For her performance—complete with a dead-on Southern accent—the National Board of Review named McTeer "Best Actress." McTeer also scored Golden Globe and Academy Award nominations.

In 2000, McTeer starred in a somewhat less successful Sundance entry, SongCatcher. That same year, she appeared in the romantic thriller Waking the Dead. McTeer divides her time between her apartments in London and New York.
