  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.

Hayao Miyazaki (Japanese: 宮崎 駿, Hepburn: Miyazaki Hayao, born January 5, 1941) is a Japanese film director, producer, screenwriter, animator, author, and manga artist. A co-founder of Studio Ghibli, he has attained international acclaim as a masterful storyteller and as a maker of anime feature films.[1][2][3] His works are characterized by the recurrence of progressive themes, such as feminism, environmentalism, pacifism, love, and family.[4][5][6] His films' protagonists are often strong girls or young women, and several of his films present morally ambiguous antagonists with redeeming qualities.[7][8][9]

In the course of his career, Miyazaki has received multiple awards and nominations. His first feature films, The Castle of Cagliostro and Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind, earned him the Ōfuji Noburō Award at the Mainichi Film Awards in 1979 and 1984, respectively. His film Laputa: Castle in the Sky won Best Anime at the Anime Grand Prix in 1986, and My Neighbor Totoro won the Special Award at the Blue Ribbon Awards in 1989. He received several awards for his work on Kiki's Delivery Service in 1990, including Best Japanese Film at the Golden Gross Awards and the Special Award at the Japan Academy Film Prize. Porco Rosso also won the Mainichi Film Award for Best Animation Film in 1993.

Miyazaki's film Princess Mononoke was the first animated film to win the Japan Academy Prize for Picture of the Year; its distribution to the Western world greatly increased Ghibli's popularity and influence outside Japan, and his 2001 film Spirited Away won the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature at the 75th Academy Awards. His 2004 film Howl's Moving Castle and 2009 film Ponyo received several awards, including Animation of the Year at the Tokyo Anime Awards, and both were nominated for the Annie Award for Directing in a Feature Production. His 2013 film The Wind Rises was also highly awarded; it received Animation of the Year from the Japan Academy Film Prize, and a nomination for Best Foreign Language Film at the 71st Golden Globe Awards. Howl's Moving Castle and The Wind Rises were nominated for Best Animated Feature at the 78th and 86th Academy Awards. Miyazaki was awarded the Academy Honorary Award in November 2014, for his impact on animation and cinema. His 2023 film The Boy and the Heron won numerous awards, including the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature at the 96th Academy Awards in 2024.
