Note
  1. ^ Certain award groups do not simply award one winner. They recognize 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.

Gorillaz are a British virtual band created in 1998 by Damon Albarn of alternative rock band Blur, and Jamie Hewlett, co-creator of the comic book Tank Girl. While watching MTV, Hewlett came up with the idea to create the band, and later commented, "if you watch MTV for too long, it's a bit like hell – there's nothing of substance there. So we got this idea for a cartoon band, something that would be a comment on that."[1] Gorillaz is a virtual band represented by four cartoon characters: 2D, Murdoc, Noodle and Russel. They are used in promotional material such as album covers, posters, and in concerts, during which holographic versions of the characters are used. The band's music is a collaboration between various musicians; Albarn is the only permanent musical contributor.[2] Their music has been considered a mix of hip hop, electronica, dub and pop.[3] Gorillaz have released three studio albums, all on the Parlophone and Virgin record labels: Gorillaz (2001), Demon Days (2005),[4] and Plastic Beach (2010).

Gorillaz have received eight BRIT Award nominations: six in 2002 and two in 2006. In 2006, Gorillaz received their only Grammy Award, the Best Pop Collaboration with Vocals award for the song "Feel Good Inc." The band has received three nominations from the MTV Europe Music Awards, winning all three: Best Dance Act and Best Song for "Clint Eastwood" in 2001, and Best Group in 2005. At the MTV Video Music Awards, Gorillaz received both the Best Special Effects and Breakthrough Video awards for "Feel Good Inc." in 2005. Overall, Gorillaz have received seven awards from twenty five nominations.

In 2010, Gorillaz won the Band of the Year award at GQ Awards.
