Jackson also has been nominated for Golden Globe and Directors Guild of America awards, and has received kudos from the Southeastern Film Critics Association.

Sean Penn is the Dallas-Fort Worth critics' choice for best actor for "Mystic River" and Charlize Theron won for best actress for "Monster."
