About Best Actress
Best Actress - photo wallpapers: The Academy Award for Best Performance by an Actress in a Leading Role is one of the awards given to actresses working in the motion picture industry by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences; nominations are made by Academy members who are actors and actresses. The winners are chosen by the Academy membership as a whole. Following the Academy's practice, the films below are listed by release year: for example, the Oscar for "Best Actress in 1999" was announced during the award ceremony held in 2000. Winners are listed first, followed by the other nominees. In the first three years the awards existed, individuals such as actors, directors and cinematographers were nominated as the best in their category and then all of their work during the qualifying period (as many as three films in some cases) was listed after the award.

The next year, this unwieldy and confusing system was replaced by the modern system in which an actor or other crew member is nominated for a single specific film. Katharine Hepburn, with four wins, has more Best Actress Awards than any other actress. Eleven women have won two Best Actress Awards; in chronological order, they are Luise Rainer, Bette Davis, Olivia de Havilland, Vivien Leigh, Ingrid Bergman, Elizabeth Taylor, Glenda Jackson, Jane Fonda, Sally Field, Jodie Foster, and Hilary Swank. Only two actresses have won this award in consecutive years: Luise Rainer (1936 and 1937) and Katharine Hepburn (1967 and 1968). Katharine Hepburn holds the record in the Best Actress category with 12 nominations. Meryl Streep has been nominated 11 times for Best Actress as well as 3 times for Best Supporting Actress, which makes her the overall most nominated actress. There has been only one tie in the history of this category. Th...
