=== Penghargaan dan nominasi ===


=== Best Picture nomination ===
Before the film's release, *Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close* was expected to be a major contender at the [[84th Academy Awards]] ([[Stephen Daldry]]'s previous two films had garnered [[Academy Award for Best Picture|Best Picture]] nominations). However, due to the film's polarizing reception and being ignored by most of the Critics Groups Awards, the [[Golden Globe Award]]s, the [[British Academy Film Awards]], and the [[Screen Actors Guild Award]]s, it was no longer deemed as a major contender. Nevertheless, the film was nominated for [[Academy Award for Best Picture|Best Picture]] and [[Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor|Best Supporting Actor]]. Critics and audiences criticized the film's nomination for Best Picture, with some calling the film one of the worst Best Picture nominees ever. It is the only widely reviewed film on aggregator [[Rotten Tomatoes]] with a "rotten" rating to receive a Best Picture nomination. Chris Krapek of *The Huffington Post* wrote very negatively about the film's nomination, calling the film "not only the worst reviewed Best Picture nominee of the last 10 years, [but] easily the worst film of 2011". *Paste* Magazine's Adam Vitcavage called the film's consensus for a Best Picture nominee "certainly the worst for at least 28 years", and David Gritten of [[The Telegraph (UK)|*The Telegraph*]] calls the nomination "mysterious".

Many critics have blamed the new Best Picture rules for the nomination. John Young at *Entertainment Weekly* says that when it comes to the new rules, "it's better to be loved by a small and passionate group instead of liked by a much larger group", and Jen Chaney at *The Washington Post*, believes that, "the Academy should've just stuck to the 10 rule so that films like [[The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (2011 film)|*Dragon Tattoo*]] or [[Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2|*Harry Potter*]] could've joined the other worthy contenders, because if you’re going to create a bunch of drama around the number of nominees and then come up one shy of what has become the typical total, that just feels like a letdown." *The Week* writes that the new rules are a failure, as it lets "smaller, divisive movies that the Academy had hoped to weed out, like *Tree of Life* and *Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close* in, but prevents praised crowd pleasers like *Bridesmaids* and [[The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (2011 film)|*The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo*]] from being nominated."

Not all critics were negative about the nomination. Tom O'Neil, a former *L.A. Times* critic, analyzed the film's few nominations in other awards and its polarizing reaction from critics stating: "This is a movie that we unwisely wrote off, but we did it because we believed the critics. This movie delivers. It is a *superb* motion picture. It is moving, it is relevant to our time, it is *extremely* well made."

At the [[84th Academy Awards]], *Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close* lost in both of its categories (Best Picture to [[The Artist (film)|*The Artist*]] and Best Supporting Actor to [[Christopher Plummer]] for *Beginners'').
