'' Her '' was met with universal acclaim from critics . Todd McCarthy of '' The Hollywood Reporter '' praised Jonze for taking an old theme " the search for love and the need to ' only connect ' " and embracing it " in a speculative way that feels very pertinent to the moment and captures the emotional malaise of a future just an intriguing step or two ahead of contemporary reality . " Scott Foundas of '' Variety '' opined that it was Jonze 's " richest and most emotionally mature work to date " . At the 86th Academy Awards , Jonze was nominated for three Academy Awards for '' Her '' , winning for Best Original Screenplay and receiving further nominations for Best Picture and Best Original Song for co-writing " The Moon Song " with Karen O.
