It's 7 days until Oscar nominations are announced and it's also International Women's Day so let's talk actresses. (Like we need an excuse, but just go with it). 7 women have been Oscar nominated exactly 7 times for their acting ... and these were their 7th (and final to date) nominations:
- INGRID BERGMAN Autumn Sonata (1978)
- CATE BLANCHETT Carol (2015)
- GLENN CLOSE The Wife (2018)
- JUDI DENCH Philomena (2013)
- JANE FONDA The Morning After (1986)
- GREER GARSON Sunrise at Campobello (1960)
- KATE WINSLET Steve Jobs (2015)
Give out a gold, silver, and bronze medal in the comments from these seven performances only!
Bergman and Garson have long since left us but the others are still working actresses! On March 15th when the nominations are announced it's possible that Glenn Close (Hillbilly Elegy) will depart this list with an eighth nomination (no woman has ever been nominated for acting eight times and not won the Oscar - Geraldine Page won on her 8th try, the longest it took any actress). Amy Adams (Hillbilly Elegy) and Ellen Burstyn (Pieces of a Woman) are both currently at six nominations so either could join this elite club a week from now.
