  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.

Sean Michael Leonard "Big Sean" Anderson, is an American hip hop recording artist. Over the years he has received or been nominated for numerous awards, starting with his debut album Finally Famous.
