# List of accolades received by Hidden Figures

Hidden Figures is a 2016 American biographical drama film directed by Theodore Melfi, who co-wrote the screenplay with Allison Schroeder, and based on the non-fiction book of the same name by Margot Lee Shetterly. The film stars Taraji P. Henson as Katherine Johnson, Octavia Spencer as Dorothy Vaughan, and Janelle Monáe as Mary Jackson, three female African-American mathematicians working at NASA during the Space Race. It also stars Kevin Costner, Kirsten Dunst, Jim Parsons, Mahershala Ali, Aldis Hodge, and Glen Powell.
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. Releases in other territories followed through to March 2017. Produced on a budget of $25 million, the film grossed $235 million worldwide. 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. However, some argued that the film featured a white savior narrative, and that its feel-good style trivialized the real story. On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds an approval rating of 93% based on 323 reviews.
Hidden Figures garnered awards and nominations in a variety of categories, with particular recognition for its production values, screenplay, cast, and score. At the 89th Academy Awards, it received nominations for Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Picture and Best Supporting Actress (Spencer). It also received three nominations – Best Acting Ensemble, Best Adapted Screenplay, and Best Supporting Actress (Monáe) – at the 22nd Critics' Choice Awards, two nominations – Best Original Score and Best Supporting Actress in a Motion Picture (Spencer) – at the 74th Golden Globe Awards, and a nomination for Best Adapted Screenplay at the 70th British Academy Film Awards. The film's score and soundtrack were also recognized with nominations for Best Score Soundtrack for Visual Media and Best Compilation Soundtrack for Visual Media at the 60th Annual Grammy Awards. Hidden Figures was named one of the Top 10 Films of 2016 by the National Board of Review, while the cast won the award for Best Cast.
