* Nobel Prizes: The Nobel Prize committee can and does award prizes posthumously. Notably, Ralph Steinman won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 2011, three days after his death.
* Academy Awards (Oscars): While it is rare, there have been cases of actors winning Oscars posthumously. For example, Peter Finch won Best Actor in 1976 for his role in "Network" after he passed away during filming.
* Grammy Awards: The Recording Academy, which awards the Grammys, has a rule that allows for posthumous nominations and wins. For example, Prince won the Grammy for Album of the Year in 2017 for "Purple Rain" posthumously.
* Other Awards: Many other prestigious awards, including Pulitzer Prizes, Tony Awards, and even Golden Globes, can be awarded posthumously.
Important Note: Awards are typically awarded for accomplishments during a person's lifetime, so posthumous awards are usually reserved for significant achievements that were recognized during the individual's lifetime.
