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.

Peter O'Toole is an Anglo-Irish actor known for his roles on stage and screen. Over his distinguished career he received several accolades including an Academy Award, a British Academy Film Award, four Golden Globe Awards, and a Primetime Emmy Awards as well as nominations for eight competitive Academy Awards, a Grammy Award, a Laurence Olivier Award, and a Screen Actors Guild Award.

O'Toole achieved international recognition playing T. E. Lawrence in Lawrence of Arabia (1962) for which he received his first nomination for the Academy Award for Best Actor. He was nominated for this award another seven times: for playing King Henry II in Becket (1964) and The Lion in Winter (1968), a public school teacher in Goodbye, Mr. Chips (1969), a paranoid schizophrenia in The Ruling Class (1972), a ruthless film director in The Stunt Man (1980), a film actor in My Favorite Year (1982), and an elderly man in Venus (2006) – and holds the record for the most Oscar nominations for acting without a win (tied with Glenn Close). He was awarded the Academy Honorary Award in 2002.^[1]

On television, he received the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Limited Series or Movie for his portrayal of Bishop Pierre Cauchon in the CBS miniseries Joan of Arc (1999).
