Edgar Wright is still to reach forty years old, yet he has accomplished so much at a young age. He has a very extensive resume. Wright's List of credits can be compared to those who have many more years of experience. It would not be unreasonable to confuse his works with those of seasoned veterans. He managed to excel to the next level with his rom-zom-com Shaun of the Dead and his action/comedy opus Hot Fuzz. The award winning UK series turned International cult phenomenon Spaced did not hurt his resume either. Wright has managed to evolve from a young film loving geek yearning to be recognized to one of the most wanted geeks in the film industry today.
Wright has received several nominations for his works. He received a few nominations for Spaced at the BAFTA Awards in both 2000 and 2008 for the Situation Comedy Award. Edgar's Shaun of the Dead is responsible for majority of his nominations. This film has received at least five different nominations including Best Screenplay. It actually won two different times. The first being best screen play in 2004 at the British Independent Film Awards, and second in 2005 winning best screenplay at the Bram Stoker Awards. The film has also contributed to individual nominations for Wright. He was nominated in 2005 for Best British Director at the Empire Awards, UK. He was also nominated for British Screenwriter of the Year at the London Critics Circle Film Awards. He received another nomination for Best Breakthrough Filmmaker at the Online Film Critics Society Awards. In 2008, Wright received the nomination for Best Director with Hot Fuzz at the Empire Awards, UK. These awards and nominations are potentially just a fraction of what he will accomplish through his career.
