Ricky Gervais's trophy cabinet reflects his influence on modern comedy. He is one of the few comedians to have won major awards on both sides of the Atlantic, with BAFTAs, Golden Globes, and Emmys to his name. His five Golden Globe hosting gigs, while not awards, are a measure of his standing in Hollywood, as he was repeatedly invited to take on the risky role of roasting the industry's elite. His inclusion in Time magazine's 100 Most Influential People list in 2010 recognized his cultural impact beyond just entertainment.

AwardsRicky Gervais has won seven British Academy Television Awards, five Golden Globe Awards, and two Primetime Emmy Awards. His BAFTA wins include Best Comedy Programme for The Office and Best Comedy Performance for both The Office and Extras. His Golden Globe wins include Best Actor in a Television Series – Musical or Comedy for The Office (2004) and After Life (2020). His Emmy wins came for The Office in 2006 and Extras in 2007.
