#Q ORIGINAL QUESTION

Regarding the film Hot Fuzz (2007), did any actors win any awards for their roles or get nominated, and who were they up against?

#M ANNOTATED LLM RESPONSE

The actors and the film Hot Fuzz (2007) received several notable awards and nominations, primarily in the United Kingdom and through comedy-focused organizations. While the film was a critical and commercial success, its primary accolades were concentrated in the 2008 award season.

Simon Pegg (Nicholas Angel)

Simon Pegg received the most individual recognition for his lead role as the hyper-competent Sergeant Nicholas Angel.

BAFTA/LA British Comedy Awards (2008):
- Award: Winner, Best British Comedy Performer in Film.
- Competitors: He was up against Harry Hill and the comedy duo Mitchell and Webb (David Mitchell and Robert Webb).
Empire Awards (2008):
- Category: Nominated, Best Actor.
- Winner: James McAvoy (Atonement).
- Other Nominees: Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix), Gerard Butler (300), and Matt Damon (The Bourne Ultimatum).

Nick Frost (Danny Butterman)

While Nick Frost did not win high-profile individual acting awards for Hot Fuzz (unlike his "Most Promising Newcomer" nomination for Shaun of the Dead), he shared in the film’s major comedy wins and was nominated alongside the ensemble in various populist categories.

National Movie Awards (2007): He shared the Best Comedy win with Simon Pegg and Edgar Wright.

Supporting Cast

The film is famous for its "who's who" of British acting talent, but individual award recognition for the supporting cast was limited:

Timothy Dalton (Simon Skinner): Despite his performance being a fan favorite and receiving retrospective praise as one of the best "villain" roles in comedy, he did not receive major industry nominations (such as a BAFTA or BIFA) for this specific role.
Jim Broadbent (Inspector Frank Butterman): Although a highly decorated Oscar and BAFTA winner, he did not receive individual nominations for Hot Fuzz. Interestingly, in 2007–2008, he was actually nominated for several awards (and won a BAFTA TV Award) for a different role in the television film Longford.
