In late 2007, Barbra Streisand received the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences' 39th Grammy Award nomination for her work (see Live In Concert 2006 nomination below). She has received 8 Grammy Awards and two special career awards since Columbia released her first recordings in 1962. This page provides a complete listing of Barbra's Grammy Awards and nominations. The year indicated represents the year in which her recordings became eligible. It should be noted that the current eligibility period is October 1 through September 30. In each case below, nominations and awards were issued early the following year. The listing below only chronicles awards for which Barbra Streisand was specifically nominated, not awards for which her songwriters or project colleagues were nominated.

Regarding live performances on the annual Grammy Awards telecasts, Barbra Streisand has only performed once, February 27, 1980, with Neil Diamond for their double Grammy-nominated duet, "You Don't Bring Me Flowers." There has been one subsequent performance - February 25, 1992 - a very brief acappella "You'll Never Know" to close Barbra's Grammy Legend Award acceptance speech. Barbra's serious flu in February 1998 prevented her from dueting with Celine Dion at the Grammys. Streisand has served as a presenter a few times through the years - 1977, 1981, and 1986.
