  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.

This is a list of awards and nominations received by American actress Taraji P. Henson. She has received various awards and nominations, winning one Golden Globe Award, one Critics' Choice Movie Award, and a Screen Actors Guild Award. Additionally, she has been nominated for one Academy Award, three Primetime Emmy Awards, and two Daytime Emmy Awards.
