  1. ^ Certain award groups do not simply award one winner. They recognize several different recipients, have runners-up, and have third place. Since this is a specific recognition and is different from losing an award, runner-up mentions are considered wins in this award tally. For simplification and to avoid errors, each award in this list has been presumed to have had a prior nomination.

True Grit is a 2010 Western film directed, written and edited by the Coen brothers. It is based on Charles Portis' 1968 novel of the same name, which had previously received an adaptation in 1969 featuring John Wayne. The film stars Jeff Bridges, Josh Brolin, Matt Damon and Hailee Steinfeld. It follows a 14-year old farm girl who seeks retribution against an outlaw (Brolin) for the murder of her father; to this end, she hires a marshal (Bridges), and the duo are joined on their adventure by a Texas Ranger (Damon).

True Grit was released theatrically by Paramount Pictures in the United States and Canada on December 22, 2010.[1] It subsequently opened the 61st Berlin International Film Festival on February 10, 2011 and was released in the United Kingdom on February 11.[2] Releases in additional territories followed throughout February and March.[3] Produced on a budget of $38 million, the film grossed $252 million worldwide during its original theatrical run.[3] True Grit received positive reviews from critics[a] and is considered one of the best movies of 2010, having appeared on several critic lists of the year's top ten films.[9] On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds an approval rating of 95% based on 279 reviews.[10]

True Grit garnered awards and nominations in various categories, with particular recognition for its direction, writing, production design, cinematography, as well as Bridges' and Steinfeld's performances. The film received 10 nominations at the 83rd Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Academy Award for Best Director (Coen brothers), Best Actor (Bridges) and Best Supporting Actress (Steinfeld) but failed to win any awards. It was the first movie to lose all 10 of its nominations since Gangs of New York in 2002.[11] Steinfeld was the 73rd actor to be nominated for an Academy Award for their debut performance[12] and one of the youngest actresses to ever be nominated in the category.[13] At the 64th British Academy Film Awards, it earned eight nominations and won Best Cinematography (Roger Deakins). It received a further 11 nominations at the 16th Critics' Choice Awards, where it won Best Young Actor/Actress (Steinfeld).
