Note 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.

She has received three nominations for the Academy Award for Best Actress for her performances as a teenage school girl in the coming-of-age drama film An Education (2009), an assault survivor bent on revenge in Promising Young Woman (2020), and Felicia Montealegre in the biographical romantic drama in Maestro (2023).

In 2011, she earned further acclaim for her supporting roles in Nicolas Winding Refn's action drama Drive and Steve McQueen's erotic drama Shame. Mulligan's performance as Daisy Buchanan in the 2013 film adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald's romantic drama The Great Gatsby earned her nomination for the AACTA Award for Best Actress.
