    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.

Bong Joon Ho is a South Korean filmmaker. He has received several accolades including three Academy Awards, two BAFTA Awards and the Cannes Film Festival's Palme d'Or as well as nominations for two Golden Globe Awards.

Joon-ho won the three competitive Academy Awards for Best Picture, Best Director and Best Original Screenplay for his dark comedy satire Parasite (2019). While the film received the Academy Award for Best International Feature Film, the statue isn't awarded to a certain individual, although it is accepted by the winning film's director(s) on stage. The country as a whole is nominated and eventually wins the award.

He received the Cannes Film Festival's top prize the Palme d'Or for Parasite at the 2019 Cannes Film Festival and previously competed with his science-fiction adventure comedy Okja at the 2017 Cannes Film Festival. He received two BAFTA Awards, for Best Original Screenplay and for Best Film Not in the English Language for Parasite at the 73rd British Academy Film Awards.
