seen the movie I'm sure you know how that fits in.

Yeah, that's the basic gist of the allegory; then again, people in general tend to use each other on some level. Maybe the increased melanin content (accompanied by centuries of oppression that was officially enshrined in law well within living memory) makes it harder for the less-melanated to cultivate an I-Thou relationship with them, which seems to be hard for many modern people (especially Americans) even in the best of times.
