Hall has been the recipient of many awards for all aspects of his work. He won the Alfred Bradley Bursary and the Richard Imison Prize with his first play for radio, I Luv You Jimmy Spud, which he adapted for the screen as Gabriel and Me and which premiered at the Edinburgh Film Festival. His career stemmed from seeing the film Kes, which inspired him to try his hand at writing and led to him spending some time as Pearson Writer in Residence for the Royal Shakespeare Company. He received a Writers Guild and Talkie Award in 1997 for Spoonface Steinberg, one of his God's Country series of plays for BBC Radio which was then adapted for television.

Norman first envisioned the idea for SHAKESPEARE IN LOVE in 1987 while working with director Ed Zwick ("Glory"). His idea was to portray a young William Shakespeare as a struggling writer working to create his first truly great play, "Romeo and Juliet." Before then, Shakespeare had written several plays and poems, but it wasn't until "Romeo and Juliet" that he was recognized as the preeminent playwright of his time. In addition to the two Oscars, SHAKESPEARE IN LOVE earned Marc two Golden Globes, a Writer's Guild Award, a Silver Bear at the Berlin Film Festival and Best Screenplay awards at the Broadcast Film Critics Awards, the New York and Chicago Film Critics Society.
