^ 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.
McDormand has received eight Academy Award nominations, winning Best Actress for Fargo (1996), Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri (2017), and Nomadland (2020). As one of the producers of Nomadland , she also won Best Picture . Her wins for Nomadland made her the first person in history to win Academy Awards both as producer and performer for the same film, the second woman in history to win Best Actress three times,[ 1] and the seventh performer overall to win three competitive acting Academy Awards .[ a] McDormand has also received Academy Award nominations in five consecutive decades,[ 3] beginning in 1989 for Mississippi Burning (1988), which earned her a nomination for Best Supporting Actress , which she lost to Geena Davis for The Accidental Tourist (1988).[ 4]
McDormand has received three Primetime Emmy Award nominations, her first coming in 1997 for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Limited Series or Television Movie for Hidden in America (1996). For her performance in the HBO miniseries Olive Kitteridge (2014), McDormand won the Outstanding Lead Actress in a Limited Series or Movie in 2015 . As one of the miniseries producers, she also won Outstanding Limited or Anthology Series . McDormand has been twice nominated for the Tony Award for Best Actress in a Play , in 1989 for A Streetcar Named Desire (1988) and in 2012 for Good People (2011), winning for the latter.
