One has already been nominated 19 times (Meryl Streep). Another has made more than 100 films but this is her first nomination (Isabelle Huppert.)

A third stars as one of America's most beloved first ladies (Natalie Portman). A fourth portrays one half of a couple who fought - and won - for her right to marry who she wanted (Ruth Negga.)

The last, who ironically is the favorite to win, stars as a struggling actress (Emma Stone.)

Those are the five impressive women who are up for the Academy Award in the Best Actress category.

Read on to see clips of their impressive performances. Plus, enter to win your own gold prize... your choice of ALEX AND ANI Golden Rule necklace! But enter soon - this giveaway ends Oscar night, on Sunday, February 26!

Loved Meryl Streep in Florence Foster Jenkins ... she was exceptional in the part. Horrible singing (lol) but it was a wonderful movie.

Hidden Figures was a favorite movie of mine. I was so impressed by both the story and the acting and felt that all the leading actresses did a fabulous job and portrayal of their characters.
