Note
  1. Certain award groups do not simply award one winner. They recognize 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.

Girls is an American comedy-drama television series created, written, directed by, and starring Lena Dunham. The series has aired for six seasons on the cable channel HBO from April 15, 2012 to April 16, 2017.
