Frances McDormand (2017)
“Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri”
Twenty years after winning for “Fargo,” Frances McDormand scored her second best-actress win with “Three Billboards,” playing an angry, take-charge woman seeking justice after her daughter’s rape/murder. McDormand swept early awards (Golden Globes, SAG Awards, BAFTAs, etc.) so her victory was not a surprise, but she proved a popular choice at the Oscars — even more so after her rousing acceptance speech.
