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.

American singer Lionel Richie has been honored with many awards and nominations. They include four Grammy Awards and an Academy Award for Best Original Song for "Say You, Say Me".
