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.

For her work in television she has received 8 Primetime Emmy Awards nominations, winning twice for Outstanding Guest Actress in a Drama Series for Law and Order: SVU in 2009 and Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie for Political Animals in 2013. For her work on the Broadway stage she received the Tony Award for Best Actress in a Play for Same Time, Next Year in 1975.
