## Film
Jackman's highest-profile film recognition came with his portrayal of [Jean Valjean](https://www.edgepedia.org/jean-valjean) in [Tom Hooper](https://www.edgepedia.org/tom-hooper)'s *Les Misérables*. In the 85th Academy Awards (2013) he was one of the five nominees for Actor in a Leading Role, a category won by [Daniel Day-Lewis](https://www.edgepedia.org/daniel-day-lewis) for *Lincoln*[7](https://www.oscars.org/oscars/ceremonies/2013). The same performance brought a BAFTA Award nomination for Leading Actor[6](https://www.bafta.org/media-centre/press-releases/bafta-to-host-hugh-jackman-career-retrospective/) • [9](https://www.bafta.org/awards/film/leading-actor/) and the Golden Globe Award for Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture, Musical or Comedy[3](https://goldenglobes.com/person/hugh-jackman/).
His Golden Globe history across his career runs to four nominations with one win[3](https://goldenglobes.com/person/hugh-jackman/): a 2002 nomination for *Kate & Leopold*, the 2013 win for *[Les Misérables](https://www.edgepedia.org/les-miserables-2012-film)*, a 2018 nomination for *The Greatest Showman*, and a 2023 nomination for *[The Son](https://www.edgepedia.org/the-son-2022-film)*[3](https://goldenglobes.com/person/hugh-jackman/).
The [Saturn Awards](https://www.edgepedia.org/saturn-awards), given by the Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror Films, recognized the genre work that made him famous. He was nominated in 2018 for Best Actor for *Logan* and won the 2025 Saturn Award for Best Supporting Actor in a Film for *Deadpool & Wolverine*[1](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0413168/awards/). His blockbusters also earned popular-vote recognition: as [Wolverine](https://www.edgepedia.org/wolverine) he received the 2009 [Spike Video Game Awards](https://www.edgepedia.org/spike-video-game-awards) prize for Best Performance By A Human Male, jointly with a Best Cast award, for the *X-Men Origins: Wolverine* game[8](https://wiki.kidzsearch.com/wiki/List_of_awards_and_nominations_received_by_Hugh_Jackman).
Jackman started out in the Australian independent film scene, and 1999 brought his first significant acclaim: for his work in *Erskineville Kings*, he received the Australian Film Critics' Circle Award for Best Actor and was nominated for Best Actor by the Australian Film Institute[6](https://www.bafta.org/media-centre/press-releases/bafta-to-host-hugh-jackman-career-retrospective/).
## Television
The Television Academy's database lists five Emmy nominations and one win[2](https://www.televisionacademy.com/bios/hugh-jackman). Three of the nominations recognize his work as an awards-show host: Outstanding Individual Performance in a Variety or Music Program in 2005 for hosting the 58th Annual Tony Awards, which he won, and again in 2006 for the 59th Annual Tony Awards; and Outstanding Special Class Program in 2009 for hosting the 81st Annual Academy Awards[2](https://www.televisionacademy.com/bios/hugh-jackman). He received a fourth hosting nomination in 2015 for the 68th Annual Tony Awards[2](https://www.televisionacademy.com/bios/hugh-jackman). His most recent nomination as of 2022 came in 2020, for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Limited Series or Movie as Frank Tassone in HBO's *Bad Education*[2](https://www.televisionacademy.com/bios/hugh-jackman).
## Theatre
Jackman's stage honors center on *[The Boy from Oz](https://www.edgepedia.org/the-boy-from-oz)*, the Broadway musical in which he played Peter Allen. He won the 2004 [Tony Award for Best Actor in a Musical](https://www.edgepedia.org/tony-award-for-best-actor-in-a-musical), and with it the Drama Desk, Drama League, Outer Critics Circle, and Theatre World awards for the same role[5](https://www.tonyawards.com/winners/?q=Hugh+Jackman) • [10](https://cityclerk.lacity.org/onlinedocs/2012/12-1842_RPT_BOE_11-26-12.pdf). In 2012 he received a Special Tony Award, shared with [Actors' Equity Association](https://www.edgepedia.org/actors-equity-association)[5](https://www.tonyawards.com/winners/?q=Hugh+Jackman).
## Music
Jackman's sole Recording Academy recognition is the 61st Annual Grammy Award for Best Compilation Soundtrack for Visual Media, awarded to the soundtrack of *[The Greatest Showman](https://www.edgepedia.org/the-greatest-showman-soundtrack)*[4](https://www.grammy.com/artists/hugh-jackman/245656/). The Recording Academy lists him with one win from one nomination in that category[4](https://www.grammy.com/artists/hugh-jackman/245656/).
## Shape of the record
The record shows a distinctive pattern: Jackman's competitive wins cluster in musical performance rather than dramatic film acting. His four top-level wins, the Emmy, the Golden Globe, the Grammy, and his first Tony, all recognize singing, dancing, or hosting on stage or in musical productions[2](https://www.televisionacademy.com/bios/hugh-jackman) • [3](https://goldenglobes.com/person/hugh-jackman/) • [4](https://www.grammy.com/artists/hugh-jackman/245656/) • [5](https://www.tonyawards.com/winners/?q=Hugh+Jackman). His single Oscar and BAFTA nominations also came from a musical, *Les Misérables*[7](https://www.oscars.org/oscars/ceremonies/2013) • [6](https://www.bafta.org/media-centre/press-releases/bafta-to-host-hugh-jackman-career-retrospective/), while the Wolverine films that dominate his filmography are represented mainly by Saturn Awards and popular-vote honors[1](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0413168/awards/). In 2016, Jackman was appointed a Member of the [Order of Australia](https://www.edgepedia.org/order-of-australia), reflected in the honorific AC used by institutions such as the National Portrait Gallery of Australia[11](https://www.portrait.gov.au/people/hugh-jackman-1968).
