Pixar actually has a LOT of awards under its belt - not just wins, but nominations too. I have decided here that my main focus would be on our most recognized awards here in North America - The Academy Awards and The Golden Globes. If you were ever curious about whether or not Pixar "took the award" that year, this simple page will tell you along with whatever film it lost to, if it was only nominated.
