Get Out has been nominated for four Academy Awards: best picture; best actor (Daniel Kaluuya, now onscreen in Black Panther); best director (first-timer Jordan Peele); and best original screenplay (Peele). Jimmy Kimmel will host this year's awards show March 4 on ABC.

Peele and Universal Pictures are using the screenings to thank fans. Fans are thanking the filmmaker by using the hash tag #GetOutOneYearLater and sharing artwork, experiences and discussions that were prompted by the movie.

"When Jordan approached us about a way to thank fans one year after the release of Get Out, we thought a Presidents' Day screening during Black History Month would be a wonderful way to commemorate the film's impact," said Jim Orr, President, Distribution, Universal Pictures, in a release. "The success of his stunning vision would not have been possible without the audience's passion for both Get Out's groundbreaking storytelling and its deft use of art as society's mirror."
