Matt Dillon Oscar Nominations and Wins
Matt Dillon has been nominated for one Academy Award, receiving a Best Supporting Actor nomination for the 2005 film Crash. The film won three Oscars that year, including Best Picture, but Dillon did not win the acting award, losing to George Clooney for Syriana. His only Oscar nomination remains his most prominent recognition from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, as of the latest public data available on the Oscars official site oscars.org.
Dillon's total career box office gross across his filmography exceeds 1.5 billion dollars worldwide, according to box office tracking sites, but none of his individual films won the Best Picture Oscar. Crash, his highest-profile Oscar campaign, earned 98.4 million dollars globally on a 15 million dollar budget, per public box office data boxofficemojo.com. He has not received additional Oscar nominations since that single nod in 2006.
Career Roles and Awards Context
Dillon's filmography includes roles in mainstream hits such as the 2003 crime thriller The Rundown, the 2005 drama Crash, and the 2006 film A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints, for which he won the Best Actor prize at the Sundance Film Festival. His performance in Crash, directed by Paul Haggis, placed him alongside an ensemble cast that included Sandra Bullock, Don Cheadle, and Ryan Phillippe.
Other Major Awards and Recognition
Beyond the Oscar nomination, Dillon earned a nomination for the Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Supporting Role for Crash. He also received a nomination for the Independent Spirit Award for Best Male Lead for A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints, confirming his presence in both mainstream and independent award circuits.
