Top 5: Actresses Who Won Best Actress For the Wrong Movie

top5This is a bit of a series we’re doing based on a simple fact of Oscar logic: people don’t usually win their Oscars for the movie they should have.  A few weeks back we looked at the Best Actors; today we’ll look at Best Actresses who picked up the little gold guy for the wrong film.This week we’ll examine the ladies.  Oscar had been better about rewarding actresses on merit but lately has fallen in to the same habit of throwing them at a person for hanging around awhile.  We’ll start with last year and someone who’s only 23 and STILL got her Oscar for the wrong movie.
