The Awards Keep Rolling In
The Academy Awards are undoubtedly the pinnacle when it comes to official critical recognition of great work in cinema, but there are plenty of other prestigious awards bodies all over the world, and many of them also wanted to honor the cast and crew of Chicago for their amazing production too. At the British Academy Film Awards, for example, Catherine-Zeta Jones won the Best Actress in a Supporting Role prize, and the film was nominated for 11 different categories.

The film’s soundtrack won a Grammy Award, and the film was nominated for many other prizes from Screen Actors Guild Awards to Teen Choice Awards.
