Grand Theft Auto V (Xbox One)

EDIT: 03/27/2017
As mentioned in the comments, there are some new ways to work on some awards. Thanks for the info!

"The Special Vehicle stunt series makes these awards...

Airborne - land jumps over 300 feet in a road vehicle [25]
Flippin' Hell - perform vehicle flips [10]
Spinderella - spin your vehicle [5]

...incredibly easy to get. If you're using the Voltic, barrel roll on every huge jump. It's very easy to land 5 barrel rolls for the big jumps and you get bonus RP for landing it.

If you're racing with a Ruiner, flip or barrel roll to your heart's content. Just open that 'chute before you hit the ground to get RP and the turns that count towards Spinderella/Flippin' Hell."

UplandParasite8 pointed out that the awards added by the heist addon will count towards this achievement as well. I have not started it yet so I can't tell anything about those awards but if you see some easy ones you can probably take those as well

Calex dEUs hinted at the following 2 awards from the heists:
2 easy ones from heists are the one for simply finishing the 2 player Fleeca Heist and for doing it's finale with no damage which is easy if you are the driver and just hold a during the get away but the car is armored anyway, the driller has a bit more risk as he's open between the bank doors and the getaway car.

For this achievement you need to get 30 platinum awards in GTA online. This might sounds like a really hard task but it is actually not that bad since there are 80+ awards in total in the game and many of them just have a platinum level which means you do not need to get through bronze, silver and gold first. If you boost some of them with friends this achievement really is simply a bit time consuming but nothing more. So that's a good thing right?

The awards are subdivided in different categories and you can check you progress in the pause menu by going to stats --> awards. Some of the awards are tied to other achievements. I will put those in bold letters below.

In addition to this I want to quote the tips mentioned by A Gamer X360 in his solution for this achievement in the 360 version of GTA 5:

"Boosting tips:

- in many cases you can grind multiple awards at the same time when with 2 people -- example: In A Class Of Your Own, Penetrate From Behind, Dust Maker, Every Race, Veteran Racer, and The Hustler when bosting race wins. Head Banger, The Widow Maker, 3 For 1, Streaker (turns getting 3 kills each), Death Toll, Killstreaker, The Equalizer and Pistol Whipped (or any other single weapon) while boosting Deathmatch wins.

- most Victory, Combat and Weapons awards, War Pig, Veteran Racer, The Hustler: find boosting partner(s) and take turns - 44 easy Platinums for 2 people, plus 6 more for 4 people.

- Survivor, Nick Of Time, Point Break, Stay On Target, Clear Out, Birdies, Lapping It Up, Snappy Dresser, Hairy Encounters, Proud Gun Owner (need Rank 120), The Human Canvas (need Head Banger Platinum or Beach Bum DLC), Armed Robber, No Claims Bonus (rubberband driving in circles very slow at airport for 30 minutes), Mile High Club (rubberband right trigger while AFK x5), Suped Up (level and win races to unlock), Airborne (same stunt jump 25 times works, see story mode maps for 50 possible locations), Unirider (runway or bridges, do in race with traffic turned off) - 18 easy solo Platinums.

- Flippin' Hell, Spinderella - drive of mountain peak and get lucky bounces, or have someone with Cargobob drop you from height.

- Nick Of Time, Point Break (open parachute ASAP and hold left stick back for slow decent), Stay On Target can be done in parachute races on your own, even ignoring the waypoints. Only Stay On Target requires that you hit the end target. The HALO parachuting race at the airport is great for all of these.

- Checking Out, Hole In One and Salvaged are luck, but you may be able to get them while grinding Throwback King, Birdies, Crate Chaser.

- Crate Chaser (Rank 30?), Full Metal Jacket, The Exporter will pop up as you cruse around the open world, roughly 1 of each per game day.

- Vehicle Thief, Sky High are easy to do on many phone-jobs because there is no police heat and no time limit - just don't do the game objective and keep jacking and destroying cars (obviously, being a higher level with access to explosive weapons is best) until you are low on ammo, then finish the job.

- The Hustler will require that the losing party also bet or the bets are canceled at race launch. Because of how the odds are calculated, the quickest way to boost this award is to have the winner bet only $100 on himself and the loser bets $2500 on himself (20:1 odds for winner). Winner will get $2k towards the $50k needed (i.e. can get this in 25 races). However, with this method there is an overall loss of $500 on bets per pair of races. Otherwise winner bets $2500 and loser bets $100 on themselfs, and winner gets $1000 towards the award (i.e. twice as many races needed), and a net gain of $900 per pair of races.

Possible Boosting Options (really depends on what you prefer to grind):

- 22 solo: Survivor (Unnatural Selection acheivment), Nick Of Time, Point Break, Stay On Target, Clear Out, Birdies, Lapping It Up, Crate Chaser, Snappy Dresser, Hairy Encounters, The Human Canvas, Vehicle Thief, Full Metal Jacket, Armed Robber (Stick Up Kid achievement), Sky High, The Exporter, No Claims Bonus, Mile High Club, Airborne, Flippin' Hell, Spinderella, Unirider.

- 7 from 2 people sporting: Over The Top, Throwback King, The Swing King, Crack Shot, Duck and Cover, Granny and The Marksman (plus Checking Out and Hole In One if you get lucky)

- 7 from 2 people races (25 races per person): The Champion, In A Class Of Your Own, Penetrate From Behind, Dust Maker, Veteran Racer (pick different maps until you both have it), and The Hustler (Downtown Underground motorcycle race is fast with good exp/money once you both have Veteran Racer).

- 9 from 2 people Deathmatch (25 wins per person): The Slayer, War Pig (pick different maps until you both have it), Head Banger, Death Toll, 3 For 1, Streaker, Killstreaker, The Equalizer and Pistol Whipped.

- 4 from a 5 set Tennis game (one person wins every point in first 3 sets, repeat for 2nd person): Stroke Master, Out Of Five, Straight Sets, Ace.

- 3 from selecting various achievements/modes/vehicles or while in free world with 2 people: Road Rage (killing same person x3 works), All Rounder (Numero Uno achievement), Smoke 'Em Out (Clean Sweep achievement), The Bounty Hunter, The Dictator (Backseat Driver achievement)."
