^ 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.
Her other achievements include finishing in the top 20 of the sixth season of So You Think You Can Dance in 2009 and earning a nomination for the BAFTA Rising Star Award in 2022 following her breakthrough role of Anita in 2021's West Side Story , a Spielberg rendition of the 1961 film and 1957 stage musical of the same name. Additionally, her 2022 Oscar win for West Side Story made her the first Afro-Latina and openly queer woman of color to receive an Oscar in an acting category.
