Frances McDormand could make history for women at the Oscars.
The 63-year-old actor has received raves for her performance in “Nomadland” from Chloé Zhao, landing her in contention for her sixth acting nomination after winning two best actress Oscars. McDormand is also one of the credited producers on the film and is poised to be a double nominee this year as a producer and an acting nominee, which would be the first for a woman in Academy Awards history.
“Nomadland” tells the story of Fern (McDormand), a woman who, during the Great Recession, decides to live as a modern-day nomad.
In the midst of another competitive best actress race, McDormand could join a list of just five performers who have won three acting Oscars: Ingrid Bergman, Walter Brennan, Daniel Day-Lewis, Jack Nicholson and Meryl Streep. Katherine Hepburn has won the most acting Oscars of all time with four.
