Right now, the best actress category is shaping up like a triangle of frontrunners, headed by annette bening for being julia and hilary swank for million dollar baby, with imelda staunton as the dark horse for vera drake. for those with short memory, here's a reconstruction of the 1999 actress race For those desperately hoping that ryan murphy will bring annette bening emmy glory for her role on the second season of american crime story, think again Hilary swank has been cast in the new fx limited series, trust, which will be helmed by simon beaufoy and danny boyle. Annette bening is not a really lucky lady in terms of oscar wins She came incredibly close to winning the golden boy not less than three times (well, it might be four if we count the grifters as well) and she was upstaged by the same person twice There was enough sentiment both times to reward bening, she was the more acclaimed and respected actress, a true diva.
