As a narrative device, giving your character a real-life award or military decoration is often a quick way to establish their credentials for smarts, skills, or badassery. It may also be a way to Call-Back to a moment of greatness earlier in the work. Common choices include a Nobel Prize for the intellectuals, Pulitzer Prize for the Intrepid Reporter, a country-appropriate medal of honor for military personnel, the Tony/Oscar/Grammy/Emmy for performers, and Olympic medals for athletes. See also Artistic License – Awards for outright mistakes in the portrayal of awards. May overlap with Remember When You Blew Up a Sun?. In Speculative Fiction this can lead to Famous, Famous, Fictional if the character has won more than a few. Examples |

In Cujo, Gary Pervier served in World War II, where he had single-handedly taken a German pillbox, and was hit by six bullets. For this, he was awarded the Distinguished Service Cross. After the war, Gary became an alcoholic and developed a nihilistic outlook on life, and he eventually had the medal made into an ashtray. | |

CSI: NY has a few examples. Det. Mac Taylor, a former Marine, has all of his commendation awards, including a Silver Star, displayed in his office at the Crime Lab. He also wears a Detective Bureau lapel pin just like those given to highly decorated long-term NYPD detectives. In "The 34th Floor," Det. Lindsay Messer is awarded the NYPD's Combat Cross for bravery in facing down and taking out an in-universe serial killer who had been around for approximately four seasons. In the episode following their 9/11 Tribute, "Indelible" where Mac participated in the dedication of the Brooklyn Wall of Remembrance honoring the first responders who died in the rescue efforts, Mac is shown setting up a plaque he received as a "thank you" for his efforts with the project. Aside from the two men's names, it is an exact replica of the one Gary Sinise received for his real-life assistance. |

The Simpsons: The Be Sharps win a Grammy for their barbershop quartet album. Subverted in that the Running Gag which follows once the winning bliss ends is that everybody (writers included, as mentioned on a quick disclaimer) thinks that the Grammys are an utterly worthless prize. When Homer becomes a blogger by the pen name "Mr. X", his pseudonym is awarded a Pulitzer for unmasking political corruption in Springfield. However, upon finding out that the prize money will go to charity since there's no indication of the writer's identity, Homer outs himself for the payoff. In "Behind the Laughter", the Simpsons win Grammys for their mega platinum hits Simpsons Boogie, Lovely to Love Your Lovin', and Simpsons Christmas Boogie (the latter winning "Best Hardcore Thrash Metal"). In the "Frinkenstein" part of "Treehouse of Horror XIV", Professor Frink wins a Nobel Prize for his hammer with a screwdriver on the other end. ("It was a slow year.") With this invention decreasing the amount of time wasted switching tools, he reanimated his shark-bitten father's corpse, who shows up to the ceremony. Frink Sr. then went "smorgasbord on these poindexters", popping open the skulls of the other scientists there and lumping their brains on top of his own. |

Looney Tunes: In the 1944 short "What's Cookin' Doc?", Bugs Bunny believes he's a shoo-in for Best Actor at the Oscars, but James Cagney wins it instead, causing Bugs to have a meltdown. He ends up getting a Booby Prize Oscar, shaped like him. Bugs is awarded a Nobel Prize in The Looney Tunes Show episode "The Shelf". Subverted when this genius bunny succeeds in demolishing his entire house while building a shelf to display his award. Bugs argues with the humorless Kate Houghton during Looney Tunes: Back in Action about rehiring Daffy Duck, and bolsters his argument with four Oscar statuettes and a chunk of granite with his Walk of Fame star on it. For the record, four Warner Brothers cartoons have won an Oscar, but only one went to a Bugs Bunny cartoon" "Knighty Knight Bugs." Bugs Bunny also has an actual star on the Walk of Fame. Related, an episode of Tiny Toon Adventures has Bugs winning the "Hollywood Shloscar" for "Knighty Knight Bugs", while a fictional cartoon elephant (based on Silly Sidney) who was nominated that year decides to exact revenge on him. At the end of the short "Super-Rabbit," Bugs becomes a Marine. In real life, the U.S. Marine Corps were so thrilled by that ending that they actually inducted Bugs into the force as a private, complete with dogtags; he was regularly promoted until the end of World War II, where he was officially "discharged" with the rank of Master Sergeant. Bugs has a humorous lampshade in "The Wabbit Who Came To Supper," where he interrupts his faux death scene and says to us "Hey...dis scene oughta get me the Academy Award!" |

The real Bruno Alexander, who is starring As Himself, did actually win said award; as part of the show's Adam Westing approach, his fictional counterpart is much less successful. The real Jonas Nay is an actual recipient of the award as well, but in reality won it several years earlier than his character did. | |

The group of futurists in "Tomorrow Town" is led by two Hugo Award winners. The story even specifies the years and categories: Varno Zhoule won Best Short Story 1957 and Best Novelette 1958, and Georgie Gewell won Best Fan Editor 1958. (In real life, the Hugo Award categories were not standardised until the 1960s, and those categories were not awarded in those years.) Probably the only example of this trope in which a fictional character is bludgeoned to death with his own real award. | |

Stargate SG-1 In "Secrets" Jack and Sam are each awarded the Air Medal for destroying two of Apophis's motherships that tried to invade Earth at the season 1/season 2 changeover. (Daniel and Teal'c were there, too, but they're civilians and aren't eligible.) The cover story is that they got the medal for their work in "deep-space satellite telemetry" (which Sam's father Gen. Jacob Carter rightly calls BS on, seeing as how the Air Medal is awarded for air missions in combat zones). A flashback in "Avalon, Part 1" establishes new SG-1 CO Cameron Mitchell as a Medal of Honor recipient (erroneously referring to it as the Congressional Medal of Honor), which he received after he was shot down while covering SG-1 in an F-302 back in "Lost City, Part 2": he brought down an attacking al'kesh despite the fact he'd already been hit twice and his Guy in Back killed. |

Seinfeld. Kramer is accidentally whisked on stage during a Tony's ceremony, where he receives one with the cast and crew of the fictional Broadway musical, Scarsdale Surprise. The producers eventually discover the error, and make a deal with him that he can keep the Tony if he'll fire Raquel Welch, because they're too afraid to do it themselves. After being brutally attacked, Kramer's Tony is smashed to pieces. | |

M*A*S*H: Used basically the same way twice. In one episode, the insufferable and obnoxious Major Frank Burns slips and injures his back in a "normal" accident on the base which requires routine intervention. He browbeats Colonel Henry into accepting the logic that, as the 4077 M*A*S*H* is officially a front-line military hospital which shares front-line perils like occasional shelling and sniping, his "wound" was sustained in the front lines, and therefore merits a Purple Heart. Henry, grudgingly, gives in and writes the citation. Meanwhile, Hawkeye and Trapper are dealing with a real American hero: a fifteen-year-old boy who lied about his age to enlist in the Marines. Hawkeye wrestles with the ethical dilemma about breaching a patient's confidence, but exposes the youth to the Military Police. He is to be discharged from the Marines and sent home to his parents. Hawkeye and Trapper sweeten the pill by stealing Frank's medal and re-presenting it to a soldier who really was wounded in combat. In another episode, Frank claims a Purple Heart because when he cracked open his breakfast egg some of the eggshell got in his eye. The official medical records read "shell fragment" and again, since they're a frontline unit, it counts as a war wound. Hawkeye and BJ steal Frank's Purple Heart medal and give it to a Korean baby born at the hospital whose mother had a harrowing time getting to the unit before she gave birth. Frank witnesses this presentation and, in a Pet the Dog moment, doesn't actually seem to mind, only remarking to B.J. that he really wants to earn one himself. Potter reveals he received the Good Conduct Medal while he was an enlisted soldier. While it is reserved for enlisted soldiers only, it was first awarded in 1941 and the retroactive dates only go back to 1940. However, since Potter is noted to have served in World War II, which ended in 1945, this is not out of the realm of possibility. Potter has BJ awarded the Bronze Star for helping a chopper escape while under fire. However, it's unlikely he knew that BJ was forced to cut a rope to a wounded soldier to escape, abandoning him to death or capture. BJ views it as a Medal of Dishonor and gives it another wounded soldier. In his first episode, Potter confides to Hawkeye that he got his Purple Heart when the moonshine still in his tent exploded. |

Being a show involving the military, it's no surprise that NCIS would feature military awards. Gibbs himself earned a Silver Star when he was with the Marine Corps, and his team once crossed paths with a Medal of Honor recipient. The plot of the season 17 finale "The Arizona" centers on the actions of a 95-year-old man who claims he was stationed aboard the USS Arizona during the attack on Pearl Harbor, and wants the Navy to guarantee his remains will be interned at the memorial dedicated to the ship upon his death. |

In The Jungle Book (1967), Colonel Hathi claims to have gotten the Victoria Cross while serving in the British army. This is unlikely, considering he's an elephant.note It is just possible that Hathi, who is terminally confused, may actually mean the Dickin Medal, which is the equivalent of a VC for animals. In Real Life, the Dickin Medal has never been awarded to an elephant and was only instituted in 1947, while The Jungle Book is probably set in the 1880s. | |

The Good Place: Tahani's improbably successful sister Kamilah has (at least) an Olympic gold medal, a BAFTA, and a Grammy. Tahani actually met her demise while crashing Kamilah's party following her induction into the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame. We're specifically told that the Hall waived their "twenty-five years in music" requirement to induct Kamilah right away. | |

In Flying Colours, while disguising Hornblower as a Dutch customs officer, the Comte de Graçay gives him his late son's Legion of Honour, saying that no one achieves the rank of colonel in Bonapartist France without receiving the Legion of Honour. The Comte de Graçay mentions that he does not care about a trinket of the tyrant, but he would like to have a memento of his son returned when most convenient. At the end of that novel, Hornblower becomes a Knight of the Order of the Bath; as the story is set when that order only had one class, he becomes Sir Horatio Hornblower, KB. | |

Jonah Jameson for essentially selling him pictures of himself, but no word if his prize was in danger of being revoked as well. Ben Urich, another reporter for The Daily Bugle, is sometimes cited as having also won a Pulitzer. |

He notes that it's the only thing he would get that his wife Samantha (who retired from sports to concentrate on science) wouldn't. Ming's documentary Gest8 was nominated for an Oscar. She didn't win, but she's unbothered by that because the documentary was about her being pregnant with her son Clay, whom she regarded as the bigger prize. |

He declined by saying that peace is a goal that must be continuously striven for and such a worthy goal does not need prizes. By this point in the film he's been revealed as the current leader of HYDRA, the perpetrators of many past acts of violence and terrorism, and Nick Fury is suitably disgusted when he mentions the Nobel offer to Captain America and Black Widow. | |

Bugs argues with the humorless Kate Houghton during Looney Tunes: Back in Action about rehiring Daffy Duck, and bolsters his argument with four Oscar statuettes and a chunk of granite with his Walk of Fame star on it. For the record, four Warner Brothers cartoons have won an Oscar, but only one went to a Bugs Bunny cartoon" "Knighty Knight Bugs." Bugs Bunny also has an actual star on the Walk of Fame. Related, an episode of Tiny Toon Adventures has Bugs winning the "Hollywood Shloscar" for "Knighty Knight Bugs", while a fictional cartoon elephant (based on Silly Sidney) who was nominated that year decides to exact revenge on him. |

In The Fly (1986), Seth Brundle almost won the Nobel Prize for Physics at the age of 20 as the leader of "the F32 team". Interestingly, his eventual love interest Veronica only learns about this from her editor/ex-lover Stathis (who's having research done on Seth out of jealousy). Later on, as Seth undergoes a Slow Transformation into a Half-Human Hybrid due to an accident involving his teleporter, he notes that "I'm becoming 'Brundlefly'. Don't you think that's worth a Nobel Prize or two?" | |

Mighty Mouse testifies in court on his own behalf regarding the disappearance of Scrappy Mouse ("Anatomy of a Milquetoast"). In taking the oath, he holds a gold statue with ACT engraved on it. Mighty Mouse: The New Adventures had been cited as a quality show by the committee Action for Children's Television. | |

Quantico cites Ryan Booth, a former Marine, as a Bronze Star recipient. Given that he's not actually an FBI cadet but rather a full-fledged agent undercover, it's unclear whether he actually received it. | |

Sherlock Holmes got a Légion d'honneur (the highest civilian order of merit in France) for one of the cases Watson doesn't include in his memoirs - the capture of 'Huret, the Boulevard assassin'. A few years later he was offered a knighthood, but refused it. The details of that case remain a secret. | |

Jay Sherman, the title character of The Critic, already a Pulitzer winner, is given another Pulitzer for criticism in one episode. In his guest appearance in ''The Simpsons", he's also shown to have won a People's Choice Award, five Golden Globes, and an Emmy. |

In Friends, Ross is taken aback to learn that, until him, his scientist girlfriend Charlie has only dated Nobel Prize winners. One of them appears in a later episode and wins her back (a case of Artistic License – Awards, since the man is a paleontologist, and there's no Nobel Prize in that field). | |

Not quite a formal award, but in the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "All Good Things..." the version of Data from 25 years in the future holds the Lucasian Chair of Mathematics at Cambridge. This post has been held by such real-world luminaries as Isaac Newton, Stephen Hawking, and Charles Babbage. | |
