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.
