Note ↑ 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.

Pulp Fiction is a 1994 American crime film written and directed by Quentin Tarantino, who conceived it with Roger Avary, for A Band Apart and Jersey Films. It stars an ensemble cast consisting of John Travolta, Samuel L. Jackson, Uma Thurman, Harvey Keitel, Tim Roth, Amanda Plummer, Maria de Medeiros, Ving Rhames, Eric Stoltz, Rosanna Arquette, Christopher Walken, and Bruce Willis. The plot is told out of chronological order and features three main interrelated stories with different protagonists: Vincent Vega (Travolta), a hitman; Butch Coolidge (Willis), a prizefighter; and Jules Winnfield (Jackson), Vincent's business partner. The film was produced by Lawrence Bender, shot with cinematographer Andrzej Sekuła, and edited by Sally Menke on an $8 million production budget. It was theatrically released by Miramax on October 14, 1994, and was a commercial success, grossing $213.9 million worldwide.

At the 67th Academy Awards, Pulp Fiction nominated in seven categories and won Best Screenplay Written Directly for the Screen (Quentin Tarantino and Roger Avary). At the 52nd Golden Globe Awards it received six nominations and won Best Screenplay – Motion Picture. At the 48th British Academy Film Awards it received nine nominations and won two, including those for Best Original Screenplay and Best Supporting Actor (Samuel L. Jackson).
