Film critic Richard Roeper gave the film a positive review , writing , " '' Iron Jawed Angels '' is an important history lesson told in a fresh , and blazing fashion . " Scott Faundas of '' Variety '' gave the film a negative review , writing , " HBO 's starry suffragette drama , '' Iron Jawed Angels '' , latches on to a worthy historical subject and then hopes noble intentions will be enough to carry the day . Alas , there 's no such luck in this talky , melodramatic overview of the dawn of equal rights for women in America . Gussied up with a comically anachronistic use of period music on the soundtrack and flashy , MTV-style montage sequences , pic misguidedly strives – but ultimately fails – to belie its instincts as an assembly-line movie-of-the-week . " Robert Pardi of '' TV Guide '' gave a mixed review , " All the elements for a splendid film about the early days of the women 's rights are in place , but director Katja von Garnier 's use of distracting cinematic trickery and jarringly modern music meshes poorly with the period setting ... Blessed with a flawless physical production , von Garnier distorts her epic tale with music that belongs on a Lilith Fair tour ; it sometimes feels as though she and her writers conceived the fight for women 's suffrage as a 1912 version of '' Sex and the City '' . Only when the anachronisms finally subside in the film 's final third is the moving core is allowed to shine . " The film was nominated for five awards at 56th Primetime Emmy Awards , none of which were won ; three awards at the 62nd Golden Globe Awards , winning one ; and two awards at the 9th Golden Satellite Awards , winning one . Anjelica Huston won the Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actress – Series , Miniseries or Television Film and the Satellite Award for Best Supporting Actress – Series , Miniseries or Television Film for her performance in the film
