Renée Zellweger has won Best Actress at the 2020 Academy Awards for her performance as legendary Hollywood icon Judy Garland in Rupert Goold’s Judy. Follow our complete winner’s list for an update on all the night’s victories.
After sweeping the Golden Globes, BAFTAs and SAG Awards, Zellweger was a lock for the night, and she sang right by Scarlett Johansson for Marriage Story, Cynthia Erivo for Harriet, Saoirse Ronan for Little Women, and Charlize Theron for Bombshell.
This is Zellweger’s first win for Best Actress after previously being nominated in this category for 2001’s Bridget Jones’s Diary and 2002’s Chicago. This is her second Oscar, however, following her win for Best Supporting Actress in 2003’s Cold Mountain.
Zellweger experienced quite a comeback in 2019. In addition to her award-winning role as Garland, she also top-lined Netflix’s thriller series, What/If. Looking ahead, the future is wide open for the two-time Oscar winner who has no current projects.
