## Totals and tallying conventions
Counts differ between trackers because of differing conventions. IMDb lists 58 wins and 54 nominations overall.[1](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001085/awards/) Among the six major award groups, one compiled tally gives 1 win and 1 nomination at the Academy Awards, 3 wins and 6 nominations at the Actor (SAG) Awards, 1 and 1 at BAFTA, 4 and 4 at the Critics' Choice Awards, 1 and 3 at the Emmys, and 2 and 6 at the Golden Globes, for a total of 12 wins and 21 nominations; that tally counts runner-up mentions as wins, since some award groups recognize several recipients and placements rather than a single winner.[8](https://profilpelajar.com/en/List_of_awards_and_nominations_received_by_Kieran_Culkin) [Individual](https://www.edgepedia.org/individual) award bodies' own databases are the narrower records: the Golden Globes site lists 2 wins from 6 nominations,[2](https://goldenglobes.com/person/kieran-culkin/) and the Television Academy lists 1 Emmy from 3 nominations.[3](https://www.televisionacademy.com/bios/kieran-culkin)
