Inglourious Basterds is a 2009 epic war film[8] written and directed by Quentin Tarantino. It stars an ensemble cast including Brad Pitt, Christoph Waltz, Michael Fassbender, Eli Roth, Diane Kruger, Daniel Brühl, Til Schweiger and Mélanie Laurent. The film tells an alternate history story of two converging plots to assassinate Nazi Germany‘s leadership at a Paris cinema—one through a British operation largely carried out by a team of Jewish American soldiers led by First Lieutenant Aldo Raine (Pitt), and another by French Jewish cinema proprietor Shosanna Dreyfus (Laurent) who seeks to avenge her murdered family. Both are faced against Hans Landa (Waltz), an SS colonel with a fearsome reputation for hunting Jews.

The title (but not the story) was inspired by Italian director Enzo G. Castellari‘s 1978 Euro War film The Inglorious Bastards, but deliberately misspelled as “a Basquiat-esque touch”.[9] Tarantino wrote the script in 1998, but struggled with the ending and chose instead to direct the two-part film Kill Bill. After co-directing Death Proof in 2007, Tarantino returned to work on Inglourious Basterds. A co-production between the United States and Germany, the film began principal photography in October 2008 and was filmed in Germany and France with a $70 million production budget.

Inglourious Basterds premiered on May 20, 2009, at the 62nd Cannes Film Festival, and received a wide release in theaters in Germany on August 20, and in the United States on August 21. The Weinstein Company distributed the film in the United States, while Universal Pictures handled international distribution. It was a commercial success, grossing $321.5 million worldwide, becoming Tarantino’s highest-grossing film to that point, until it was surpassed by Django Unchained (2012). The film received critical acclaim, with Waltz’s performance as Hans Landa being singled out for praise, but some criticized the historical liberties taken. It also won multiple awards and nominations, among them eight Academy Award nominations (including Best Picture, Best Director and Best Original Screenplay). For his role as Landa, Waltz won the Cannes Film Festival’s Best Actor Award, as well as the BAFTA, Screen Actors Guild, Critics’ Choice, Golden Globe, and Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor.

Plot

[edit]

Christoph Waltz plays Standartenführer Hans Landa, an eloquent and cultured but deeply ruthless Austrian SS officer.

Brad Pitt plays Lieutenant Aldo Raine, nicknamed “Aldo the Apache” due to his trademark of scalping Germans he defeats.

Mélanie Laurent plays Shosanna Dreyfus, a French Jewish cinema owner whose family was executed by Landa and who is determined to exact revenge.

Daniel Bruhl plays Fredrick Zoller, a German army sniper and national hero whose story is made into a propaganda film.

Michael Fassbender plays Lieutenant Archie Hicox, a British commando and former film critic who poses as a German officer with disastrous results.

Eli Roth plays Sergeant Donny Donowitz, “The Bear Jew”, second in command of the Basterds who executes Germans with his baseball bat.

Diane Kruger plays Bridget Von Hammersmark, a German film star turned spy for the United Kingdom.

Denis Ménochet plays Perrier LaPadite, who hides the Jewish Dreyfus family for a year, then is forced by Landa to give them up.

In 1941, Austrian SS-Standartenführer Hans Landa interrogates French dairy farmer Perrier LaPadite about a fugitive Jewish family, the Dreyfuses. Eventually realizing that a lie will not save him and his family, LaPadite tearfully admits that the Dreyfuses are hiding under his floor. Landa’s men massacre the family but one of them, young Shosanna, escapes unharmed.

Three years later, U.S. Army lieutenant Aldo Raine recruits Jewish-American soldiers to the “Basterds,” a black ops commando unit tasked with instilling fear among Nazis in occupied France by killing and scalping them. The group includes Sergeant Donny “The Bear Jew” Donowitz, privates first class Smithson Utivich and Omar Ulmer, rogue German sergeant Hugo Stiglitz, and Austrian-born translator Corporal Wilhelm Wicki. Raine leaves a swastika mark on all surviving German soldiers as a way to make their Nazi affiliations clear even after the war.

In Paris, Shosanna operates a cinema under the name Emmanuelle Mimieux, and meets Fredrick Zoller, a famed German sniper set to star in the German propaganda film Stolz der Nation (Nation’s Pride). Infatuated with “Emmanuelle,” Zoller convinces Joseph Goebbels to hold the film’s premiere at her cinema. Landa, as the premiere’s head of security, interrogates Shosanna but does not reveal if he recognizes her. She plots with her Afro-French lover and projectionist, Marcel, to kill the German leaders by burning down the cinema with her collection of highly flammable nitrate films.

British Commando Lieutenant Archie Hicox, a former film critic and fluent German speaker, is recruited for Operation Kino, an attack on the premiere with the Basterds. Disguised as German officers, Hicox, Stiglitz, and Wicki meet with German film star Bridget von Hammersmark, an undercover Allied agent, in an occupied town at a tavern unexpectedly full of German soldiers. Hicox’s unusual accent arouses suspicion from Wehrmacht sergeant Wilhelm and Major Dieter Hellström. Major Dieter Hellström joins Hicox’s group and invites them to a strong drink; eventually Hicox blows the group’s cover with a non-German hand gesture. A gunfight ensues, killing everyone except Wilhelm and a wounded von Hammersmark. While Wilhelm holds von Hammersmark at gunpoint, Raine arrives and negotiates for her release, giving her a chance to shoot Wilhelm with a dead soldier’s gun. Believing she set his men up, Raine tortures von Hammersmark, but she convinces him of her loyalty and reveals that Hitler will be attending the premiere. She proposes that Raine, Donowitz and Ulmer attend the premiere posing as Italian filmmakers, remarking that Germans do not recognize Italian accents. Landa investigates the tavern and finds von Hammersmark’s shoe and a napkin with her signature.

The Basterds infiltrate the premiere with timed explosives. Landa, who is fluent in Italian, readily sees through their cover and confronts von Hammersmark with her missing shoe before strangling her to death. He has Raine arrested along with Utivich, whom he has also detected, but leaves Ulmer and Donowitz in the theater. Recognizing the opportunity of his situation, Landa offers to let the attack proceed if Raine’s OSS commanders will guarantee his safety after the war. Raine contacts his commanders and Landa negotiates a generous deal for himself and his radio operator.

During the screening, Zoller slips away to the projection booth and berates Shosanna for rejecting his advances, leading them to shoot each other dead. As Nation’s Pride reaches its climax, Shosanna’s face appears on the screen telling the Nazi audience that they are about to be killed by a Jew. Having locked the auditorium, Marcel ignites a pile of nitrate film behind the screen with his cigarette, setting the theater ablaze. Ulmer and Donowitz break into the opera box, gunning down Hitler and Goebbels, before firing into the crowd until their explosives kill Ulmer, Donowitz, and all the Nazis inside the cinema.

Landa and his radio operator drive Raine and Utivich into Allied territory, where they surrender to Raine. Raine shoots the radio operator and triumphantly carves a swastika into Landa’s forehead, declaring it to be his masterpiece.

Cast

[edit]

Director Enzo G. Castellari also makes a cameo appearance in the film at the movie premiere. He previously cameoed as a German in his own The Inglorious Bastards and reprised the same role in this film, but under a different rank and SS organization.[21][22] Bo Svenson, who starred in Castellari’s The Inglorious Bastards, also has a small cameo in the film as a US colonel in the Nation’s Pride movie.[23]

Additionally, Samuel L. Jackson narrates the film,[24] Harvey Keitel voices the Office of Strategic Services Commander,[24] Bela B appears as an usher[25] and Tarantino appears as an American soldier in Nation’s Pride and a scalped German.[26] Two characters, Mrs. Himmelstein and Madame Ada Mimieux, played by Cloris Leachman and Maggie Cheung, respectively, were both cut from the final film due to length.[27][28][29]

Production

[edit]

Development

[edit]

Quentin Tarantino spent just over a decade creating the film’s script because, as he told Charlie Rose in an interview, he became “too precious about the page”, meaning the story kept growing and expanding.[30][31] Tarantino viewed the script as his masterpiece in the making, so felt it had to become the best thing he had ever written.[32] He described an early premise of the film as his “bunch-of-guys-on-a-mission” film,[33] “my Dirty Dozen or Where Eagles Dare or Guns of Navarone kind of thing”.[34]

I’m going to find a place that actually resembles, in one way or another, the Spanish locales they had in spaghetti westerns – a no man’s land. With US soldiers and French peasants and the French resistance and German occupation troops, it was kind of a no man’s land. That will really be my spaghetti Western but with World War II iconography. But the thing is, I won’t be period specific about the movie. I’m not just gonna play a lot of Édith Piaf and Andrews Sisters. I can have rap, and I can do whatever I want. It’s about filling in the viscera.[35]

—Quentin Tarantino

By 2002, Tarantino found Inglourious Basterds to be a bigger film than planned and saw that other directors were working on World War II films.[36] Tarantino had produced three nearly finished scripts, proclaiming that it was “some of the best writing I’ve ever done. But I couldn’t come up with an ending.”[37] He moved on to direct the two-part film Kill Bill (2003–2004).[36] After the completion of Kill Bill, Tarantino went back to his first storyline draft and considered making it a mini-series, but Luc Besson convinced him to finish it as a film. Instead he trimmed the script, using his script for Pulp Fiction (1994) as a guide to length.[38][39] The revised premise focused on a group of soldiers who escape from their executions and embark on a mission to help the Allies. He described the men as “not your normal hero types that are thrown into a big deal in the Second World War”.[40]

Tarantino planned to begin production in 2005.[41] In November 2004, he delayed production and instead took an acting role in Takashi Miike‘s Western film Sukiyaki Western Django (2007), and intended to make a kung fu film entirely in Mandarin;[42] this project floundered. He directed Death Proof (2007), part of the double feature Grindhouse, before returning to work on Inglourious Basterds.[41]

The film’s title was inspired by the English-language title of director Enzo G. Castellari‘s 1978 war film, The Inglorious Bastards.[43][44][45]

Tarantino has said that the film’s opening scene, in which Landa interrogates the French dairy farmer, is his “favorite thing” he’s “ever written”.[46]

Casting

[edit]

Eli Roth, Mélanie Laurent, and producer Lawrence Bender at a premiere for the film in August 2009

Tarantino originally sought Leonardo DiCaprio to be cast as Hans Landa,[47] before deciding to have the character played by a native German-speaking actor.[48] The role ultimately went to Austrian Christoph Waltz who, according to Tarantino, “gave me my movie” as he feared the part was “unplayable”.[49] Brad Pitt and Tarantino had wanted to work together for a number of years, but they were waiting for the right project.[50] When Tarantino was halfway through the film’s script, he sensed that Pitt was a strong possibility for the role of Aldo Raine. By the time he had finished writing, Tarantino thought Pitt “would be terrific” and called Pitt’s agent to ask if he was available.[50]

Tarantino asked Adam Sandler to play the role of Donny Donowitz, but Sandler declined due to schedule conflicts with the film Funny People (2009).[51] Eli Roth was cast in the role instead. Roth also directed the film-within-the-film, Nation’s Pride,[52] which used 300 extras.[53] The director also wanted to cast Simon Pegg in the film as Lt. Archie Hicox, but he was forced to drop out due to scheduling difficulties with The Adventures of Tintin (2011).[54] Irish-German actor Michael Fassbender began final negotiations to join the cast as Hicox in August 2008,[54] although he originally auditioned for the role of Landa.[55] B. J. Novak was also cast in August 2008 as Private First Class Smithson Utivich, “a New York-born soldier of ‘slight build'”.[56]

Tarantino talked to actress Nastassja Kinski about playing the role of Bridget von Hammersmark and even flew to Germany to meet her, but a deal could not be reached[57] and Tarantino cast Diane Kruger instead.[51][58] Rod Taylor was effectively retired from acting and no longer had an agent, but came out of retirement when Tarantino offered him the role of Winston Churchill in the film.[59] This would be Taylor’s last appearance on film before his death on January 7, 2015.[60] In preparation for the role, Taylor watched dozens of DVDs with footage of Churchill in order to get the Prime Minister’s posture, body language, and voice, including a lisp, correct.[59] Taylor initially recommended British actor Albert Finney for the role during their conversation, but agreed to take the part because of Tarantino’s “passion”.[59] Mike Myers, a fan of Tarantino, had inquired about being in the film since Myers’ parents had been in the British Armed Forces.[61] In terms of the character’s dialect, Myers felt that it was a version of Received Pronunciation meeting the officer class, but mostly an attitude of “I’m fed up with this war and if this dude can end it, great because my country is in ruins.”[62]

Tarantino met Mélanie Laurent in three rounds, reading all the characters on the first round. On the second meeting, he shared the lines with her; the third was a face-to-face dinner. During the dinner, he told Laurent, “Do you know something—there’s just something I don’t like. It’s that you’re famous in your country, and I’m really wanting to discover somebody.” Laurent replied “No, no, no. … I’m not so famous.” After four days, he called to finalize her for the role of Shosanna.[63] Samm Levine was cast as PFC Hirschberg, because, according to Levine, Tarantino was a big fan of Freaks and Geeks, which starred Levine.[64] Filmmaker Tom Tykwer, who translated parts of the film’s dialogue into German, recommended Daniel Brühl to Tarantino, who recalled that upon seeing the actor’s performance in Good Bye, Lenin! (2003), he declared, “That’s my [Fredrick Zoller] right there. If Daniel’s mother had never met Daniel’s father, I don’t know if we’d ever have the right Zoller”.[65]

Isabelle Huppert was originally cast in the role of Madame Mimieux[66] before being fired due to creative differences.[67] It was also reported that Catherine Deneuve was considered for the role.[66] According to French musician and actor Johnny Hallyday, Tarantino had originally written a role for him in the film.[68][66]

Filming

[edit]

Tarantino teamed with the Weinstein Company to prepare what he planned to be his film for production.[69] In July 2008, Tarantino and executive producers Harvey and Bob Weinstein set up an accelerated production schedule to be completed for release at the Cannes Film Festival in 2009, where the film would compete for the Palme d’Or.[70][71]

The Weinstein Company co-financed the film and distributed it in the United States, and signed a deal with Universal Pictures to finance the rest of the film and distribute it internationally.[72][73] Germany and France were scheduled as filming locations and principal photography started in October 2008 on location in Germany.[74][75][76]

Filming was scheduled to begin on October 13, 2008, and shooting started that week.[77][78] Special effects were handled by KNB EFX Group with Greg Nicotero[79] and much of the film was shot and edited in the Babelsberg Studio in Potsdam, Germany,[5] and in Bad Schandau, a small spa town near Germany’s border with the Czech Republic.[80]

Roth said that they “almost got incinerated”, during the theater fire scene, as they projected the fire would burn at 400 °C (752 °F), but it instead burned at 1,200 °C (2,190 °F). He said the swastika was not supposed to fall either, as it was fastened with steel cables, but the steel softened and snapped.[81]

On January 11, 2013, on the BBC’s The Graham Norton Show, Tarantino said that for the scene where Kruger was strangled, he personally strangled the actress, with his own bare hands, in one take, to aid authenticity.[82]

Following the film’s screening at Cannes, Tarantino stated that he would be re-editing the film in June before its ultimate theatrical release, allowing him time to finish assembling several scenes that were not completed in time for the hurried Cannes première.[83]

Music

[edit]

Main article: Inglourious Basterds (soundtrack)

Tarantino originally wanted Ennio Morricone to compose the film’s soundtrack.[44] Morricone was unable to, because the film’s sped-up production schedule conflicted with his scoring of Baarìa (2009).[84] However, Tarantino did use eight tracks composed by Morricone in the film, with four of them included on the CD.[85][86]

The opening theme is taken from the pseudo-folk ballad “The Green Leaves of Summer“, which was composed by Dimitri Tiomkin and Paul Francis Webster for the opening of the 1960 film The Alamo.[85][87] The soundtrack uses a variety of music genres, including Spaghetti Western and R&B. Prominent in the latter part of the film is David Bowie‘s theme from the 1982 film Cat People.[88] The soundtrack, the first of Tarantino’s not to include dialogue excerpts, was released on August 18, 2009.[89][90]

Release

[edit]

Cast and crew at the 2009 Cannes Film Festival

When the script’s final draft was finished, it was leaked on the Internet and several Tarantino fan sites began posting reviews and excerpts from the script.[91][92]

The film’s first full teaser trailer premiered on Entertainment Tonight on February 10, 2009,[93] and was shown in US theaters the following week attached to Friday the 13th.[94] The trailer features excerpts of Lt. Aldo Raine talking to the Basterds, informing them of the plan to ambush and kill, torture, and scalp unwitting German servicemen, intercut with various other scenes from the film.[95] It also features the spaghetti-westernesque terms Once Upon A Time In Nazi Occupied France,[95] which was considered for the film’s title,[96] and A Basterd’s Work Is Never Done, a line not spoken in the final film (the line occurs in the script during the Bear Jew’s backstory).[97]

The film was released on August 19, 2009, in the United Kingdom and France,[98] two days earlier than the US release date of August 21, 2009.[99] It was released in Germany on August 20, 2009.[100] Some European cinemas, however, showed previews starting on August 15.[101] In Poland, the artwork on all advertisements and on DVD packaging is unchanged, but the title was translated non-literally to Bękarty Wojny (Bastards of War), so that Nazi iconography could stylize the letter “O”.[102] Tarantino did not misspell the title to differentiate his film from the 1978 movie by the same name. He said it instead was a creative decision which he initially refused to explain, simply saying that “Basterds” was spelled as such because “that’s just the way you say it”.[103]

Promotion in Germany and Austria

[edit]

Universal Pictures adjusted the film’s publicity materials and website in Germany and Austria to comply with both countries’ penal laws, as the display of Nazi iconography is restricted there: the swastika was removed from the typography of the title, and the steel helmet had a bullet hole in place of the Nazi symbol.[104] The site’s download section was also revised to exclude wallpaper downloads that openly feature the swastika.[105] Though advertising posters and wallpapers may not show Nazi iconography, this restriction does not apply to “works of art”, according to German and Austrian law, so the film itself was not censored in either Germany or Austria.[106]

Home media

[edit]

The film was released on single-disc DVD and a two-disc special-edition DVD and Blu-ray Disc on December 15, 2009, by Universal Studios Home Entertainment in the United States[107] and Australia.[108] It was released on DVD and Blu-ray Disc on December 7, 2009, in the United Kingdom.[109] On its first week of release, the film was number two, only behind The Hangover, selling an estimated 1,581,220 DVDs, making $28,467,652 in the United States.[110]

The German version is 50 seconds longer than the American version. The scene in the tavern has been extended. Although in other countries, the extended scene was released as a bonus feature, the German theatrical, DVD, and Blu-ray versions are the only ones to include the full scene.[111]

Reception

[edit]

Box office

[edit]

Inglourious Basterds grossed $120.5 million in the United States and Canada, and $200.9 million in other territories, for a worldwide gross $321.4 million, against a production budget of $70 million.[7] It became Tarantino’s highest-grossing film, both in the US and worldwide, until Django Unchained in 2012.[112]

Opening in 3,165 screens, the film earned $14.3 million on the opening Friday of its North American release,[113] on the way to an opening-weekend gross of $38 million, giving Tarantino a personal best weekend opening and the number one spot at the box office, ahead of District 9.[114] The film fell to number two in its second weekend, behind The Final Destination, with earnings of $20 million, for a 10-day total of $73.8 million.[115]

Inglourious Basterds opened internationally at number one in 22 markets on 2,650 screens, making $27.49 million. First place openings included France, taking in $6.09 million on 500 screens. The United Kingdom was not far behind making $5.92 million (£3.8 m) on 444 screens. Germany took in $4.20 million on 439 screens and Australia with $2.56 million (A$2.8 m) on 266 screens.[116]

Critical reception

[edit]

Waltz’s breakthrough performance as the antagonist Hans Landa earned notable acclaim and numerous accolades, including the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor.

Review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes reports that 89% of 332 critics have given the film a positive review, with a rating average of 7.8/10. The site’s critical consensus reads: “A classic Tarantino genre-blending thrill ride, Inglourious Basterds is violent, unrestrained, and thoroughly entertaining.”[117] Metacritic, which assigns a rating on reviews, gives the film a weighted average score of 69 out of 100, based on 36 critics, indicating “generally favorable” reviews.[118] Audiences surveyed by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of “A−” on an A+ to F scale.[119]

Critics’ initial reactions at the Cannes Film Festival were mixed. The film received an eight- to eleven-minute standing ovation from critics after its first screening at Cannes,[120][121] although Le Monde dismissed it, saying “Tarantino gets lost in a fictional World War II”.[122] Despite this, Anne Thompson of Variety praised the film, but opined that it was not a masterpiece, claiming: “Inglourious Basterds is great fun to watch, but the movie isn’t entirely engaging … You don’t jump into the world of the film in a participatory way; you watch it from a distance, appreciating the references and the masterful mise en scène. This is a film that will benefit from a second viewing”.[123]

Critic James Berardinelli gave the film his first four-star review of 2009, stating, “With Inglourious Basterds, Quentin Tarantino has made his best movie since Pulp Fiction“, and that it was “one hell of an enjoyable ride”.[124] Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times also gave the film a four-star review, writing that “Quentin Tarantino’s Inglourious Basterds is a big, bold, audacious war movie that will annoy some, startle others and demonstrate once again that he’s the real thing, a director of quixotic delights.”[125]

Author and critic Daniel Mendelsohn was disturbed by the portrayal of Jewish American soldiers mimicking German atrocities done to European Jews, stating, “In Inglourious Basterds, Tarantino indulges this taste for vengeful violence by—well, by turning Jews into Nazis”.[126] Peter Bradshaw of The Guardian stated he was “struck … by how exasperatingly awful and transcendentally disappointing it is”.[127]

While praising Christoph Waltz’s performance (“a good actor new to American audiences”), David Denby, of The New Yorker, dismissed the film with the following words: “The film is skillfully made, but it’s too silly to be enjoyed, even as a joke. … Tarantino has become an embarrassment: his virtuosity as a maker of images has been overwhelmed by his inanity as an idiot de la cinémathèque“.[128] Journalist Christopher Hitchens likened the experience of watching the film to “sitting in the dark having a great pot of warm piss emptied very slowly over your head”.[129]

The film also met some criticism from the Jewish press. In Tablet, Liel Liebowitz criticizes the film as lacking moral depth. He argues that the power of film lies in its ability to impart knowledge and subtle understanding, but Inglourious Basterds serves more as an “alternative to reality, a magical and Manichaean world where we needn’t worry about the complexities of morality, where violence solves everything, and where the Third Reich is always just a film reel and a lit match away from cartoonish defeat”.[130] Anthony Frosh, writer for the online magazine Galus Australis, has criticized the film for failing to develop its characters sufficiently, labeling the film “Enthralling, but lacking in Jewish content”.[131] Daniel Mendelsohn was critical of the film’s depiction of Jews and the overall revisionist history aspect of the film, writing “Do you really want audiences cheering for a revenge that turns Jews into carboncopies of Nazis, that makes Jews into ‘sickening’ perpetrators? I’m not so sure.”[132] Jonathan Rosenbaum equated the film to Holocaust denial, stating “A film that didn’t even entertain me past its opening sequence, and that profoundly bored me during the endlessly protracted build-up to a cellar shoot-out, it also gave me the sort of malaise that made me wonder periodically what it was (and is) about the film that seems morally akin to Holocaust denial, even though it proudly claims to be the opposite of that.”[133] When challenged on his opinion, Rosenbaum elaborated by stating, “For me, Inglourious Basterds makes the Holocaust harder, not easier to grasp as a historical reality. Insofar as it becomes a movie convention – by which I mean a reality derived only from other movies – it loses its historical reality.”[134]

Inglourious Basterds was later ranked #62 on a BBC critics’ poll of the greatest films since 2000.[135] In 2010, the Independent Film & Television Alliance selected the film as one of the 30 Most Significant Independent Films of the last 30 years.[136]

In 2013, GamesRadar+ named Colonel Hans Landa one of the “50 Creepiest Movie Psychopaths”.[137]

Accolades

Main article: List of accolades received by Inglourious Basterds

Christoph Waltz was singled out for Cannes honors, receiving the Best Actor Award at the festival’s end.[140] Film critic Devin Faraci of CHUD.com stated: “The cry has been raised long before this review, but let me continue it: Christoph Waltz needs not an Oscar nomination but rather an actual Oscar in his hands. … he must have gold”.[141]

The film received four Golden Globe Award nominations[142] including Best Motion Picture – Drama and Best Supporting Actor for Waltz, who went on to win the award.[143]

The film also received three Screen Actors Guild Award nominations and went on to win the awards for Best Cast and Best Supporting Actor, which was awarded to Waltz.[144]

The film was nominated for six BAFTA Awards, including Best Director for Tarantino,[145] winning only one award—Best Supporting Actor for Waltz.

In February 2010, the film was nominated for eight Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Supporting Actor for Waltz, and Best Original Screenplay.[146] Waltz was awarded the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor.[147]
