House M.D. won five Primetime Emmy Awards during its television run. The series received substantial Emmy recognition across acting, writing, directing, and technical categories, even though it did not win the Outstanding Drama Series award.
The show’s Emmy wins included Hugh Laurie’s performance, the writing of the episode “Three Stories,” and technical achievements. “Three Stories” won Outstanding Writing for a Drama Series at the 2005 ceremony, while Laurie’s performance earned major nominations and two Golden Globe wins.
Award totals can vary when sources combine Primetime Emmy Awards with Creative Arts Emmy Awards, nominations, or other television honors. The commonly cited total for the series is five Primetime Emmy wins and many more nominations.
The number should also be distinguished from the Golden Globe Awards won by Hugh Laurie personally for playing Gregory House. Emmy recognition covered the program and its contributors, while the Golden Globes mentioned here were acting awards for Laurie.
