Shiva Baby is a 2020 film, written and directed by Emma Seligman. It has received many awards and nominations, particularly for Seligman's writing and directing as her feature film debut, and lead actress Rachel Sennott. Seligman was nominated for a Directors Guild Award; casting director Kate Geller won a Casting Society of America award; and the film won the Independent Spirit John Cassavetes Award, in 2022. It also won a National Board of Review Award for 2021, and production designer Cheyenne Ford was selected to the 2021 BAFTA Breakthrough US cohort thanks to her work on the film. Between 2020 and 2022 it won a variety of critics', festival, and media titles; for 2021, and also 2020, it was included on many best-of lists.

As an awards contender, attention was particularly given to Seligman's adapted screenplay^[1]^[2] and Sennott's breakthrough performance in the lead role,^[3]^[4]^[5] with Seligman as a possible female director nominee also noted.^[6]^[7]^[8] In January 2022, The Guardian wrote that the ensemble cast in general, and Polly Draper and Dianna Agron as supporting actresses in particular, were among the performances that "ought to be in the mix [in the awards season], but haven't yet generated the buzz they deserve."^[9] Hungarian film website Hetedik Sor analyzed the whole season's awards performances and named Shiva Baby the "best of the rest".^[10]^[a]

Variety said that the film would be unlikely to impact the Academy Awards, but felt that it deserved to be considered;^[5]^[11] The Independent said it should get a Best Picture nomination but would miss out,^[12] while Fort Worth Weekly felt it was snubbed for a Best Original Score nomination for Ariel Marx,^[13] and Peter Bradshaw of The Guardian thought Sennott should have received a Best Actress nomination.^[14] Distributor Utopia initially considered releasing Shiva Baby in time for it to be eligible for the 93rd Academy Awards;^[15] they did not and the film was eligible for the 94th Academy Awards.^[11]^[16] It was one of the few potential nominees that were not made available in the Academy Screening Room.^[17]

Discussing the Independent Spirit Awards, Vulture theorized that "the stressful mental space" of the film may be a reason for it receiving fewer major nominations, and described the oversight as "kind of deeply insane".^[18] Shiva Baby was the expected winner of the John Cassavetes Award;^[19] the ceremony marked a return to fully in-person events following the COVID-19 pandemic^[20] and, when the film won, the cast and crew all accepted the award on stage.^[21] Interviewed there, Sennott said that "it means so much to [...] feel so supported by [...] the indie filmmaking community".^[22] In her acceptance speech, Seligman dedicated the award to members of the cast and crew who had died since it was made.^[23]
