This is the list of awards and nominations received by the Coen brothers (Joel Coen and Ethan Coen).
Joel Coen and Ethan Coen have received numerous accolades including four Academy Awards, two BAFTA Awards, a Golden Globe Award, a Directors Guild of America Award, three Critics' Choice Awards, and four Independent Spirit Awards as well as nominations for two Primetime Emmy Awards.
Together they have each been nominated for a total of fourteen Academy Awards (twice under their alias “Roderick Jaynes”) and have won four, including two for screenwriting (Best Original Screenplay for Fargo and Best Adapted Screenplay for No Country for Old Men), one for Best Director (No Country for Old Men), and one for Best Picture (No Country for Old Men). Twelve of their nominations were joint, but each received an individual nomination for Fargo (Joel for Best Director and Ethan for Best Picture) – thus the brothers have fifteen combined nominations.

Brooks for Terms of Endearment (1983), James Cameron for Titanic (1997), Francis Ford Coppola for The Godfather Part II (1974), Alejandro G.
