  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.

After her West End theatre debut in the early 2010s, Erivo garnered critical attention with her lead role as Celie, a young woman suffering abuse in the Deep South, in the Broadway revival of the musical The Color Purple. She won the Tony Award for Best Actress in a Musical and the Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Actress in a Musical, and also won the Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Musical Performance in a Daytime Program and the Grammy Award for Best Musical Theater Album alongside the cast of The Color Purple.[1][2]

Erivo transitioned to film acting in 2018 with roles in Drew Goddard's neo-noir thriller film Bad Times at the El Royale[3] and Steve McQueen's heist drama Widows.[4] In 2019, she gained national acclaim for portraying slave abolitionist Harriet Tubman in Kasi Lemmons' historical biopic Harriet, receiving Best Actress nominations at the Academy Awards, Golden Globe Awards, and Screen Actors Guild Awards.[5] She also performed and co-wrote the film's lead song "Stand Up" with Joshuah Brian Campbell, which was nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Song Written for Visual Media and for Best Original Song at the Academy Awards and Golden Globe Awards.[6]

In 2020, Erivo starred in the miniseries The Outsider, being nominated for the Critics' Choice Television Awards and the Critics' Choice Super Awards.[7] The following year, she portrayed Aretha Franklin in Genius: Aretha, receiving nominations at the Primetime Emmy Awards, Golden Globe Awards, Satellite Awards, and Screen Actors Guild Awards.[8]

In 2024, Erivo starred as Elphaba Thropp in Wicked, the first of two film adaptations of the stage musical. She garnered critical acclaim for the role and was subsequently nominated for the Academy Award, BAFTA Award, Critics' Choice Movie Award, Golden Globe Award, and Screen Actors Guild Award for Best Actress. With her Academy Award nomination, Erivo joined actress Viola Davis as the second black actress to be nominated multiple times for the Academy Award for Best Actress.
