  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.

Octavia Spencer is an American actress, author, and producer. She has received several awards including an Academy Award, a BAFTA Award, a Golden Globe Award, and three Screen Actors Guild Awards as well as nominations for two Primetime Emmy Awards.

For her roles on film she received the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for playing a Minny Jackson, a maid from the south in the period drama The Help (2011).
