  1. ^ 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 actress Meryl Streep has been recognized with multiple awards and nominations for her work on screen and stage, including being one of few individuals to be nominated for both the Triple Crown of Acting and EGOT. Streep has won three Academy Awards, two BAFTA Awards, 9 Golden Globe Awards, three Emmy Awards, and two Screen Actors Guild Awards as well as nominations for 7 Grammy Awards and a Tony Award. She received numerous honorary accolades including an Honorary César in 2003, a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2004, the AFI Life Achievement Award in 2004,[1] the Honorary Golden Bear in 2012,[2][3] and the Cecil B. DeMille Award in 2017.[4] She received the Kennedy Center Honor in 2011 and President Barack Obama presented her with National Medal of Arts in 2010 and the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2014.[5][6]

She holds the record for the most Academy Award nominations of any actor, having been nominated 21 times—17 for Best Actress, and four for Best Supporting Actress—since the first nomination in 1978 for her performance in The Deer Hunter.[7] She has won three times for her work in Kramer vs. Kramer (1980), Sophie's Choice (1983), and The Iron Lady (2012), making her the fifth actor to win three competitive acting Academy Awards.[a] In 2009, Streep became the most-nominated performer in the Golden Globe Awards history when her Best Actress nominations for Doubt and Mamma Mia! gave her 23 in total, surpassing Jack Lemmon’s previous record of 22.[9][10] Three years later, she garnered her eighth win for The Iron Lady, more than any actors.[11][12] She received a record-breaking 30th nomination for Florence Foster Jenkins (2013).[13]

With her fifteenth nomination for Florence Foster Jenkins in 2017, Streep tied with Judi Dench for the most-nominated actor at the BAFTA Awards.[14] She has won the award for Best Actress twice for her roles in The French Lieutenant's Woman (1982) and The Iron Lady (2012). For her work in The Hours, Streep received a Silver Bear for Best Actress at the 53rd Berlin International Film Festival, who later recognized her with an Honorary Golden Bear at their 62nd ceremony. Her portrayal as Lindy Chamberlain in Evil Angels[b] earned her a Cannes Film Festival Award.

In 1976, Streep won the Outer Critics Circle Award for Outstanding Performance for her stage debut in Trelawny of the 'Wells' and Tennessee Williams' 27 Wagons Full of Cotton.[15] The latter work also earned her nominations for Best Actress at the Drama Desk and Tony Award. The following year, she was a double nominee at the Drama Desk Award for the featured role in The Cherry Orchard and starred in the musical Happy End. Streep won the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actress – Miniseries or a Movie for her roles in the miniseries Holocaust (1978) and Angels in America (2003). She also won Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Narrator for her work on documentary Five Came Back (2017).[16]

In 1983, Yale University, from which Streep graduated in 1975,[17] awarded her an Honorary Degree, a Doctorate of Fine Arts.[18] The first university to award her an Honorary Degree was Dartmouth College, where she spent time as a transfer student in 1970, in 1981. In 1998, Women in Film awarded Streep with the Crystal Award.[19] In 1999, she was awarded a George Eastman Award, given by George Eastman House for distinguished contribution to the art of film.[20] In 2004, at the Moscow International Film Festival, she was honored with the Stanislavsky Award for the outstanding achievement in the career of acting and devotion to the principles of Stanislavsky's school.
