Among John Huston's other awards were three Golden Globes: for Best Motion Picture Director (The Treasure of the Sierra Madre and Prizzi's Honor) and for Best Supporting Actor (The Cardinal). He received an Independent Spirit Award for his direction of The Dead; a Silver Ribbon from the Italian National Syndicate of Film Journalists for his direction of Moby Dick; a London Critics Circle Film Award for directing The Dead; three National Board of Review awards for directing, for The Treasure of the Sierra Madre, The Asphalt Jungleand Moby Dick; and National Film Critics Circle Awards for direction for The Treasure of the Sierra Madre, Moby Dick and Prizzi's Honor.
