Best Oscar-Winning Performance by an Actress (The 2000s)

[Caelin Cripps]

#1203389420

Since we are all quarantined and mostly liked bored, I thought it might be fun to rank each Oscar-winning performance by an actress from the last three decades. This is the 2000s version and I have included the 1990s and 2010s in separate threads. Have fun and continue staying safe! 🙂
