## Academy Awards
**The acting run.** Cooper's Oscar recognition began with his leading role in *Silver Linings Playbook* (2012) and continued with a supporting nomination for *American Hustle* (2013) and a leading nomination for *American Sniper* (2014), which the Academy's own fact sheet describes as his third consecutive acting nomination.[5](https://www.oscars.org/sites/oscars/files/87th_noms_fact_sheet.pdf) *TIME* noted that he joined only nine previous actors who had been nominated three years in a row, and that eight of those nine eventually won an Oscar.[4](https://time.com/3712572/oscars-2015-bradley-cooper-american-sniper/) For *American Sniper* he was also nominated in the Best Picture category as one of the film's producers.[5](https://www.oscars.org/sites/oscars/files/87th_noms_fact_sheet.pdf)
**A Star Is Born.** At the 91st Academy Awards, Cooper received his third Best Actor nomination and his seventh overall, alongside Best Picture and Adapted Screenplay nominations for the same film; the screenplay was credited to [Eric Roth](https://www.edgepedia.org/eric-roth) and Bradley Cooper and Will Fetters.[12](https://www.oscars.org/sites/oscars/files/91st-factsheet.pdf) • [13](https://www.oscars.org/oscars/ceremonies/2019) He did not receive a Directing nomination that year, and said in 2019 that he felt embarrassed about the omission.[2](https://www.the-independent.com/arts-entertainment/films/news/bradley-cooper-oscars-academy-awards-season-meaningless-a9706511.html) The film did bring him directing recognition elsewhere: the [National Board of Review](https://www.edgepedia.org/national-board-of-review) named him Best Director for 2018.[14](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1517451/awards)
**Maestro and the self-directed record.** *Maestro*, his [Leonard Bernstein](https://www.edgepedia.org/leonard-bernstein) film, received seven Academy Award nominations, including Best Picture, Best Actor for Cooper, Best Actress for Carey Mulligan, and Best Original Screenplay for Cooper and Josh Singer.[15](https://apnews.com/article/486cc9b82b6630308ff5c258fc7d80e4) • [3](https://time.com/6837670/oscar-nominees-who-never-won/) With those nominations Cooper became the fourth person to direct himself to an acting nomination on more than one film, after [Laurence Olivier](https://www.edgepedia.org/laurence-olivier) (*Henry V*, *Hamlet*, *Richard III*), Warren Beatty (*Heaven Can Wait*, *Reds*), and [Clint Eastwood](https://www.edgepedia.org/clint-eastwood) (*Unforgiven*, *Million Dollar Baby*).[6](https://press-files.oscars.org/sites/default/files/2024-01/96_noms_sidebars.pdf) Across the twelve nominations he has accumulated roles as actor, producer, and writer, not twelve separate acting bids.[3](https://time.com/6837670/oscar-nominees-who-never-won/)
## Grammy Awards
Cooper's strongest win record is at the Grammys, all connected to film soundtracks. He has three wins from four nominations: Best Pop Duo/Group Performance for "Shallow" with [Lady Gaga](https://www.edgepedia.org/lady-gaga) at the 61st Annual Grammy Awards, Best Compilation Soundtrack for Visual Media for *A Star Is Born* at the 62nd ceremony, and the same soundtrack category again in 2025 for *Maestro: Music by Leonard Bernstein*, shared with conductor Yannick Nézet-Séguin. His only nomination without a win was Record of the Year for "Shallow" in 2019.[7](https://www.grammy.com/artists/bradley-cooper/243190/) Reporting around the 2025 Grammys framed the pattern directly: he keeps winning Grammys while the Oscars have not produced a win, and he remains without an Oscar, a Tony, or a Golden Globe despite nominations for each.[1](https://apnews.com/article/37f0c8eadee2a7d15ac52d72fa673dfb)
## BAFTA and the Golden Globes
Cooper has won one BAFTA during his career.[2](https://www.the-independent.com/arts-entertainment/films/news/bradley-cooper-oscars-academy-awards-season-meaningless-a9706511.html) The BAFTA Leading Actor archive records his nominations in that category for *Silver Linings Playbook* (2013 ceremony), *A Star Is Born* (2019), and *[Maestro](https://www.edgepedia.org/maestro-2023-film)* (2024), with the 2024 award going to [Cillian Murphy](https://www.edgepedia.org/cillian-murphy) for *Oppenheimer*.[8](https://www.bafta.org/awards/film/leading-actor/) At the Golden Globes he has six nominations and no win.[10](https://goldenglobes.com/person/bradley-cooper/) • [1](https://apnews.com/article/37f0c8eadee2a7d15ac52d72fa673dfb)
## Screen Actors Guild and critics' honors
The acting guild has recognized him repeatedly, including a Best Actor nomination for *Maestro* at the 30th [Screen Actors Guild Awards](https://www.edgepedia.org/screen-actors-guild-awards), alongside [Colman Domingo](https://www.edgepedia.org/colman-domingo), Paul Giamatti, Cillian Murphy, and [Jeffrey Wright](https://www.edgepedia.org/jeffrey-wright).[16](https://apnews.com/article/b7fc5e0bbdae2f32ddb08399c1dbdaf7) For *A Star Is Born*, SAG's own materials count two nominations for him in the lead actor category.[17](https://www.sagawards.org/files/sagawards/25sagaw_nominationssupportingmaterials_121218_0.pdf) Among critics' bodies, the American Film Institute named *American Sniper* (2015), *A Star Is Born* (2019), and *Maestro* (2024) among its Top 10 Films of the Year with him credited, and the Palm Springs International Film Festival gave him a Directors to Watch award in 2019.[11](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0177896/awards/) • [14](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1517451/awards)
## Stage work
Cooper's Broadway credits include *Three Days of Rain* (2006) and the revival of *The Elephant Man* (2014–2015), in which he played John Merrick. The latter brought a 2015 Tony Award nomination for Best Performance by an Actor in a Leading Role in a Play and a Drama Desk Award nomination for Outstanding Actor in a Play; the Tony went to [Alex Sharp](https://www.edgepedia.org/alex-sharp) for *The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time*.[9](https://www.ibdb.com/broadway-cast-staff/bradley-cooper-408869) • [18](https://time.com/3911871/tonys-2015-winners/)
## His own view of the record
Cooper has publicly discounted the process he keeps landing in. In a 2020 conversation with his *A Star Is Born* co-star [Anthony Ramos](https://www.edgepedia.org/anthony-ramos), he called awards season "completely devoid of artistic creation" and "utterly meaningless," while acknowledging that it forces a person to face "ego, vanity, and insecurity." He also described the aftermath of losing: "you feel like a loser when people treat you like it afterwards."[2](https://www.the-independent.com/arts-entertainment/films/news/bradley-cooper-oscars-academy-awards-season-meaningless-a9706511.html)
