Best Actress predictions change daily but where are we in regards to Frances McDormand's third Best Actress Oscars? Happening or not? I'm tentatively saying it will. That's where my brain is today at least. Frances would be only the seventh actor to manage three Oscars for acting in the 93 years of Academy history and become only the second woman to win three leading Oscars (after Katharine Hepburn).
The others who've won three acting statues:
Fargo (96), Three Billboards (17), Nomadland (20)
- Walter Brennan -Come and Get It (36), Kentucky (38), The Westerner (40) - all in supporting
- Ingrid Bergman -Gaslight (44), Anastasia (56), Murder on the Orient Express (74)
- Katharine Hepburn - Morning Glory (34), Guess Who... (67), Lion in Winter (68), On Golden Pond (81) - all in leading
- Jack Nicholson - One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (75), Terms of Endearment (83), As Good As It Gets (97)
- Meryl Streep - Kramer vs Kramer (79), Sophie's Choice (82), The Iron Lady (11)
- Daniel Day Lewis - My Left Foot (89), There Will Be Blood (07), Lincoln (12) - all in leading
COMMENT PARTY QUESTION: Removing all other performances and movies from your brain (I know it's difficult) how would you rank these six packages of performances?
COMMENT PARTY QUESTION 2: Are there any two-time winners not in the race this year that you could see winning a third?
