Note
  1. ^ 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.

Sir Alfred Hitchcock was an English film director. During a career spanning sixty years, he won a Golden Globe Award and received nominations for five Academy Awards, four Primetime Emmy Awards, and five Directors Guild of America Awards. Widely regarded as one of the most influential figures in the history of cinema, Hitchcock was awarded with such honorary awards as the Irving G. Thalberg Memorial Award in 1968, the BAFTA Fellowship in 1971, the Golden Globe Cecil B. DeMille Award in 1972, and the AFI Life Achievement Award in 1979. He also was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II in 1980, shortly before his death.

In addition, nine movies directed by Hitchcock were inducted into the National Film Registry and four of them are listed in the American Film Institute list of the 100 greatest American movies of all time. Two other his pictures entered the list of the 100 Greatest British Films of the 20th Century, released by British Film Institute in UK.
