The film garnered more praise than "I'll Do Anything" and Brooks was again nominated for the Academy Awards for Best Picture and Best Original Screenplay. "As Good as It Gets" received a total of seven Academy Award nominations and won two, for Best Actor for Jack Nicholson and Best Actress for Helen Hunt. Jonathan Rosenbaum of the "Chicago Reader" labelled it Brooks' best film, stating "what Brooks manages to do with [the characters] as they struggle mightily to connect with one another is funny, painful, beautiful, and basically truthful—a triumph for everyone involved." It also ranked 140 in "Empire" 2008 list of "The 500 Greatest Movies of All Time". Brooks cast Jack Nicholson in both "Terms of Endearment" and "As Good as It Gets" with the actor taking an Academy Award for each role.
