Madigan's performance received widespread recognition during the awards season. She won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress at the 98th Academy Awards, along with major industry honors and several critics' prizes, including from the New York Film Critics Circle, Boston Society of Film Critics, and London Film Critics' Circle.
