Last night's win by Renée Zellweger for her performance in Judy marks her third individual SAG award. She has won previously for Chicago (2002) and Cold Mountain (2003). On the film side she matches Daniel Day Lewis as the two most lauded actors by the Screen Actors Guild. Day Lewis won his awards for Gangs of New York (2002), There Will Be Blood (2007) and Lincoln (2012).

There are five other actresses who are right behind Zellweger with two individual film awards. And none of them are called Meryl Streep. Steeep has two as well though one is for TV. She won for Doubt (2008) and Angels in America (2003). These are the actresses who could match or leapfrog Zellweger soon...

Helen Mirren, won for Gosford Park (2001) and The Queen (2006)

Kate Winslet, won for Sense and Sensibility (1995) and The Reader (2008)

Cate Blanchett, won for The Aviator (2004) and Blue Jasmine (2013)

Viola Davis, won for The Help (2011) and Fences (2016)

Frances McDormand, won for Fargo (1996) and Three Billboards Outside Ebbing Missouri (2017)

We did not factor in winners from ensembles, though most of these actresses have won at least one there too. Zellweger for Chicago, Mirren for Gosford Park, Blanchett for The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (2003), Davis for The Help and McDormand for Three Billboards.

What do you think of Zellweger's SAG track record?
