# List of accolades received by Green Book

Green Book is a 2018 American biographical comedy-drama film directed by Peter Farrelly. The film is set in 1962 and follows Italian–American bouncer Frank "Tony Lip" Vallelonga (Viggo Mortensen), who is hired as a chauffeur by African American pianist Don Shirley for a tour of concert venues in the Deep South. Written by Farrelly alongside Lip's son Nick Vallelonga and Brian Hayes Currie, the film is based on interviews with Lip and Shirley, as well as letters Lip wrote to his wife. It is named after The Negro Motorist Green Book, a guide book for African American travelers created by Victor Hugo Green in 1936 and published until 1967.
Green Book premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival on September 11, 2018, where it won the Grolsch People's Choice Award. 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. Releases in other territories followed through to March 2019. Produced on a budget of $23 million, the film grossed $321 million worldwide. Green Book received generally positive reviews from critics, who especially praised Ali and Mortensen's performances and chemistry. However, some also criticized the film's portrayal of race, variously calling it clichèd, naive and tone deaf, a "racial reconciliation fantasy", and as perpetuating a white savior narrative. Shirley's brother also argued that the film misrepresented the pianist and his relationship with both his family and Lip. Both Farrelly and Mortensen pushed back against these criticisms. On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds an approval rating of 77% based on 362 reviews.
Green Book garnered awards and nominations from a variety of categories, with particular recognition for its direction, screenplay and performances. At the 91st Academy Awards, the film received five nominations, winning Best Picture, Best Original Screenplay, and Best Supporting Actor (Ali). The film was also nominated in five categories at the 76th Golden Globe Awards, where it won Best Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy, Best Supporting Actor – Motion Picture (Ali), and Golden Globe Award for Best Screenplay – at the 76th Golden Globe Awards, where it had been nominated in five categories. Ali was further recognized with the Critics' Choice Movie Award for Best Supporting Actor at the 24th Critics' Choice Awards (where the film earned seven nominations) and the BAFTA Award for Best Actor in a Supporting Role at the 72nd British Academy Film Awards (where the film garnered nominations in four categories). In addition, Green Book was chosen as Best Film at the 90th National Board of Review Awards, and was named one of the Top 10 Films of 2018 by the American Film Institute.
