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 film follows Cassie (Mulligan), a young unstable woman haunted by a traumatic past as she navigates balancing forgiveness and vengeance. It had its world premiere at the Sundance Film Festival on January 25, 2020,[3] and was theatrically released in the United States on December 25, 2020,[4] by Focus Features.[5] It received positive reviews from critics, with praise for its screenplay, direction, and Mulligan's performance, and grossed $17 million worldwide.[6][7]

Promising Young Woman received five nominations at the 93rd Academy Awards and won Best Original Screenplay. At the 74th British Academy Film Awards, the film won two out of its six nominations — Best Original Screenplay and Outstanding British Film. It further received nominations for four Golden Globes, six Critics' Choice Movie Awards (winning Best Actress for Mulligan and Best Original Screenplay), one Screen Actors Guild Awards, four AACTA Awards (winning Best International Film and Best International Actress for Mulligan), amongst several others. The wins at most of the ceremonies were for either Mulligan's performance or Fennell's screenplay and direction.[8][9]
