Best Actress Oscar-Winners Since 2000, Ranked Worst to Best

Film

Unlike the Best Actor champs of the past 20 years, where Sean Penn and Daniel Day-Lewis have both won twice, the Best Actress field features no two-time recipients. Instead, this category has served up a pretty decent rundown of Hollywood’s current acting royalty, including Helen Mirren, Cate Blanchett, Olivia Colman, Nicole Kidman, Marion Cotillard — and even a few Americans here and there.

What’s funny, however, is that our finest actresses have rarely won for their finest roles lately, which makes our ranking of this century’s Best Actress victors especially challenging. But we set aside a performer’s body of work in determining our list, focusing instead on the specific role. Consequently, this will probably be the only ranking of great actresses on the Web that puts Meryl dead last. (Please know that you’re first in our hearts, Ms. Streep, especially after that kick-ass Golden Globes speech in 2017).

So without further ado — and in honor of the 93rd annual Academy Awards airing on April 25th — our breakdown of the 21st century’s Best Actress Oscar-Winners to date, from worst to best.
