Note
  1. ^ Certain award groups do not simply award one winner. They recognize 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.

Pharrell Williams is an American singer-songwriter and producer. Since his debut as a music producer with The Neptunes, he has worked with many artists in the contemporary music industry, such as Beyoncé, Madonna, Jay-Z, Kanye West, Calvin Harris, Gwen Stefani, Ariana Grande, Alicia Keys, Rihanna, Justin Timberlake, Janelle Monáe, Mariah Carey, Solange Knowles, Snoop Dogg and Britney Spears.[1] Williams has also collaborated in some of the best-selling singles worldwide, such as "Get Lucky", "I Just Wanna Love U (Give It 2 Me)" and "Blurred Lines". He started his solo career with two albums In My Mind (2006) and G.I.R.L. (2014). The latter album produced the lead single "Happy", which has sold almost 14 million copies worldwide.

Williams has received numerous accolades and nominations; he has won 13 Grammy Awards from 42 nominations, including three as Producer of the Year, Non-Classical (one came as a part of The Neptunes in 2004). He has also won four BET Awards, six Billboard Music Award, one MTV Video Music Award, one Brit Award and four NAACP Image Awards. In 2012 Williams was honored with the ASCAP Golden Note Award for his "extraordinary career milestones records achieved as a songwriter, composer and artist".[2]

In 2014, Williams was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Original Song at the 86th Academy Awards for his song "Happy", part of Despicable Me 2's soundtrack. In 2017, he received a nomination for Best Picture for co-producing the film Hidden Figures. The film also gave Williams a nomination at the Golden Globe Awards for Best Original Score.
