We hear a lot about people who won their Oscars as a consolation prize, an overdue award, or a political trophy.

But which winners won the award for their best role in their best film?

Here are some I’d put forth:

Joan Crawford in Mildred Pierce

Vivien Leigh in Gone With The Wind and A Streetcar Named Desire

Who are your picks?

Katherine Hepburn in The Lion In Winter, saw it a few weeks ago and was mesmerized, the best performance i have ever seen, that is what every actor should desire to reach, that much greatness.

Thank you!

I know many people have issues with Hepburn’s wins, but, I will say, she gave one of the best performances ever in The Lion In Winter.

I think many people have issues with her 2nd win for Guess Who’s Coming To Dinner but The Lion In Winter is flawless and amongst the all-time best. Shouldn’t even have been a tie
