Can we tell whether she received two nominations for BAFTAs etc. or two BAFTAs etc. ?

Is it technically ambiguous? Yes.

What do we interpret? She won the BAFTAs, Golden Globes, and the Olivier Award, but she didn't win the Oscars.

Thank you very much, Jutfrank,

That's exactly how I interpreted it, but, being obsessed with ambiguity, I thought maybe I better check. And lo and behold:

It is incredible, but...

Ah, okay, so she didn't win anything. She was just nominated. I guess that shows how important it is not to write ambiguous sentences.

This sentence, the second from the latter page you linked, is nice and clear:

Her major nominations include two Academy Awards, two British Academy Film Awards, three Golden Globe Awards, one Screen Actors guild Award, and one Laurence Olivier Award.
