  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.

Woody Allen is an American filmmaker, writer, actor, and comedian. Throughout his career he has received a considerable number of awards and distinctions including four Academy Awards, ten BAFTA Awards, two Golden Globe Awards and a Grammy Award as well as nominations for a Emmy Award and a Tony Award. [1] His honorary awards include a Honorary Golden Lion in 1995, the Directors Guild of America Lifetime Achievement Award in 1996, the BAFTA Fellowship in 1997, the Honorary Palme d'Or in 2002, [2] and the Golden Globe Cecil B. DeMille Award in 2014. [3]

Allen has won three Oscars for Best Original Screenplay for Annie Hall (1977), Hannah and Her Sisters (1986), and Midnight in Paris (2011), and one for Best Director for Annie Hall. He has been nominated 24 times: 16 as a screenwriter, seven as a director, and once as an actor. [4] As of 2024, Allen has more screenwriting Academy Award nominations than any other writer; all in the Best Original Screenplay category. He also holds the record as the oldest winner (at age 76) of the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay (Midnight in Paris, 2011). [5]

Despite friendly recognition from the Academy, Allen has consistently refused to attend the ceremony or acknowledge his Oscar wins. His publicly given reason is his standing engagement to play clarinet in a Monday night ensemble. Back in 1974, Allen was quoted by ABC News as saying, "The whole concept of awards is silly. I cannot abide by the judgment of other people, because if you accept it when they say you deserve an award, then you have to accept it when they say you don't". [6] He broke this pattern once; at the Academy Awards ceremony in 2002, Allen made an unannounced appearance, pleading for producers to continue filming their movies in New York City after the September 11 attacks. [7] He was given a standing ovation before introducing a montage of movie clips featuring New York edited by filmmaker Nora Ephron. [8]

As a writer, Allen won the 1978 O. Henry Award for his short story The Kugelmass Episode, published in The New Yorker on May 2, 1977. On television, he wrote for The Sid Caesar Show earning a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Writing for a Variety Series nomination. On stage, he wrote the Broadway comedic play Play It Again, Sam (1969) and the musical Bullets over Broadway (2014), the later of which earned him a nomination for the Tony Award for Best Book of a Musical. As a standup comedian He was nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Comedy Album for Woody Allen (1964). He won the Grammy Award for Best Compilation Soundtrack for Visual Media for Midnight in Paris (2011).

Woody Allen has received 24 BAFTA Film Awards nominations, winning 10 awards for the films, Annie Hall (1977), Manhattan (1979), Broadway Danny Rose (1984), The Purple Rose of Cairo (1985), Hannah and Her Sisters (1986) and Husbands and Wives (1992). [a] In 2014, Woody Allen was chosen by the Hollywood Foreign Press to receive the Cecil B. DeMille Award for his contributions to the industry. [9] Actress Emma Stone presented a film montage of his work with frequent collaborator Diane Keaton accepting the award on behalf of Allen. [b] [10]

Joffe and Jack Rollins, as the category that year only credited the producers. In 1980, the best film category credited only the director. From 1985 to 1998, both the director and producers were credited.
