I've heard that the reason you have movies like Get Out nominated as comedy/musical is because the studios think they have a better chance of winning in that category. That's why you see movies like The Martian (which should've really been in the drama category) going up against more traditional comedies like Trainwreck.
Similarly, in 2014 Orange Is The New Black was nominated in the drama category. However since then, it's been in the comedy or musical category because there is less competition.
Of course this does suck for actual comedies because they then have less of a chance to win. It just backs up what Keith's been saying for years about how comedies aren't respected in these award shows.
