Golden Globe Award for Best Actress – Motion Picture – Drama (Golden Globe Awards)

Golden Globe Awards

The Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in a Motion Picture â€“ Drama was first awarded by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association as a separate category in 1951. Previously, there was a single award for "Best Actress in a Motion Picture" but the splitting allowed for recognition of it and the Best Actress â€“ Musical or Comedy. The formal title has varied since its inception. In 2005, it was officially called: "Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture â€“ Drama". As of 2013, the wording is "Best Actress in a Motion Picture â€“ Drama". Notes: "â€ " indicates an Academy Award-winning performance. â€¡ indicates an Academy Award nomination. "Â§" indicates a Golden Globe Award-winning performance that was not nominated for an Academy Award.
