Freemantle received a nomination for a BAFTA Award, a Golden Reel Award, an OFTA Film Award, a Satellite Award and a Critics Choice Award . The 2013 released dramatic sci-fi thriller Gravity starring Sandra Bullock and George Clooney , which received over 200 awards and an additional 175 nominations for awards, is also one of the films that are part of Freemantle's oeuvre. He has received an Oscar, a BAFTA Award, an AMPS Feature Film Award, a Gold Derby Award, an INOCA, a Golden Reel Award and other awards and nominations for his work in this film.
