Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in a Motion Picture -- Drama - wikipedia Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in a Motion Picture -- Drama Golden Globe for Best Actress in a Motion Picture -- Drama Awarded for Best Performance by a Leading Actress in a Drama Location United States Presented by Hollywood Foreign Press Association Currently held by Frances McDormand for Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri ( 2017 ) Website http://www.goldenglobes.com/ The Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in a Motion Picture -- 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 -- Comedy or Musical. The formal title has varied since its inception. In 2005, it was officially called `` Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture -- Drama ''. As of 2013, the wording is `` Best Actress in a Motion Picture -- Drama ''. It is notable for being the category in which the only three - way tie in Golden Globe history occurred, when Jodie Foster, Shirley MacLaine, and Sigourney Weaver all won the award in 1989 at the 46th Golden Globe Awards. Notes : `` † '' indicates an Academy Award - winning performance. `` ‡ '' indicates an Academy Award - nomination. `` § '' indicates a Golden Globe Award - winning performance that was not nominated for an Academy Award.
