↑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.

↑Though it is not uncommon for American movies to be released in Japan later than in North America, there was uncertainty as to whether Oppenheimer would get a release date at all, with news outlets noting the sensitive nature of the film's subject matter due to the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.[12][13][14]Toho-Towa, the largest distributor of Hollywood films in Japan, opted not to release Oppenheimer and Bitters End only decided to do so "following months of thoughtful dialogue associated with the subject matter and acknowledging the particular sensitivity for us Japanese",[15] which also took into account backlash against the Barbenheimer phenomenon.[14][16]
