No Country for Old Men has grossed a worldwide total of over $172 million on a production budget of $25 million.[9] Rotten Tomatoes, a review aggregator, surveyed 265 reviews and judged 93 percent to be positive.[10]

At the 80th Academy Awards, the film received eight nominations, the most nominations at the ceremony tied with There Will Be Blood.[11] It went on to win four awards including Best Picture, Best Director, (Joel and Ethan Coen), Best Supporting Actor (Bardem), and Best Adapted Screenplay (Ethan and Joel Coen).[12] The Coen brothers became the second pair of individuals to win Best Directing for helming the same film.[13] No Country for Old Men earned four nominations at the 65th Golden Globe Awards, winning for Best Screenplay for the Coen brothers and Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actor for Bardem. At the 61st British Academy Film Awards, the film received nine nominations and won for Best Direction, Best Supporting Actor, and Best Cinematography.[14]
