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.

At the 67th Academy Awards, Pulp Fiction nominated in seven categories and won Best Screenplay Written Directly for the Screen (Quentin Tarantino and Roger Avary). At the 52nd Golden Globe Awards it received six nominations and won Best Screenplay – Motion Picture. At the 48th British Academy Film Awards it received nine nominations and won two, including those for Best Original Screenplay and Best Supporting Actor (Samuel L. Jackson). At the 47th Cannes Film Festival it won Palme d'Or award.

It became one of the seven films to win Best Picture from three out of four major U.S. film critics' groups (LA, NBR, NY, NSFC) along with Nashville, All the President's Men, Terms of Endearment, Goodfellas, The Hurt Locker, and Drive My Car.
