How Many Awards Has Dakota Fanning Won And What Were They For?

Following her smashing debut on the awards circuit with "I Am Sam" in 2002, Dakota Fanning began working with one A-list actor after the next, including Denzel Washington in the 2004 crime thriller "Man on Fire." Not only did the performer earn a best young actress nomination from the likes of the Critics' Choice Awards, but 19 years later, she joined "The Equalizer 3," where she was overjoyed to be working with Washington again.

While Fanning didn't capture any awards for her work on "Man on Fire," she earned major notices for her role opposite Tom Cruise in director Steven Spielberg's 2005 remake of the classic sci-fi action-adventure, "War of the Worlds." Fanning won three awards for her portrayal of Rachel Ferrier, the estranged daughter of Ray Ferrier (Cruise). In 2006, the Critics' Choice Awards named Fanning best young actor-actress, while the Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror Films, USA, awarded her the best performance by a younger actor trophy. Rounding out her wins for "War of the Worlds" was a youth in film award from the Las Vegas Film Critics Society.

The ShoWest Convention (now known as CinemaCon) made Fanning the organization's supporting actress of the year winner in 2006 but did not cite a specific film. Also in 2006, Fanning took home the Young Artist Awards' best performance in a feature film (comedy or drama) — leading young actress for the family drama "Dreamer."
