Note ^ Certain award groups do not simply award one winner. They recognize 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 actor and filmmaker James Franco has received several awards and nominations for his work. His breakthrough was as the titular late actor in the biographical television film James Dean (2001), for which he won the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor in a Miniseries or Television Film and was nominated for the Emmy and SAG in that category. He received a Critics' Choice Movie Award for Best Acting Ensemble and nominations for the Critics' Choice Movie Award for Best Supporting Actor and SAG for Best Cast for his role in Milk (2008). Franco's roles in Pineapple Express (2008) and as Aron Ralston 127 Hours (2010) both earned him nominations for the Golden Globe for Best Actor,^[a] the latter of which also earned him a nomination for the Academy Award, BAFTA, Critics' Choice, and SAG in that category.

His hosting of the 83rd Academy Awards and the short form variety show Making a Scene earned him additional Emmy nominations, for Outstanding Special Class Program and Outstanding Short Form Variety Series, respectively. Franco won a second Golden Globe and received nominations for the Critics' Choice and SAG for Best Actor for portraying Tommy Wiseau in the biopic The Disaster Artist (2017), which he also directed.

Due to a series of lawsuits related to misconduct allegations, Franco has not acted since 2019, but has a number of projects currently in the works.
