Graham Broadbent, Pete Czernin, Martin McDonagh; Frances McDormand, Sam Rockwell, Woody Harrelson, Abbie Cornish, Samara Weaving; nominated for Best Film Oscar 2018; won Best Motion Picture (Drama) Golden Globes 2018; won Best Director Golden Globes 2018: Martin McDonagh; won Best Actress in a Motion Picture (Drama): Frances McDormand; 7 Oscar nominations: McDorman won Best Actress, Rockwell won Best Actor; A mother personally challenges the local authorities to solve her daughter's murder when they fail to catch the culprit.
