Note
  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 George Clooney.

George Clooney is an American filmmaker and actor. Throughout his career he received numerous accolades including two Academy Awards, a BAFTA Award, four Golden Globe Awards, and four Screen Actors Guild Awards as well as nominations for three Emmy Awards and a Tony Award. During his career he has received several honors including the Bob Hope Humanitarian Award in 2010, the Stanley Kubrick Award in 2013, the Cecil B. DeMille Award in 2015, the Honorary César in 2017, the AFI Life Achievement Award in 2018, and the Kennedy Center Honors in 2022.

Clooney has received eight Academy Award nominations, winning two—Best Supporting Actor for his portrayal of a veteran CIA officer in Syriana (2005) and as co-producer of Best Picture winner Argo (2012). He was previously Oscar-nominated for Best Actor for his performances as an attorney in Michael Clayton (2007), a suave businessman in Up in the Air (2009), and a widower patriarch in The Descendants (2011). He was also nominated for Best Director, and Best Original Screenplay for Good Night, and Good Luck (2005), and Best Adapted Screenplay for The Ides of March (2011).

He is one of only three people ever to have been nominated in six different Academy Award categories (Best Picture; Best Director; Best Original Screenplay; Best Adapted Screenplay; Best Lead Actor; Best Supporting Actor), following Walt Disney and later joined by Alfonso Cuarón. [1] (This record has since been surpassed by Kenneth Branagh, who has been nominated in seven different categories. [2] )

On television, he appeared in The Facts of Life and Roseanne before landing the role of Dr. Doug Ross on the long-running NBC medical drama series ER . From 1994 to 1999, he was nominated twice for the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series, three times for the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor – Television Series Drama, and twice for the Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Actor in a Drama Series. He won four Outstanding Ensemble in a Drama Series with the cast in 1996-99.

In 2025, Clooney made his Broadway debut in Good Night, and Good Luck , which earned him his first nomination for the Tony Award for Best Actor in a Play.
