  • Nightwish is a band from Kitee, Finland, formed in 1996 by songwriter/keyboardist Tuomas Holopainen, guitarist Emppu Vuorinen, and former vocalist Tarja Turunen. Although Nightwish has been prominent in their home country since the release of their first single, “The Carpenter” (1997) and debut album Angels Fall First, they did not achieve worldwide fame until the release of the albums Oceanborn, Wishmaster and Century Child, which were released in 1998, 2000 and 2002 respectively. Their 2004 album, Once, which has sold more than 1.3 million copies, led to Nightwish video clips being shown on MTV in the United States and inclusion of their music in US movie soundtracks. Their biggest US hit single, “Wish I Had an Angel” (2004), made it onto three US film soundtracks as a means to promote their North American tour. The band produced three more singles and two music videos for the album, as well as “Sleeping Sun”, from the 2005 “best of” compilation album, Highest Hopes, prior to vocalist Tarja Turunen’s dismissal. In May 2007, former Alyson Avenue frontwoman, Anette Olzon, was revealed as Turunen’s replacement, and in the autumn, the band released a new album - Dark Passion Play, which has sold more than 2.0 million copies. The supporting tour started on October 6, 2007 and ended on September 19, 2009. A new E.P./live album, Made in Hong Kong (And in Various Other Places), was released in March 2009 as a MCD/DVD. Nightwish has received eleven awards from both the Emma-gaala Awards, from thirteen nominations, and one Echo Awards from two nominations. Nightwish has also received 2 nominations from the Metal Hammer Golden God Awards but has not received an award; Nightwish already won awards from MTV Europe Music Awards and from World Music Awards.

  • Esta é a lista de prêmios e indicações recebidos por Nightwish, uma banda finlandesa de metal sinfônico. O grupo conquistou diversos prêmios durante a sua carreira, e é considerada uma das maiores bandas de toda a Europa e uma das maiores bandas de metal sinfônico do mundo. Originalmente formado por Tuomas Holopainen, Emppu Vuorinen e Tarja Turunen, o Nightwish fez seu primeiro lançamento, uma fita demo, em dezembro de 1996. O álbum de estreia, Angels Fall First, veio em novembro de 1997, já com o baterista Jukka Nevalainen. O segundo álbum, Oceanborn, saiu em 1998, trazendo o baixista Sami Vänskä, e concedeu à banda o prêmio de "Revelação do Ano" na premiação finlandesa The Mighty Metal Music Awards. Em 2001, a banda foi indicada na categoria "Melhor Grupo de Rock/Metal" no Echo Awards, mas acabou perdendo para o Guano Apes, uma banda alemã. O quarto álbum, Century Child, marcou a entrada do novo baixista, Marco Hietala, e a estreia da banda no Emma Awards, uma das premiações europeias de maior prestígio; a banda concorreu em três categorias e venceu duas. No ano de 2005 eles fizeram sucesso no Emma, com o álbum Once, pois venceram em todas as quatro categorias que participaram. Em 2006, quando a banda estava em pausa, eles ganharam prêmios ainda assim, uma vez que o videoclipe de "Sleeping Sun" foi eleito o vídeo do ano na premiação finlandesa de vídeos Muuvi Awards. Dark Passion Play, o sexto álbum do Nightwish, trouxe consigo a nova vocalista do grupo, Anette Olzon, e foi o disco de maior sucesso da banda até então. Em 2007, a banda venceu no Gold e no World Music Awards, e concorreu também no europeu Metal Storm Awards, vencendo duas das quatro categorias em que esteve. Em 2008, a banda voltou ao Echo vencendo na categoria "Melhor Grupo Internacional", derrotando artistas como Marilyn Manson e Within Temptation. A banda também voltou ao Emma em cinco categorias, não ganhando apenas o prêmio de "Música do Ano", e foi ainda uma das atrações principais do MTV Europe Music Awards. (pt)
