↑Certain award groups do not simply award one winner. They acknowledge 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.
Green Book premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival on September 11, 2018, where it won the Grolsch People's Choice Award.[4] The film was given a limited release in 20 cities in the United States on November 16, 2018, before being expanded nationwide on November 21, 2018.[5] Releases in other territories followed through to March 2019.[6] Produced on a budget of $23million, the film grossed $321million worldwide.[6]Green Book received generally positive reviews from critics, who especially praised Ali and Mortensen's performances and chemistry.[a] However, some also criticized the film's portrayal of race, variously calling it clichèd, naive and tone deaf,[12][14] a "racial reconciliation fantasy",[15] and as perpetuating a white savior narrative.[12][16] Shirley's brother also argued that the film misrepresented the pianist and his relationship with both his family and Lip.[17][18] Both Farrelly and Mortensen pushed back against these criticisms.[19][20] On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds an approval rating of 77% based on 362 reviews.[21]
↑The win proved controversial due to the criticisms the film received. At the ceremony, director Spike Lee—whose film BlacKkKlansman was also nominated for Best Picture—was visibly upset when Green Book's name was called and later said “I thought I was courtside at the Garden and the ref made a bad call.”[22][23]
