Two acting Oscars in different categories is a short list, and Zellweger is on it. She won Best Supporting Actress for Cold Mountain in 2004 and Best Actress for Judy in 2020, sixteen years apart, with a six-year gap in the middle when she was not making films at all. The comeback itself is the rarer achievement: no other performer has returned from that long an absence to take the lead actress prize. She also holds four Golden Globes across both comedy and drama categories, which reflects a range that awards bodies rarely reward in one person.
