^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.
^I Shared with rest of the ensemble cast, director, and casting director of I'm Not There ^II Shared with rest of the ensemble cast of Brokeback Mountain ^III Shared with rest of the ensemble cast of The Dark Knight ^IV Shared with Christian Bale
