This film I would be happy to see win some Oscars, but Emmy's aren't half bad. Temple Grandin won 5 Emmy's. It won Best Supporting Actor for a Miniseries/Made for TV movie, Best Supporting Actress M/M, Best Directing in an M/M, Best Actress M/M, and Best Made for TV movie. It deserved those awards. This film is an amazing movie about an amazing person. Everythng about this movie is done right. The actors are all great, the direction is great, the writing is great, everything is perfect. The person who gives what I think is one of the best Actress performances I have ever seen is Claire Danes as Temple Grandin. She is so good I thought it was the real Temple Grandin. She moves, and acts just like a real autistic person does. Her performance reminds me a lot of what I think is the greatest performance ever in film history Tom Hanks as Forrest Gump. I think that she is simply amazing. The film also manges to capture the magic of this amazing true story. Temple Grandin is one of the most amazing women I've ever heard of, and this film film captures the amazement. This film is beyond just a really good HBO movie.
