  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 following is a list of awards and nominations received by Cynthia Erivo. She has won a Tony Award, Emmy Award, and a Grammy Award, and been nominated for two Academy Awards. She is one of few artists to receive nominations for all four major American entertainment awards (EGOT), of which she is missing the Oscar.

After her theatre debut in the early 2010s, Erivo garnered critical attention with her lead role in the Broadway revival of the musical The Color Purple, being awarded with a Tony Award, a Drama Desk Award and a Daytime Emmy Award.[1] Thanks to The Color Purple's soundtrack from the stage production, she won a Grammy Award for Best Musical Theater Album in 2017.[2] She later appeared as a guest in several television series and acted in Drew Goddard's neo-noir thriller film Bad Times at the El Royale, receiving a Saturn Awards nomination for her performance,[3] and in critically acclaimed film Widows.[4]

In 2019, Erivo gained national acclaim for her lead role in Kasi Lemmons's film Harriet, which gave her several accolades, including nominations at the Academy Awards, Golden Globe, Screen Actors Guild Awards and at the NAACP Image Awards.[5] She also performed and co-wrote with Joshuah Brian Campbell Harriet's lead song "Stand Up", earning the Grammy award nomination for Best Song Written for Visual Media and for Best Original Song at both the Academy Award and the Golden Globe Award.[6]

In 2020 Erivo starred in american miniseries The Outsider, being nominated for the Critics' Choice Television Awards and the Critics' Choice Super Awards.[7] The following year she acted as Aretha Franklin in television series Genius: Aretha, receiving critical acclaim, with nominations at the Primetime Emmy Awards, the Golden Globe Awards, the Satellite Awards and the Screen Actors Guild Awards.[8]
