Renée Zellweger is back, and the Academy is giving her a warm welcome.
As expected, Zellweger on Sunday won the Academy Award for Best Actress for her performance as Judy Garland in Judy. This was her second Oscar win after taking Best Supporting Actress in 2004 for Cold Mountain, but it's her first win in the Best Actress category. She was also nominated for Chicago and Bridget Jones's Diary.
