↑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.
Hidden Figures was given a limited release in the United States by 20th Century Fox from December 25, 2016, followed by a wide release on January 6, 2017.[3] Releases in other territories followed through to March 2017.[4] Produced on a budget of $25million, the film grossed $235million worldwide.[4] The film received generally positive reviews from critics, who praised the performances (particularly Henson, Spencer and Monáe), tone, Mandy Walker's cinematography, and Renee Ehrlich Kalfus's costume design.[a] However, some argued that the film featured a white savior narrative,[b] and that its feel-good style trivialized the real story.[c] On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds an approval rating of 93% based on 323 reviews.[14]
