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.

The Pianist premiered at the 2002 Cannes Film Festival on 24 May 2002, where it won the Palme d'Or, and received a wide release during September of the same year.[2] The film was successful at the box office, earning over $120 million against its $35 million budget.[3] Rotten Tomatoes, a review aggregator, surveyed 189 reviews and judged 95% to be positive.[4] The film has been nominated for 100 awards, winning 47; Polanski's direction, Harwood's screenplay, and Brody's performance have received the most attention from award groups.

The Pianist received seven nominations at the 75th Academy Awards, including Best Picture, and it won three: Best Director (Polanski), Best Actor (Brody), and Best Adapted Screenplay (Harwood). Its other nominations were for Best Cinematography (Paweł Edelman), Best Costume Design (Anna B. Sheppard), and Best Film Editing (Hervé de Luze). At age 29, Brody became the youngest person to ever win Best Actor.[5] The film also received seven nominations at the 56th British Academy Film Awards, where it won for Best Film and Best Direction.

The Pianist became the most awarded film at the 28th César Awards with seven wins out of 10 nominations, receiving Best Film, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Cinematography, Best Music (Wojciech Kilar), Best Production Design (Allan Starski), and Best Sound (Jean-Marie Blondel, Gerard Hardy, and Dean Humphreys). The Pianist was also recognized by several other major organizations around the world, including the Czech Lion Awards (Czech Republic), the David di Donatello Awards (Italy), the Golden Eagle Awards (Russia), the Goya Awards (Spain), the Japan Academy Film Prize (Japan), and the Polish Film Awards (Poland).
