Like the male list, the majority of the movies featured in the above list I have never watched myself.

In no particular order of my own list:

Sandra Bullock in The Blind Side

Kate Winslet in Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

Cate Blanchett in Blue Jasmine

Jessica Chastain in Zero Dark Thirty

Halle Berry in Monster's Ball

Jennifer Jason Leigh in Anomalisa

Jennifer Lawrence in Winter's Bone

Elizabeth Olsen in Martha, Marcy May, Marlene

Lupita Nyong'o in 12 Years A Slave

Only injecting this because I feel that only screaming, mentally unwell, and crying type roles in 'serious' films are usually considered for these lists but I think being fun and believable while telling a story in an ENTERTAINING manner (eg Julie Andrews in Sound of Music) is probably more difficult, as Shakespeare said about the jester/fool's role.

Reason being is I was in an after school Improv Club and noticed the light-hearted but believable style was not easy for people to do, inc me.

In fact I was THE worst at acting, though ppl in that school were too nice to say.

But the ONE thing I did well and that people praised me for, was a dramatic, serious depiction. But found that super easy...

I really liked Angela Bassett in "What's Love Got To Do With It".
