  1. ↑ Certain award groups do not simply award one winner. They acknowledge several different recipients, have runners-up, and have third place. Since this is a specific recognition and is different from losing an award, runner-up mentions are considered wins in this award tally. For simplification and to avoid errors, each award in this list has been presumed to have had a prior nomination.

The following is a list of awards and nominations received by Dame Angela Lansbury.

Dame Angela Lansbury (October 16, 1925 – October 11, 2022) was a British-American actress known for her extensive work on stage and screen. Lansbury has received numerous accolades including an Academy Honorary Award, six Golden Globe Awards, a Laurence Olivier Award, and five Tony Awards as well as nominations for a BAFTA Award, 18 Primetime Emmy Awards, a Grammy Award, and a Screen Actors Guild Award. She is one of few performers who have received nominations for all EGOT awards — Emmy, Grammy, Academy Award (Oscar), and Tony Awards.

Lansbury started her career in film earning three Academy Award nominations for Best Supporting Actress for her performances as a maid in Gaslight (1944), a tavern singer in The Picture of Dorian Gray (1945), and a sinister mother in The Manchurian Candidate (1962). She received an Honorary Academy Award for her lifetime achievement in film in 2013. She also earned two Golden Globe Awards for The Picture of Dorian Gray, and The Manchurian Candidate. She earned a Grammy Award nomination for Album of the Year for Beauty and the Beast (1991).

Lansbury, an icon in musical theatre, won five competitive Tony Award: four for Best Actress in a Musical (current record for this category) for playing the title role in Mame (1966), Countess Aurelia in Dear World (1969), Mama Rose in Gypsy (1975), and Mrs. Lovett in Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (1979), and one for Best Featured Actress in a Play for playing Madame Arcati in Blithe Spirit (2009). She was Tony-nominated for her roles in Deuce (2007), and A Little Night Music (2010). She also earned a Laurence Olivier Award, three Drama Desk Awards, and two Outer Critics Circle Awards.

For her work in television she earned 18 Primetime Emmy Award nominations including a record 12 consecutive nominations for Outstanding Actress in a Drama Series for her role as Jessica Fletcher in the CBS murder-mystery series Murder, She Wrote (1984–1996). The role earned her 10 Golden Globe Award for Best Actress – Television Series Drama nominations with four wins and a nomination for the Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series. [1] She was Emmy-nominated for hosting the 41st Tony Awards, and the 43rd Tony Awards.

Lansbury has many awards records including tying with Julie Harris with the most Tony Awards from a performer with five. She was surpassed only by Audra McDonald with six wins. Only five performers have been nominated for all four Tony acting awards, Lansbury, McDonald, Raúl Esparza, Jan Maxwell, and Boyd Gaines. [2] At the Golden Globes, Lansbury tied with Alan Alda, Shirley MacLaine, and Jack Nicholson as the second-most awarded performer in acting categories, and surpassed only by Meryl Streep with eight wins.

Lansbury was appointed a Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire (DBE) [3] by Queen Elizabeth II in 2014 for her services to drama. Over her career she has received several honorary awards such as the Screen Actors Guild Life Achievement Award in 1997, the National Medal of Arts in 1997, the Kennedy Center Honors in 2000, the Britannia Award for Lifetime Achievement in 2003, and a Special Tony Award in 2022. Lansbury has two stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and was inducted into the American Theatre Hall of Fame in 1982 and the Television Hall of Fame in 1996.
