 Partly done - I've added the awards. I'm not sure if the wording of the heading is appropriate, so I'll leave this request open for someone else who's more experienced to check. Lewcm Talk to me! 23:41, 20 November 2023 (UTC)

I don't think it's necessary to sort the awards into subsections. There's already enough debate about whether awards are truly notable and not just promotional, and in this specific case not having their own articles doesn't help the argument. Marking answered.
