caption_attribution_description: English: Photo of Marilyn Monroe from the November 1953 issue of Modern Screen. Note this is a smaller, better quality copy of the photo seen on Modern Screen. A renewal search was done at copyright.gov using the title Modern Screen. There were no listings for the publication; there's no evidence of continued copyright on the magazine. A search revealed that this was taken for 1954 film River of No Return.
context_page_description: The Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in a Motion Picture – Comedy or Musical 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 – Drama.
  The formal title has varied since its inception. In 2005, it was officially called "Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture – Comedy or Musical". As of 2014, the wording is "Best Actress in a Motion Picture – Comedy or Musical".
