This is the list of awards and nominations received by Coen brothers (Joel Coen and Ethan Coen).
Awards
Joel Coen and Ethan Coen 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.
